■Deviation
The direction display deviates from the 
true direction determined by the 
earth’s magnetic field. The amount of 
deviation varies depending on the geo-
graphic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundar-
ies shown in illustration, the compass will 
deviate.
To obtain higher prec ision or perfect cali-
bration, refer to “Deviation calibration”.
■Deviation calibration
1 Stop the vehicle.
2 Press and hold the button for 6 sec-
onds. A number (1 to 15) appears 
on the compass display. 3
Referring to the map above, press 
the button to select the number of 
the zone you are in.
If the direction is displayed several seconds 
after adjustment, the calibration is com-
plete.

3086-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■Precaution regarding the rear 
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if 
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped 
or scratched, the  system may malfunc-
tion. If this occurs, consult your Lexus 
dealer.
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration and 
corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the 
following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar, pollen or tree sap is present  on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or  bird droppings are present on the 
paint surface
• After driving in an area contaminated  with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron 
powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled  with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline  are spilled on the paint surface
●If the paint is chip ped or scratched, 
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corroding, 
remove any dirt and store in a place 
with low humidity when storing the 
wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic 
substances or scrub with a hard brush. 
This may damage the surfaces of the 
lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the 
lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■When using an automatic car wash 
(vehicles with rain-sensing windshield 
wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off position.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate and the wiper blades 
may be damaged.
■When using a high-pressure car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do not let 
water of the high-p ressure washer hit 
directly or the vicinity of the camera. 
Due to the shock from the high-pres-
sure water, it is possible the device may 
not operate as normal.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to 
boots (rubber or resin manufactured 
cover), connectors or the following 
parts. The parts may be damaged if 
they come into contact with high-pres-
sure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9 
in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle 
body. Otherwise resin section, such as 
molding and bumpers, may be 
deformed and damaged. 
Also, do not continuously hold the 
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the 
windshield continuously. 
If water enters the air conditioning sys-
tem intake located near the lower part 
of the windshield, th e air conditioning 
system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the vehi-
cle using a high pressure car washer.
