D The compass does not adjust while the LS10035 LS10036 vehicle is stopped. D The ignition switch is turned off immediately after turning. D The vehicle is on an inclined surface. D The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.). The outside temperature display indicates the outside air temperature. The displayed value is updated. To set the unit, push the "E/M" button until the desired unit display appears. The displayed temperature ranges from - 30_C (- 22_F) up to 50_C (122_F). If an abnormality exists in the connection of the outside air temperature sensor, "- - _C" ("- - _F") will appear on the display. If "- - _C" ("- - _F") appears on the display, contact your Toyota dealer. There may be a case that "- - _C" ("- - _F") appears momentarily when the ignition is quickly turned to "ON". It is normal if it goes out soon. The compass indicates the direction that the vehicle is heading. In the above case, it shows that the vehicle is heading west. The direction display is updated every 2 seconds. Displays N NE E SE S SW W NW Directions North Northeast East Southeast South Southwest West Northwest D The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a magnet or a metal object on or near the roof.) D The battery has been disconnected. If the deviation is small, the compass works to calibrate the direction automatically while the vehicle is in motion. For additional precision or for complete calibrating, see "CALIBRATING THE COMPASS" below. 2005 TACOMA from Mar. '05 Prod. (OM35862U) 227
