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” indi-
cation 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, re-
placed or disconnected.
"
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference 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 ve-
hicles 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.
