    • < Case that the body is magnetized >

      If the sensor value is outside the range between 450 and 580, it is meant that the body is magnetized. The screen that calls upon to demagnetize the body stating "Demagnetize within range of acceptable level" is displayed. In this case, it is necessary to demagnetize the body and to correct the geomagnetic sensor. Refer to on-vehicle service-vehicle magnetic compensation, see ON-VEHICLE SERVICE  .
