The power outlet can be used for 120 V AC accessories that run on less than
100 W.

■

The power outlet can be used when
12 V DC: The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
120 V AC: The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

■

The protection circuit may be activated to cut the power supply if any of the following

conditions apply (120 V AC):

●

Use of electrical appliances exceeding 100 W is attempted.

A sound may be heard when the protection circuit is activated. This is normal and does

not indicate a malfunction.

●

The total power usage by all electrical features (headlights, air conditioning, etc.) has

exceeded the total vehicle maximum for an extended period of time.

■

If the protection circuit is activated and the power supply is cut, conduct the following

procedure (120 V AC):

Park the vehicle in a safe place, and then securely apply the parking brake.
Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the maxi-

mum capacity of the power outlet and the appliance is not broken.
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode again.

When the cabin temperature is high, open the windows to cool the temperature down.

Once it reaches the normal temperature, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON

mode again.
If the power supply does not resume even after the above procedure has been per-

formed, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

Calibrating the compass

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s
magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to the geographic posi-
tion of the vehicle.

If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the compass will

deviate.

To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to “Deviation calibration”.

Deviation calibration

Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press the switch until a number (1
to 15) appears on the compass
display.

Press the switch and referring to the map above, select the number of the
zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the calibration is

complete.

◆

Circling calibration

When “C” appears on the display,
drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8 km/h)
or less in a circle until a direction is
displayed.

If there is not enough space to drive

in a circle, drive around the block

until the direction is displayed.

Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

●

The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.

●

The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

●

The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by

artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under a steel tower,

between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersection, near a large vehicle,

etc.).

●

The vehicle has become magnetized.

(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

●

The battery has been disconnected.

●

A door is open.

CAUTION

■

While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is stopped.

■

When doing the circling calibration
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the vicinity. Do not vio-

late any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.

NOTICE

■

To avoid the compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror. 

Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.

■

To ensure normal operation of the compass

●

Do not perform a circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth’s

magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.

●

During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.)

as they may interfere with the calibration.

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control trans-
mitter for more accurate programming.

●

Garage door openers manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling
code protection. If this is the case, you will need a stepladder or other sturdy,
safe device to reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door opener
motor.
