WARNING

■

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

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 shift range appearing on

the display. This lag could cause

the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive

engine braking and possibly an

accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

The engine may be overheating if

the engine coolant temperature

gauge is in the red zone (“H”). In

this case, immediately stop the

vehicle in a safe place, and check

the engine after it has cooled

completely. (

differ from that displayed.

●

When only a small amount of fuel

is added to the tank, the display

may not be updated. When refuel-

ing, turn the power switch off. If

the vehicle is refueled without

turning the power switch off, the

display may not be updated.

●

When “Refuel” is displayed, the

remaining fuel amount is low and

the distance that can be driven

with the remaining fuel cannot be

calculated. Refuel immediately.

■

Manually updating the fuel

gauge and possible driving

range

The fuel gauge and the possible

driving range are linked. If the dis-

plays of the fuel gauge and possible

driving range do not update after

adding a small amount of fuel, the

displays can be updated by per-

forming the following procedure.

Stop the vehicle on a level sur-

face.

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to

change the odometer and trip

meter display to odometer.

Turn the power switch off.

While pressing and holding the

“ODO TRIP” switch, turn the

power switch to ON.

Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”

switch for approximately 5 sec-

onds, and then release it once

the odometer begins flashing.

Updating is complete once the

odometer flashes for approximately

5 seconds and then the display

returns to normal.

■

Outside temperature display

●

Displays the outside temperature

within the range of -40°F (-40°C)

to 122°F (50°C).

●

When the outside temperature is
approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator

will flash

for approximately 10 seconds,

then stay on.

●

In the following situations, the cor-

rect outside temperature may not

be displayed, or the display may

take longer than normal to

change:

• When stopped, or driving at low

speeds (less than 12 mph [20

km/h])

• When the outside temperature

has changed suddenly (at the

entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel,

etc.)

●

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the

system may be malfunctioning.

Take your vehicle to your Toyota

dealer.
