The accessory meter provides the fol-
lowing information.1. Compass (For details, see “—Compass” on page
184 in this Section.)
2. Outside temperature (For details, see “—Outside tempera-
ture display” on page 184 in this Sec-
tion.)
3. Clinometer (For details, see “—Clinometer” on
page 188 in this Section.)
When the ignition switch is turned to
“ON”, the last previously used mode dis-
played just before the ignition switch is
turned off will appear.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the accessory meter,
the display will automatically be set to the
initial mode. “E/M” button
This button is used to switch between
English/U.S. Customary System and
metric units of the outside temperature
display.
Each time you push this button, the dis-
play switches. The display variations are
as follows;
Indication
Outside
temperature
English/U.S. Customary System (E)F
Metric (M)C
The initial mode will be English/U.S. Cus-
tomary System units, however, if the unit
is switched to metric and the ignition
switch is off, it will display metric units
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”.
“SET” button
This button is used to calibrate the
compass
For details, see “—Compass” on page 184
in this Section.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

TS10005
The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature. The
displayed value is updated.
To set the unit, push the “E/M” button
until the desired unit display appears.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−30 C ( −22 F) up to 50 C (122 F).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
“ −− C” (“ −−F”) will appear on the display.
If “ −−C” (“ −−F”) appears on the display,
contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−− C” (“ −−F”)
appears momentarily when the ignition is
quickly turned to “ON”. It is normal if it
goes out soon.
TS10006
The compass indicates the direction
that the vehicle is heading. In the
above case, it indicates that the vehicle
is heading north.

Directions
NE

East
South West
The compass points north for about 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position, and then indicates the
actual direction the vehicle facing. When
the ignition switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position, it indicates the actual
direction for about 5 seconds and then
points in a random direction.
The compass may not indicates the cor-
rect direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is 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.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the accessory meter.)
The battery has been disconnected.

The compass works to calibrate the direc-
tion automatically while the vehicle is in
motion, if deviation is small.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE COM-
PASS” below.
If the direction is not indicated or the
system does not operate properly, contact
your Toyota dealer.
TS10007
Compass sensor
The compass sensor is in the accesso-
ry meter.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the accessory meter. Doing
this may cause malfunction of the
compass sensor.
TS10008a
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
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.
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle
and push and hold the “SET” button for
about 2 seconds. The zone number ap-
pears on the outside temperature display.
Select the zone number by pushing the
“E/M” button, referring to the following
map to determine where the vehicle is.

Zone numbers
After calibration, leave the system for 6
seconds or push and hold the “SET” but-
ton for about 2 seconds. The display will
return to the outside temperature display.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling
calibration)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. To
rectify this, stop the vehicle and do as
follows.1. Push and hold the “SET” button for about 2 seconds. The zone number ap-
pears on the outside temperature dis-
play.
2. Push the “SET” button. “ −−” will start
moving.
TS10010
3. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5 mph). If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
When the compass display returns to the
outside temperature display, calibration is
complete.
When circling calibration fails, “Er” is dis-
played for 2 seconds and then “COM-
PASS” flashes. It also flashes when cir-
cling calibration is not completed.
If you want to cancel the calibration be-
fore it is complete, push the “SET” button
for about 2 seconds. 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.
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.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (power windows, etc.) as
they may interfere with the calibration.

1882007 FJ CRUISER from Oct. ’06Prod. (OM35873U)
CAUTION
When doing the circling calibration,
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.
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
TS10011
The clinometer shows longitudinal and lat-
eral inclination of the vehicle. The display
ranges between 30 and −30 .
TS10004
To reset the hour: Push the “H” button.
To reset the minutes: Push the “M” button.
The key must be in the “ACC” or “ON”
position.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the clock, the time dis-
play will automatically be set to 1:00 (one
o’clock).

The intuitive parking assist is designed
to inform you of the approximate dis-
tance between your vehicle and an ob-
struction by buzzer while driving at
approximate 10 km/h (6 mph) or less
when parking the vehicle. This system
uses sensors to detect obstructions.
This system works when the ignition key
is at the “ON” position and the transmis-
sion is in the “R” position.
The sensors work only when the transmis-
sion is in the “R” position.
TS17017
To turn on: Push the switch
The indicator comes on and the buzzer
will sound.
To turn off: Push the switch again.
In the following cases, the buzzer will
sound several times to indicate that the
system is not working properly.
When the temperature is extremely low.
When any of the sensors are malfunc-
tion.
If the buzzer keeps sounding intermittently
with nothing close to the sensors, have
your Toyota dealer check the system.

Perceptible area
B: Approximately 1500 mm (59.1 in.)
Perceptible area is limited as shown in
the previous illustration. Check the area
around the vehicle before driving and start
driving slowly.
CAUTION
The intuitive parking assist is in-
tended as an aid to assist you to
park and is not a substitute for
your personal judgment. Make your
driving decisions based on your ob-
servations.
Do not attach accessories or other
objects to the vehicle within the
sensor perceptible area. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunc-
tion, which might result in an acci-
dent.
In certain situations, the system
will not function properly and when
the vehicle approaches certain ob-
jects, the system will not detect
those objects. Therefore, always ob-
serve the area around the vehicle
and do not rely solely on the sys-
tem.

dian ICES001.
