1. CORRECTION MODE
   1. If you push the MODE/SET switch and hold for more than 1.5 second and less than 4.5 seconds, the azimuth indicator (DIR) will start blinking with the vehicle's present direction.

   2. Slowly (about 5km/h, 3mph) rotate the vehicle one turn(360 degree) within 128 seconds. The rotation could be made at any direction (left or right) in an open space.
      • The correction data is updated if the automatic correction data is better than the present correction data
      • Turning direction is not important
      • If the correction process is not finished after the vehicle turns 360°, turn the vehicle some more degree.

   3. When the rotation is finished, the azimuth compass indicator (DIR) will stop blinking and the error correction is completed.

      If the indicator continues to blink, rotate the vehicle a bit more until the blinking stops.

2. DECLINATION CORRECTION (VARIANT REGION CHANGE MODE)

   Change the "Declination Setting Value" according to the regional declination to synchronize the true north and vehicle's north.

   1. Push the mode button longer than 4.5 Sec to enter the declination correction mode. ('DIR' is blinking 4 times)

   2. Push the UP or DOWN button longer than 0.1 Sec to change the declination setting Value (Steps by 5° to East or WEST; After East 30, wraps to West 30)

   3. Cancellation conditions of Declination correction
      1. If you push the MODE/SET switch and hold for more than 0.1 and less than 1 seconds.
      2. Without any effective input for 30 seconds.
   CAUTION:

   • Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc. that are attached to the vehicle using a magnet as anything attached to the roof of the vehicle with a magnet will effect compass operation.
   • If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon after repeated adjustment, have the compass checked at an authorized dealer.
   • The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels or while driving up or down a steep hill. (The compass returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle moves to an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
   • Declination correction and correction setting value is not deleted during the B (+) OFF.
