The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to
the geographic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or accurate calibration, refer to the following.

■

Deviation calibration

Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.

Press the hold the button for 6 seconds. A number (1 to 15)
appears on the compass display.

Press the switch, and referring to the map above, select the num-
ber of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the cali-
bration is complete.

●

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 inter-
ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under
a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-
tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).

●

The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

WARNING

■

When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components, etc., to catch fire.

■

Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

■

Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.

■

Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.

■

Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.

WARNING

■

Water in the vehicle

●

Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components, etc., to malfunction or catch
fire.

●

Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(

→P. 39)

An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

■

Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
