The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s
magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to the geographic posi-
tion of the vehicle.
If you cross over a map boundaries show n in illustration, the compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.
■Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle.
Press and hold the switch for 6
seconds.
A number (1 to 15) appears on the
compass display.
Press the switch and referring to the map above, select the number of the
zone where you are.
If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the calibration is
complete.

■Circling calibration
Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press and hold the switch for 9
seconds.
“C” appears on the compass display.
Drive the vehicle at 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less in a circle until a
direction is displayed.
If there is not enough space to drive
in a circle, drive around the block
until the direction is displayed.
■Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:
●The vehicle is stopped 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 car park/parking lot, under a steel tower,
between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersection, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
●The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)
●The 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
●A door is open.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters to
detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
●If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is warned by
a screen display and a warning light. ( →P. 5 0 7 )
●The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. ( →P. 9 1 )
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-
information display.
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must be initiali zed. Have tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter ID codes registered by your Lexus dealer. ( →P. 4 6 7 )
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following circum-
stances:
●When rotating the tires.
●When the tire inflation pressure is ch anged such as when changing travel-
ing speed or load weight.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
