The compass indicates the direction
that the vehicle is heading. In the
above case, it shows that the vehicle is
heading north.Displays

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference 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.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS”
below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below.

Compass sensor
The compass sensor is in the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. 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 deter-
mined 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 “
” switch until
the zone number appears on the display.
Then push the “
” switch, referring to
the following map to select the number of
the zone where the vehicle is.

After calibration, leaving the system for
several seconds returns it to the compass
mode.
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)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. To
rectify this, stop the vehicle and push and
hold the “
” switch until “C” appears on
the display.
If “C” appears on the display because of
a drastic change in the magnetic field,
perform circling calibration.
CY19033
Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less. If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
After driving 1 to 3 circles in the above
method, calibration is completed when the
direction is shown on the display.
If calibration cannot be performed because
of the magnetized vehicle etc., take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer. Perform circling calibration just after
you have purchased your Toyota. And
then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, re-
placed or disconnected.
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference 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 elec-
tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
the calibration.

3022007 4Runner from Aug. ’06 Prod. (OM35866U)
CAUTION
When doing the circling calibration,
be sure to secure a wide space,
and watch out for people and ve-
hicles 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.
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle while back-
ing up. The image is displayed in re-
verse on the screen. This allows the
image to appear in the same manner as
that of the rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the selector lever in the
“R” position when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” position.
If you move the selector lever out of the
“R” position, the screen returns to the
previous screen. Operating another func-
tion of the navigation system will display
another screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check be-
hind and all around the vehicle visually.CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when back-
ing up. Always make sure your in-
tended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual con-
ditions. Depicted distances between
objects and flat surfaces will differ
from actual distance. If you back up
while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a vehicle, a person or
an object. When backing up, be
sure to check behind and all around
the vehicle visually and with mir-
rors before proceeding.

Do not use the system when the
back door is not completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played image may become faint or
dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the ve-
hicle visually and with mirror before
proceeding.
When replacing the tires, please consult
your Toyota dealer. If you replace the
tires, the area displayed on the screen
may change.

AREA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN
Image is displayed approximately level
on screen.
The area detected by the camera is
limited. The camera does not detect
objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the

may vary according to vehicle orien-
tation or road conditions.

THE REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
CAMERA
The rear view monitor system camera is
located on the back door as shown in the
illustration. The camera uses a special
lens. The distance of the image that ap-
pears on the screen differs from the actu-
al distance.
In the following cases, it may become
difficult to see the images on the screen,
even when the system is functioning.
In the dark (for example, at night)
When the temperature near the lens is
high or low
When water droplets are adhering to
the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
When foreign matter (for example,
snow or mud) is adhering to the cam-
era
When the sun or the beam of head-
lights is shining directly into the cam-
era lens
