STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
clxxxi
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. 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.
 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
(moonroof, 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.

3. Take out the filter case.
4. Remove the filter from the filter case.
5. Inspect the filter on the surface.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced.
INFORMATION
The air conditioning filter should be installed properly
in position. The use of air conditioning with the filter
removed may cause deteriorated dustproof
performance and then affect air conditioning
performance.

Satellite tuner technology notice:
Toyota’s satellite radio tuners are awarded Type Approval
Certificates from XM Satellite Radio Inc. on “May 7, 2004” as
proof of compatibility with the services offered by the XM
satellite radio.

Each XM tuner is identified with a unique radio ID. You will
need the radio ID when activating XM service or when
reporting a problem.
If you select “CH 000” by turning the “TUNE” knob, the ID code\
of 8 alphanumeric characters appears. If you select another
channel, display of the ID code is canceled. Channel (000)
alternates the display between the radio ID and the specific
radio ID code.
