Tire inflation pressure (if equipped)
It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few
minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has
been adjusted.
“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined
due to unfavorable radio wave conditions.
Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
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.
Customization
Setting of available languages can be changed. (Customizable features P.
857)
CAUTION
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 dis-
play 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.
