All information in this Pocket Reference Guide is current at the time of printing.

Toyota reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.

The outside temperature display indicates the outside air temperature. The displayed value is updated.

To set the unit, push the “E/M” button until the desired unit display appears.

The displayed temperature ranges from

−30C (−22F) up to 50C (122F). If an abnormality exists in the connection

of the outside air temperature sensor, “−−C” (“−−F”) will appear on the display. If “−−C” (“−−F”) appears on the display, contact your Toyota dealer.

There may be a case that “−− C” (“−−F”) appears momentarily when the ignition is quickly turned to “ON”. It is normal if it goes out soon.

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

 The vehicle is stopped immediately af-

ter turning.

 The compass does not adjust while the

vehicle is stopped.

 The ignition switch is turned off imme-

diately after turning.

 The vehicle is on an inclined surface.  The vehicle is in a place where the

earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).

 The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a

magnet or a metal object on or near the roof.)

 The battery has been disconnected.

If the deviation is small, the compass works to calibrate the direction automatically while the vehicle is in motion.

For additional precision or for complete calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS” below.

06 09.29

If the direction is not indicated or the system does not operate properly, contact your Toyota dealer.

Compass sensor

The compass sensor is on the roof of the vehicle.

NOTICE

Do not put magnets or a metal object on or near the roof of the vehicle. Doing this may cause malfunction of the compass sensor.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation calibration)

The direction display on the compass deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s magnetic field. The angle of deviation varies according to the geographic position of the vehicle.

To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle, then push and hold the “E/M” button until the “VAR” indication appears on the compass display. Then push the “E/M” button, referring to the following map to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling calibration)

Sometimes the direction display on the compass may not change after a turn. To rectify this, stop the vehicle and push and hold the “E/M” button until the “CAL” indication appears on the compass display. (At this time, the compass display is locked in “N”.)

LS10039

Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5 mph) or less. If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block.

When the “CAL” indication goes off and the compass returns to the normal mode, calibration is complete.

If calibration cannot be performed because of the magnetized vehicle etc., take your vehicle to Toyota dealer.

Perform circling calibration just after you have purchased your Toyota. And then always perform circling calibration after the battery has been removed, replaced or disconnected.

 Do not perform circling calibration of

the compass in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).

 During calibration, do not operate elec-

tric systems (power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

CAUTION

 When doing the circling calibration,

be sure to secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neighborhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.

 Do not adjust the display while the

vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is stopped.
