Inner Rear View Mirror: Calibration: Calibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- SELECT COMPASS DISPLAY MODE
- The compass switch*1 or auto switch*2 allows you to select Display or Non-display mode of the compass.
- *1: w/ Garage Door Open System
- *2: w/o Garage Door Open System
- The compass switch*1 or auto switch*2 allows you to select Display or Non-display mode of the compass.
- SET ZONE
- Deviation between the "magnetic north" and "actual north" differs depending on the location. Therefore, adjustment of the magnetism is required. Because the magnetic condition differs depending on the area where the vehicle is used, it is necessary for each user to set the zone (Refer to Compass Zone Map, see Fig 2).The zone setting can be changed using the compass switch*1 or auto switch*2 of the inner mirror.

- PERFORM CALIBRATION
- Because each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each individual vehicle. This compass function is used when storing the record of the vehicle's magnetic field.
- WHEN COMPASS IS MAGNETIZED:
- A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that calibration is performed properly before delivery. If this cannot be done (cannot be completed in spite of driving around several times), it may be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.
- SET COMPASS
- ZONE SETTING MODE
- Pressing the comp switch*1 or auto switch*2 for 6 seconds in normal mode will activate the zone setting mode. A number (1 - 15) is displayed on the compass display.
HINT:
In the initial state, "8" is displayed.
- The displayed number increases + 1 every time the comp switch*1 or auto switch*2 is pressed. Referring to the map, check the number for the area where the vehicle will be used and set the zone number.
- Leave it untouched for several seconds after setting and check that the compass display shows an azimuthal direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W or NW) or "C".
- *1: w/ Garage Door Open System
- *2: w/o Garage Door Open System
- Pressing the comp switch*1 or auto switch*2 for 6 seconds in normal mode will activate the zone setting mode. A number (1 - 15) is displayed on the compass display.
- CALIBRATION SETTING MODE
- Pressing the comp switch*1 or auto switch*2 for 9 seconds in normal mode will activate the calibration setting mode. "C" is displayed on the compass display.
- Drive the vehicle at a slow speed of 8 km/h (5mph) or less in a circular direction.
- Driving around the circle 1 to 3 times will display the azimuthal direction on the display, completing the calibration.
HINT:
After the calibration is completed, it is not necessary to perform the above procedure unless the magnetic field strength is drastically changed. If this happens, the azimuthal display will be changed to "C".
- The zone setting numbers are as follows:
- *1: w/ Garage Door Open System
- *2: w/o Garage Door Open System
