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.
D 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.).
D During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (power windows, etc.) as
they may interfere with the calibration.
CAUTION
D 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.
D Do not adjust the display while the
