WARNING

■

If a safety system warning

light does not come on

Should a safety system light such

as the ABS and SRS warning

lights not come on when you start

the engine, this could mean that

these systems are not available to

help protect you in an accident,

which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota dealer

immediately if this occurs.

The engine switch is in ON.

■

Outside temperature display

●

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.

■

Liquid crystal display

Small spots or light spots may

appear on the display. This phenom-

enon is characteristic of liquid crys-

tal displays, and there is no problem

continuing to use the display.

■

Customization

The meters can be customized on

of the multi-information display.

(

P.91, 101)

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

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 downshift

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly

an accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle

of the tachometer enter the red

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.
