IGNITION SWITCH LIGHT
14X004a
For easy access to the ignition switch, the ignition switch
light comes on when any of the doors are opened.
The light remains on for about 15 seconds and goes out after
all the doors are closed. However, the light goes out
immediately when all the doors are locked or the ignition key
is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
CLOCK
14X500
The digital clock indicates the time when the ignition key
is at the “ACC” or “ON” position. To reset the hour, press
the “H” button. To reset the minutes, press the “M”
button. To adjust the time to the nearest hour, press the
“:00” button.
For example, if the “:00” button is pressed when the time is
between 9:30 − 9:59 or between 10:01 − 10:29, the time will
change to 10:00.
If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the
clock, the time display will automatically be set to 1:00.
When the headlight switch is in the first or second click stop,
you can also adjust the brightness of the display using the
instrument panel light control dial.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
14X501
This display shows the outside temperature when the
ignition switch is on.
The displayed temperature ranges from −30C (− 22F) up to
50 C (122F). If the temperature does not appear on the
display or it shows “− − ”, take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer.
When the headlight switch is in the first or second click stop,
you can also adjust the brightness of the display using the
instrument panel light control dial.
The unit shown on the display can be changed. For details,
see “Trip information display” on page 63.
CIGARETTE LIGHTER AND ASHTRAY
Front
14X006c
To use the cigarette lighter, press in the cigarette lighter.
After it finishes heating up, it automatically pops out ready
for use.
Do not hold the cigarette lighter pressed in.
If the engine is not running, the ignition key must be in the
“ACC” position to use the lighter.
When finished with your cigarette, thoroughly extinguish it in
the ashtray to prevent other cigarette butts from catching fire.
After using the ashtray, close the lid completely.
To remove the ashtray, press down on the lock spring plate and
pull out.
Use a Lexus genuine cigarette lighter or equivalent for
replacement.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

Compass (vehicles without navigation
system)
16x271a
The compass indicates the direction in which the vehicle
is heading. The illustration shown above indicates that the
vehicle is heading north.Displays
Directions

Pushing the “AUTO” button for longer than 3 seconds
turns on or off the compass display.
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.
 Any door is open.
If the deviation is small, the compass works to calibrate the
direction automatically while the vehicle in motion.
For obtaining additional precision or for complete calibrating,
see “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS” below.

NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object near the inside rear
view mirror. Doing this may cause malfunction of the
compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation calibration)
The direction display on the compass deviates from the true
direction determined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
amount of deviation varies according to the geographic
position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the vehicle and push the
button for longer than about 6 seconds until the number (1 −15)
appears on the display. Then push the button again, referring
to the following map to select the number of the zone where the
vehicle is.

 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)
16x280a
“C” 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.
16x270
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 of the magnetized
vehicle, etc., take your vehicle to 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.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

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.

AIR CONDITIONING

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS
20X017e
You can adjust the brightness of the display. See
“Instrument panel light control” on page 66 for details.
The automatic air conditioning automatically maintains
the set temperature.
This air conditioning features automatic fan speed and air flow
control which automatically se lects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow to control the temperature. The ignition key
must be in the “ON” position.NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the air conditioning on longer than necessary
when the engine is not running.
