Brightness of the meters (day mode and night mode)

l

The brightness of the meters are changed between day mode and night
mode.

• Day mode: When the tail lights are off or when the tail lights are on but

the surrounding area is bright

• Night mode: When the tail lights are on and the surrounding area is dark

l

When in night mode, the brightness will be reduced slightly unless the
meters are set to the maximum brightness level.

n

Suspension of the settings display

l

While driving, the multi-information display cannot be changed to setting
mode. Before changing the settings, stop the vehicle in a safe place.

l

In the following situations, operation of some of the settings display may be
temporarily suspended.

• When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
• When the vehicle begins to move

n

When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The drive information data will be reset.

n

Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display. 

WARNING

n

Caution for use while driving

l

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

l

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the
vehicle.

n

The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.

n

Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

WARNING

n

When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

l

Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
have heat exhaustion or other injuries.

l

Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.

n

Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.

l

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.

l

When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe. 

l

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.

l

Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

l

The back door may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the back door on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the back door unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage com-
partment.

not hang on the back door damper stay. 
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it
may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands,
head or neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part
to the back door, using a genuine Scion part is recommended.

NOTICE

n
