D The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a magnet or a metal
object near the audio system.)
D The battery has been disconnected.
If the deviation is small, the compass works to calibrate the
direction automatically while the vehicle is in motion.
For obtaining additional precision or for complete calibrating,
see “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS” on page 105.
COMPASS SENSOR

"
Compass sensor
The compass sensor is located behind the audio system.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object near the audio
system. Doing this may cause malfunction of the
compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
The direction display on the compass deviates from the true
direc
tion determined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
amount of deviation varies according to the geographic
position of the vehicle.
If you cross over the area divided as shown in the illustration,
the compass will deviate. If it is necessary to calibrate the
compass (deviation calibration), take your vehicle to your
Lexus dealer. Even if you do not cross over, the compass may
sometimes deviate. If this happens, perform “DRIVE IN
CIRCLES” calibration as shown on the next page.
