Title: MIRROR (INT): INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR: CALIBRATION (2008 Sequoia)

CALIBRATION

HINT:

Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information.

1. SELECT COMPASS DISPLAY MODE

(a) The compass switch 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 compass switch 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) The compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Therefore, ensure that calibration is performed properly before delivery. If driving the vehicle in a circle several times does not complete the calibration procedure, there may be a compass magnetization problem.

5. SET COMPASS



6. ZONE SETTING MODE


(a) Pressing the compass switch for 3 seconds in the normal mode activates 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 compass switch 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 a direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W or NW) or "CAL".

(d) The zone setting numbers are as follows:



7. CALIBRATION SETTING MODE


(a) Pressing the compass switch for 6 seconds in the normal mode will activate the calibration setting mode. "CAL" is displayed on the compass display.

(b) Drive the vehicle at a slow speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) or less in a circular direction.

(c) Driving in a circle 1 to 3 times will display the compass direction on the display, completing the calibration.

HINT:

After the calibration is completed, it is not necessary to perform the above procedures unless the magnetic field strength is drastically changed. If this happens, the compass display will change to "CAL".
