Inner rear view mirror assy

REPLACEMENT

HINT: The installation is in the reverse order of the removal.

1. REMOVE INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY

Remove the screw.
(w/ Erector chromic inner mirror: Remove the inner rear view mirror cover.
w/ Erector chromic inner mirror: Disconnect the connector.
Remove the rear view inner mirror assembly.

PRE−CHECK

1. SELECTING COMPASS DISPLAY MODE

a. The comp switch allows you to select a Display or Non−display mode of the compass.

2. SETTING ZONE

a. Deviation between the ”magnetic north” and ”actual north” differs depending on the location. Therefore, adjustment of the magnetism is required. Since the magnetic condition differs depending on the area where the vehicle is used, it is necessary for each user to set the zone. (Refer to ”Compass Zone Map”). The zone setting can be changed using the comp switch of the inner mirror.

3. PERFORMING CALIBRATION

a. Since each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each vehicle. This compass function is used when storing the record of the magnetic field of the vehicle.

4. WHEN COMPASS MAGNETIZED:

a. A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Before delivery, therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that calibration is done properly. If it cannot be done (cannot be complete in spite of driving around several times), it may be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.

5. SETTING COMPASS

6. ZONE SETTING MODE

6. ZONE SETTING MODE

a. Press the comp switch for 3 seconds. In the normal mode, the zone setting mode will activate.

A number (1−15) is displayed on the compass display.

HINT: In the initial status, ”8” is displayed.

The displayed number increases +1 every time the comp switch is pressed. Referring to the map, check the number for the area where the vehicle will be used and set the zone number.
Leave it untouched for several seconds after setting and check that the compass display shows an azimuthal direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W or NW) or ”C”.

7. CALIBRATION SETTING MODE

Press the comp switch for 6 seconds. in the normal mode, this mode will also activate.
Drive the vehicle at a slow speed of 8 km/h (5 MPH) or less in the circular direction.
Driving around the circle 1 to 3 times will display the azimuthal direction on the display, completing the calibration.

HINT: Once calibration is completed, it is not necessary to perform the above procedures unless the magnetic field strength is drastically changed. If this happens, the azimuthal display will be changed to ”C”.

INSPECTION

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSY

a. Inspect operation of the elector chromic inner mirror.

Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 2.
Attach a black colored tape to the forward sensor to prevent it from sensing.
Light up the mirror with an electric light, and check that the mirror surface changes from ”bright” to ”dark”.

If operation is not as specified, replace the inner mirror.
