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 120.)
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while
the vehicle is moving. Doing so
may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident
may occur resulting in death or
serious injuries.
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.
13C010
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.

2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the “AUTO” mode.
When the outside 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.
—Compass
13C013
The compass indicates the direction in
which the vehicle is heading. The illustra-
tion shown above indicates the vehicle is
heading north.Displays

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.
The compass works to calibrate the direc-
tion automatically while the vehicle is in
motion, if deviation is small.
For obtaining additional precision or for
complete calibrating, see “Calibrating the
compass” below.

106
2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
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.

107
2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
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.
13C015a
Zone numberHawaii is included in zone 6.

13C011
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 calibra-
tion, be sure to secure a wide
space, and watch out for people
and vehicles in the neighbor-
hood. Do not violate any local
traffic rules while performing cir-
cling calibration.
Do not adjust the display while
the vehicle is moving. Be sure to
adjust the display only when the
vehicle is stopped.

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.
