operate a couple of times after the washer
squirts.
For instructions on adding washer fluid,

In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.
This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.

The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the “IGON” mode is enabled.
Nearly full–Indicator at “F”
Nearly empty–Indicator at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
When you refuel on a slope, the indicator
may not show the correct level.
When you refuel less than about 11.4 L
(3.0 gal., 2.5 lmp. gal.), the fuel indicator
may not change.
After the auxiliary battery is reconnected,
one segment will flash for a while.Depending on the ambient temperature,
the fuel quantity is less than 45 L (11.9
gal., 9.9 lmp. gal.) even at “F”. However,
this does not affect the fuel consumption
and the remaining fuel ratio indicated on
the gauge. (For details, see “Fuel” on
page 202.)
If the fuel gauge display flashes, there
may be a problem in the system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.

At the first blinking of the light, the master
warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on and the message appears on
the multi−information display to remind the
driver to fill fuel.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
indicator light may come on earlier than
usual.
24p004e
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show two different distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All
trip meter data is cancelled if the elec-
trical power source is disconnected.
3. Trip meter reset button—Resets the two trip meters to zero, and also
change the meter display. To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the button. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the button until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.
