WARNINGDo not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of the compass. 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.)
