â– The meters and display illuminate when

The engine switch is in ON.

â– Distance to empty

• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption.

  As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.

• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated. When refueling, turn the engine switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning the engine 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.

â– Manually updating the fuel gauge and possible driving range

The fuel gauge and the possible driving range are linked. If the displays of the fuel gauge and possible driving range do not update after adding a small amount of fuel, the displays can be updated by performing the following procedure.

1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Press the "ODO TRIP" switch to change the odometer and trip meter display to odometer.

3. Turn the engine switch off.

4. While pressing and holding the "ODO TRIP" switch, turn the engine switch to ON.

5. Continue to hold the "ODO TRIP" switch for approximately 5 seconds, 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.

â– Outside temperature display

• Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40ºF (-40ºC) to 122ºF (50ºC).
• When the outside temperature is approximately 37ºF (3ºC) or lower, the indicator will flash
  for approximately 10 seconds, then stay on.
• In the following situations, the correct 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.

â– Free/Open Source Software Information

This product contains Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). The license information and/or the source code of such FOSS can be found at the following URL.

â– Customization

The gauges and meters can be customized on of the multi-information
display.

WARNING

â– 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 excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.

NOTICE

â– 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 place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.

Odometer and trip meter display

â–  Display items

• Odometer

Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
