Highlander 4WD V6-3.5L (2GR-FE) (2008)
Compass: Testing and Inspection
MIRROR: INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR: CALIBRATION
CALIBRATION
1. SELECT COMPASS DISPLAY MODE
(a) The MULTIFUNCTION Button allows you to select the Display or Non-display mode of the compass.
2. SET ZONE
(a) Deviation between the "magnetic north" and "actual north" differs depending on the location. Therefore, adjustment of the magnetism is
required. Because the magnetic condition differs depending on the area where the vehicle is used, it is necessary for each user to set the zone
(Refer to Compass Zone Map). The zone setting can be changed using the MULTIFUNCTION Button of the inner mirror.
3. PERFORM CALIBRATION
(a) Because each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each individual vehicle. This compass function is used
when storing the record of the vehicle's magnetic field.
4. WHEN COMPASS IS MAGNETIZED:
(a) A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that
calibration is performed properly before delivery. If this cannot be done (cannot be completed in spite of driving around several times), it may
be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.
5. SET COMPASS
6. ZONE SETTING MODE
(a) Pressing the MULTIFUNCTION Button for 3 seconds in the normal mode will activate the zone setting mode. A number (1 - 15) is displayed
on the compass display.
HINT: In the initial state, "8" is displayed.
(b) The displayed number increases +1 every time the MULTIFUNCTION Button is pressed. Referring to the map, check the number for the area
where the vehicle will be used and set the zone number.
(c) Leave it untouched for several seconds after setting and check that the compass display shows an azimuthal direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W
or NW) or "C".
