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 push and
hold the “COMP” switch until “C” appears
on the display.
If “C” appears on the display because of
a drastic change in the magnetic field,
perform circling calibration.Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less. If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
After driving 1 to 3 circles in the above
method, calibration is completed when the
direction is shown on the display.
If calibration cannot be performed because
of the magnetized vehicle etc., take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer. 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 (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.
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying images of the
rear of the vehicle during backing up.
The displayed image on the screen is
a horizontally reversed mirror image of
the inside rear view mirror.
To display the rear view on the screen,
place the selector lever in the “R” posi-
tion when the ignition switch in the
“ON” position.
If you move the selector lever out of the
“R” position, the screen returns to the
previous screen. Operating another func-
tion of the navigation system will display
another screen.
The rear view monitor system is an auxil-
iary device intended to back up. When
backing up, be sure to check behind and
all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Do not rely entirely on the rear
view monitor system.
Use caution just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen may differ from actual con-
ditions. If you back up while look-
ing only at the screen, you may hit
a vehicle or have an unexpected
accident. When backing up, be sure
to check behind and all around the
vehicle visually and with mirrors
before proceeding.
NOTICE
Do not use the system when the
back door is not completely closed.
 If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may slip. Be sure to have
the camera’s position and mounting
angle checked at your Toyota deal-
er.
 If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on it in cold weather, the system
may not operate normally.

If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash with a
mild cleanser and rinse.
 Use your own eyes to assure safety
as the displayed image may become
darker and moving images may be
slightly distorted when the display
is cold.

AREA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN

on screen.
The area detected by the camera is
limited. The camera does not detect

The area displayed on the screen
may vary according to vehicle status
or road conditions.
On screen
The distance that appears on the
screen between threedimensional ob-
jects (such as vehicles) and flat sur-
faces (such as the road) and the actual
distance differ as follows.
In reality, A=B away; C is farther than A and B). Howev-
er, on the screen, the situation appears to
be B point B, you will hit the truck.

Oil identification marks
Either or both API registered marks are
added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
The API Service Symbol is located any-
where on the outside of the container.
The top portion of the label shows the oil
quality by API (American Petroleum Insti-
tute) designations such as SL. The center
portion of the label shows the SAE viscos-
ity grade such as SAE 5W −30. “Energy −
Conserving” shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel −saving ca-
pabilities.
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Stan-
dardization and Approval Committee) Certi-
fication Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.
To ensure excellent lubrication perfor-
mance for your engine, “Toyota Genuine
Motor Oil” is available, which has been
specifically tested and approved for all
Toyota engines.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther details about “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil”. Look at the seethrough coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level is satisfactory if it is between
the “F” and “L” lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, add the coolant. (For
the coolant type, see “Coolant type
selection” described below.)
The coolant level in the reservoir will vary
with engine temperature. However, if the
level is on or below the “L” line, add
coolant. Bring the level up to the “F” line.
If the coolant level drops within a short
time after replenishing, there may be a
leak in the system. Visually check the
radiator, hoses, radiator cap and drain
cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Toyota
dealer test the cap pressure and check
for leaks in the cooling system.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not
remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
