TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2006 J100 Owners Manual

101
Outside rear view mirrors—
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
When you push the outside rear view mir-
ror heater switch, the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the mirror surface. (See “Outside rear
view mirror heaters” on page 117.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the
vehicle and an accident may occur
resulting in death or serious inju-
ries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get
hot, do not touch them when the
mirror heater switch is on.
To adjust a mirror, use the switches.1. Master switch—To select the mirror to be adjusted
Place the switch at “L” (left) or “R”
(right).
2. Control switch—To move the mirror Push the switch in the desired direc-
tion.
Mirrors can be adjusted when the key is
in the “ACC” or “ON” position.

NOTICE
If ice should jam the mirror, do not
operate the control or scrape the mir-
ror face. Use a spray deicer to free
the mirror.
—Folding rear view mirrors
The rear view mirrors can be folded
backward for parking in compact areas.
To fold the rear view mirror, push back-
ward.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the mirrors folded
backward. Both the driver and pas-
senger side rear view mirrors must
be extended and properly adjusted
before driving.
13C010b
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the rear of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Pushing the switch changes the mode
between “AUTO” and “DAY”.
The indicator comes on when the “AUTO”
mode is selected.
“DAY” mode: The mirror surface is nor-
mal.
“AUTO” mode: If the mirror detects
light from the headlights of the vehicle
behind you, the mirror surface darkens
slightly to reduce the reflected light.
Antiglare inside rear view
mirror—

103
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the “AUTO” mode.
When the inside air temperature is low, it
may take a little longer for the mirror to
darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so may
cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
13c570b
To ensure correct functioning of anti−glare
mirror sensors located on both sides of
the mirror, do not touch or cover the sen-
sors with your finger or a piece of cloth,
etc.
13c013
The compass indicates the direction in
which the vehicle is heading. The illustra-
tion shown above indicates the vehicle is
heading north.

—Compass (vehicles without

104
Pushing the “AUTO” button for longer
3 seconds turns on or off the compass
display.
The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning. The compass does not ad-
just 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 inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
Any door is open.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For obtaining additional precision or for
complete calibrating, see “Calibrating the
compass” below.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
near the inside rear view mirror. Do-
ing this may cause malfunction of the
compass sensor.
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
amount of deviation varies according to
the geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve-
hicle and push the button for longer than
about 6 seconds until the number (1 −15)
appears on the display. Then push the
button again, referring to the following
map to select the number of the zone
where the vehicle is.

105
If the direction is displayed several sec-
onds after adjustment, the calibration is
finished.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
13C015b
Zone numberHawaii is included in zone 6.

106
13c011a
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
(circling calibration)
“C” appears on the display in case the
circling calibration is required due to a
drastic change in the magnetic field. To
rectify this, follow the calibration proce-
dure below.
13C012
Drive the vehicle slowly (at 8km/h (5mph)
or lower) in a circle until the direction is
displayed. If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the block
until the direction is displayed.
After driving in 1 to 3 circles in the above
method, calibration is complete with the
direction shown on the display.
If calibration cannot be performed because
of the magnetized vehicle, etc., take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer.
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 (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
the calibration.
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.

107
Sun visors—
To block out glare, move the sun visor.
To block out glare from the front—Swing
down the main sun visor.
To block out glare from the side—Swing
down the main sun visor, remove it from
the hook and swing it to the lateral side.
You can adjust its position as shown.To block the glare from the front when the
main sun visor is swung down, swing
down the second sun visor.
CAUTION
Slide the main sun visor only when
it is swung down to the lateral side.
It can cover the antiglare inside rear
view mirror and obstruct the rear
view.
—Vanity mirror
To use the vanity mirror, swing down
the main sun visor and open the cover.
The vanity light comes on when you open
the cover.

Headlight and turn signals
HEADLIGHTS
To turn on the following lights: Twist
the headlight/turn signal lever knob.
Position 1—Parking, tail, license plate,
side marker and instrument panel lights
However, if the surroundings are bright
and if the instrument panel light control
dial is not turned fully on, the instrument
panel lights do not come on.
Position 2—Headlights and all of the
above
Position 3 (“AUTO”)—Headlights and/or all
of the lights in position 1
They automatically turn on or off depend-
ing on the darkness of the surroundings.*Manually twist the knob to the position 2
to turn on the headlights if they are need-
ed immediately when entering a dark tun-
nel, parking structure, etc.
NOTE: *The operating condition or sensi-
tivity can be changed. Ask your Toyota
dealer for details.The automatic light control sensor is on
the top of the passenger ’s side instrument
panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument
panel, and/or do not affix anything on the
windshield to block this sensor.
When the headlights come on, the lights
automatically turn off about 30 seconds
after any of the doors is opened and
closed with the ignition key turned to the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position.* To turn them
on again, turn the ignition key to the ”ON”
position, or turn the headlight switch off
and then twist the knob until the first or
second clickstop. If you are going to park
for over one week, make sure the head-
light switch is off.
