The compass works to calibrate the direc-
tion automatically while the vehicle is in
motion, if deviation is small.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE COM-
PASS” below.
If the direction is not indicated or the
system does not operate properly, contact
your Toyota dealer.

Compass sensor
The compass sensor is in the accesso-
ry meter.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the accessory meter. 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
and push and hold the “SET” button for
about 2 seconds. The zone number ap-
pears on the outside temperature display.
Select the zone number by pushing the
“E/M” button, referring to the following
map to determine where the vehicle is.

Zone numbers
After calibration, leave the system for 6
seconds or push and hold the “SET” but-
ton for about 2 seconds. The display will
return to the outside temperature display.
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 do as
follows.1. Push and hold the “SET” button for about 2 seconds. The zone number ap-
pears on the outside temperature dis-
play.
2. Push the “SET” button. “ −−” will start
moving.

3. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5 mph). If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
When the compass display returns to the
outside temperature display, calibration is
complete.
When circling calibration fails, “Er” is dis-
played for 2 seconds and then “COM-
PASS” flashes. It also flashes when cir-
cling calibration is not completed.
If you want to cancel the calibration be-
fore it is complete, push the “SET” button
for about 2 seconds. 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 (power windows, etc.) as
they may interfere with the calibration.
