Title:
INITIAL CALIBRATION OF COMPASS DURING PDS

Models:
'06 IS 250 & IS 350

Introduction

The compass indicates the direction that the vehicle is heading by detecting the direction and strength of the Earth's magnetic field and processing this data using the compass sensor and microcomputer.

Detection of the direction and strength of the Earth's magnetic field varies according to the area in which the vehicle is used and is affected by the residual magnetism of the vehicle. For this reason, the geographic direction displayed may also deviate from the direction determined by the Earth's magnetic field according to the area in which the vehicle is used.





Perform the initial calibration of the compass in your dealership prior to delivery to customers.

Applicable Vehicles
^ 2006 model year IS 250 and IS 350 vehicles.
