Compass Setup

[Larry Gordon]

I have the owners manual with my P reg Hilux Surf import - but obviously its in Japanese! I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the direction of instructions to setup the overhead compass. Kind regards, Larry Gordon

Let me know if this is correct, they will only be online for a few days.

Edit: have taken the pictures off as stated, no thanks from Larry so it was a waste of time.

Dear Andy,

Any chance you can send me this information.

I'm debating on the same problem...setting up the compass.

I own a 2001 Hilux Surf 3.4 V6

I would also like to know if you can tell me where can I find the user manual.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,

Pedro Renda

i hope this helps its from the 1995 - 2002 owners hand book.

the compass will show the direction the vehicle is traveling.

the compass may also not give a true reading, when the vehicle is in the following areas; driving under bridges,driving in built up areas , railroad crossings, driving through tunnels, driving near big vehicles, driving over subwayareas, electrical substations, underground car parks.

correcting the compass.

1/ press the compass correction switch to correct mode.

(the compass will flash)

2/ in a safe place drive a full 360 degrees and the compass will automatically reset itself.( a full circle)

if this is not possible because of where you are press the compass corr switch and from the point you are facing reverse at a right angle from your original position then forward at a right angle from that position which should put you opposite from your starting position then reverse at right angles from the last position which should put you opposite to the second position. this sounds complicated but you have only performed a circle by by pulling backward and forward over a much smaller area.

do not try to reset the compass near a power,radio, or television station

should the vehicle battery(s) be disconnected, the compass must be reset again.

hope this helps, soramad
