The compass may not show the correct  
direction in the following conditions:  
The compass works to calibrate the direc-  
tion automatically while the vehicle is in  
motion, if deviation is small.  
If the ignition switch was turned off with  
the system on, the system will automati-  
cally turn back on when the ignition switch  
is turned on.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation  
calibration)  
The compass sensor is in the inside  
rear view mirror.  
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.  
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.  
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,  
then push and hold the both personal light  
switches until the zone number appears  
on the display. Then push the right side  
or left side personal light switch, referring  
to the following map to select the number  
of the zone where the vehicle is.

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.  
D 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.).  
D During calibration, do not operate elec-  
tric systems (moon roof, power win-  
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with  
the calibration.  
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling  
calibration)  
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  
Sometimes the direction display on the  
compass may not change after a turn. To  
rectify this, stop the vehicle and push and  
hold the both personal light switches until  
“C” appears on the display.  
block.  
After driving 1 to 3 circles in the above  
method, calibration is completed when the  
direction is shown on the display.  
CAUTION  
D When doing the circling calibration,  
If “C” appears on the display because of  
a drastic change in the magnetic field,  
perform circling calibration.  
If calibration cannot be performed because  
of the magnetized vehicle etc., take your  
vehicle to Toyota dealer.  
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.  
D Do not adjust the display while the  
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust  
the display only when the vehicle is  
stopped.
