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.

■ Distance to empty

Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with

the quantity of fuel remaining.

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

a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that dis-

played.

• 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 with-

out turning the engine switch off, the display may not be updated.

■ Digital speedometer

Displays the current vehicle speed.

■ Average fuel economy

Displays the average fuel consumption since the function was

reset.

• The function can be reset by pressing and holding the “DISP” button

when the average fuel consumption is displayed.

• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.

■ Current fuel economy

Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.

■ Sway warning (if equipped)

Detects the sway of the vehicle within a lane, which is often associ-

ated with a decrease in the driver’s attention level, and displays the

decrease in attention using a segment display.

The fewer segments lit, the more the driver may need to rest.

This display is a part of the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering

control) system. The display is enabled when the operating conditions

of the vehicle sway warning are met. (→P. 211)

■ Turn-by-turn navigation (vehicles with a navigation system)

■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 death or injury.

■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.
