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.

WARNING

■Caution for use while driving

For safety, avoid operating the meter control switches while driving as much

as possible, and do not look continuously at the multi-information display

while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switches. Fail-

ure to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an

unexpected accident.

■Cautions while 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.

■The multi-information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the multi-informa-

tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the multi-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 serious injury.

NOTICE

■While setting up the display

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

up the display features.
