(e) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the battery is being discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, stop the vehicle, turn off the
engine, and check for the cause. Look first at the engine drive
belt.
 If it is loose or broken, the generator will not charge the
battery properly.
 If the belt is O.K., there is a problem somewhere in the
charging system.
The engine ignition will continue to operate, however, until the
battery is discharged. Turn off the air conditioning, blower,
radio, etc., and drive directly to the nearest Lexus dealer or

If the lamp remains on, or the lamp comes on while
driving, first check the following:
 Empty fuel tank
If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immediately.
 Loose fuel tank cap
If the fuel tank cap is loose, securely tighten it.
These cases are temporary malfunctions. The malfunction
indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips.
If the lamp does not go off even after several trips, contact your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
If the fuel tank is not empty or the fuel tank cap is not
loose...

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 near the audio system.)
 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 obtaining additional precision or for complete calibrating,
see “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS” on page 107.

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.
If calibration cannot be performed because the vehicle is
magnetized, take your vehicle to a Lexus dealer.
If you want to cancel the calibration before it is complete, push
and hold the “RESET” button on the steering pad more than 6
seconds. To calibrate the compass again, push and hold the
same but ton more than 6 seconds. After “DRIVE IN CIRCLES”
appears on the display, follow the calibration procedure above.
Perform circling calibration just after you have purchased
your Lexus. And then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, replaced or
disconnected.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener (\b Universal
Transceiver) is manufactured under license from
HomeLink
\b and can be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks, home lighting
systems, and security systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink\b
14L070
 1 Buttons 2Indicator light
The HomeLink
\b in your vehicle has 3 buttons and you can
store one program for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the HomeLink
\b, install a
new battery in the hand −held transmitter prior to programming.

INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
123
The battery side of the hand
−held transmitter must be pointed
away from the HomeLink
\b during the programming process.
For Canadian users, follow the procedure in “Programming an
entrance gate/Programming all devices in the Canadian
market”.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
\b buttons you want to program.
2. Place your hand− held garage transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1 to
3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink
\b.
Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink
\b in view while
programming.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand −held garage
transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink
\b button.
4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink
\b changes from a
slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both
buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink
\b by pressing the newly
programmed button. If programming a garage door opener,
check to see if the garage door opens and closes.
If the garage door does not operate, identify if your garage
transmitter is of the “Rolling Code” type. Press and hold the
programmed HomeLink
\b button. The garage door has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light (on the HomeLink\b)
flashes rapidly and then remains lit after 2 seconds. If your
garage transmitter is the “Rolling Code” type, proceed to the
heading “Programming a rolling code system”. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each remaining HomeLink
\b
button to program another device.
Programming a rolling code system
If your device is “Rolling Code” equipped, it is necessary
to follow steps 1 through 4 under the heading
“Programming the HomeLink
\b” before proceeding with
the steps listed below.
1. Locate the “training” button on the ceiling mounted garage
door opener motor. The exact location and color of the button
may vary by brand of garage door opener. Refer to the owner’s
guide supplied by the garage door opener manufacturer for the
location of this “training” button.
2. Press the “training” button on the ceiling mounted garage
door opener motor.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds in which to initiate
step 3 below.
3. Press and release the vehicle’s programmed HomeLink
\b
button twice. The garage door may open. If the door does
open, the programming process is complete. If the door does
not open, press and release the button a third time. This third
press and release will complete the programming process by
opening the garage door.
The ceiling mounted garage door opener motor should now
recognize the HomeLink
\b unit and be able to activate the
garage door up/down.
