WARNING

 If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light 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 serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-

ately if this occurs.

 Outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-

played, 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 phenomenon is

characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to

use the display.

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 down-

shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an

accident resulting in personal death or injury.

91

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 maximum engine speed.

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

 Voltmeter

When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine

is running, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the

vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.

2

 Engine oil pressure gauge

When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is

running, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount

When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not

decreased, or if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is

added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubri-

cation system.

WARNING

 Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra

attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

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.

 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.

NOTICE

 During setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting

up the display features.
