Zone number
If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment,
the calibration is finished.
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)
G17011
“CAL” appears on the display in case the circling calibration is
required due to a drastic change in the magnetic field. To
rectify this, follow the calibration procedure below.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

G17012
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 “CAL” off the display and the direction
shown on the display.
If calibration cannot be performed because of the vehicle is
magnetized, take your vehicle to a Lexus dealer.
 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.

Consumption
The consumption is calculated and displayed based on
the driving distance and the fuel consumption for 2
seconds with engine running.
The value is updated every 0.5 seconds.
If you are driving at low speeds just before stopping, the
accurate figure may not be shown.
After Refueling
The consumption after refueling is calculated and
displayed based on the total driving distance and the total
fuel consumption after refueling.
The value is updated every 10 seconds.
When refueling, be sure to stop your vehicle and turn the
engine switch off. Cruising Range
How far you can drive with the remaining fuel is
displayed.
Even though the display indicates sufficient miles to run, if the
fuel level on the fuel gauge approaches “E” or the low fuel level
warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
INFORMATION
 When you first start driving your new vehicle, the
correct cruising range may not be shown. One or
more refills of 10 gallons or more may be required for
the system to set its calibration.
 The cruising range displayed is calculated based on
past fuel consumption and may vary according to
your driving style and road condition.
