(5) Driving time
(E/Tº)
The elapsed time after the engine starts is displayed.
When the engine is started, driving time is counted from 0:00.
Up to 99:59 (99 hours, 59 minutes) can be displayed. When
the driving time exceeds 99:59, the counter returns to 0:00.
To reset the calculations, push the RESETº button.
INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT
CONTROL
To adjust the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
turn the dial.
With the dial turned fully up, the intensity of the instrument
panel lights will not be reduced when the headlight switch is on.
If the instrument panel light control dial is turned fully down, the
foot lights will turn off.

INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
74All of the lights will come on when any of the doors are
opened.* After all the doors are closed, the lights remain
on for about 15 seconds before fading out.**
NOTE:
* The operating condition can be changed.
** The duration of lighting can be changed and only the foot
lights can be set not to come on.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
However, in the following cases, the lights go out immediately:
All the doors are closed and the ignition key is in the ACCº
or ONº position. (The foot lights come on when the ignition
switch is in the ONº position. See the following Foot
lightsº.)
All the doors are locked.
When any of the door is unlocked, all of the lights will come on
and remain on for about 15 seconds before fading out.
Foot lights
The foot lights also come on when the ignition switch is in the
ONº position with the selector lever in the Pº position. When
the selector lever is moved out of the Pº position, the foot lights
will be dimmed.*
NOTE:
* The foot lights can be set to turn off when the selector lever
is moved out of the Pº position.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
When the instrument panel light control dial is turned fully
down, the foot lights will turn off.
CLOCK
The digital clock indicates the time with the ignition key at
the ACCº or ONº position. To reset the hour, press the
Hº button. To reset the minutes, press the Mº button.
To adjust the time to the nearest hour, press the :00º
button.
For example, if the :00º button is pressed when the time is
between 9:30 Ð 9:59 or between 10:01 Ð 10:29, the time will
change to 10:00.
With the tail lights on, the brightness of the time indication will
be reduced.
If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the
clock, the time display will automatically be set to 1:00 (one
o'clock).

The compass may not show the correct direction in the
following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
The compass does not adjust while the vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off immediately 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 inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.Your vehicle is out of the set zone. Refer to the Calibrating the
compassº in this Section to set the zone number.
The compass works to calibrate the direction automatically
while the vehicle is in motion, if deviation is small.
For additional precision or for complete calibrating, see
Calibrating the compassº below.
If the direction is not indicated or the system does not operate
properly, contact your Lexus dealer.

188Calibrating 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 COMPº switch until the zone number appears on the
display. Then push the COMPº switch, referring to the
following map to select the number of the zone where the
vehicle is.

Zone number
Leaving the system after the calibration for several seconds,
the direction will appear on the display. It shows the zone
number is set.

CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
Calibrating the compass (circling calibration)
To rectify the compass, stop the vehicle and push and hold the
COMPº switch until Cº appears on the display.
There is also a case that Cº appears on the display in case of
the drastic change of the magnetic field.
Drive the vehicle slowly (at 8 km/h [5 mph] or lower) in a circle
until the direction is displayed. If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is
displayed.
After driving in 1 to 3 circles in the above method, calibration
is complete with the direction shown on the display.
Page 215 of 482
STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
190Perform circling calibration just after you have purchased
your Lexus. 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 electric systems (moon
roof, 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.

1Fan speed at low2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by pushing the
appropriate side of fan speed control button. The higher the fan
speed is, the more air is delivered. Pushing the OFFº button
turns off the fan.
To remove exterior windshield frost, use the high speed setting.If manual switching of air intake is desired Ð
The air intake control button is used to switch the air intake
between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR
mode.
To turn the air source to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode, press
the button. The indicator will come on. To turn the air source
to OUTSIDE AIR mode, press the button again. The indicator
will go off.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the air intake mode
may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR mode
depending on the condition of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the air
intake mode may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR
mode. This is not a malfunction.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The indicator light will
come on.
