The air conditioning filter information
label is placed on the upper right side
of the glove box as shown and indi-
cates that a filter has been installed.
The air conditioning filter prevents dust
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.
CY72003
The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioning and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance
schedule. In dusty areas or areas with
heavy traffic flow, such as inner city or
desert areas, early replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance
information, please refer to the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide" or Owner ’s Manual
Supplement".)

If it is the just moderately dusty, it may
be cleaned by blowing compressed air
from the reverse surface. Do not wash or
oil the filter.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced.
When setting the filter to the filter case,
ensure that the flat side of the filter is
down and the ribbed side is up.
Position the filter case so that the  ↑UP"
mark is pointing up and install it in the
vehicle.
INFORMATION
The air filter should be installed prop-
erly in position. The use of air condi-
tioning with the air filter removed
may cause deteriorated dustproof per-
formance and then affect air condi-
tioning performance.

To reset the hour: Push the H" button.
To reset the minutes: Push the M" button.
If quick adjustment to a full hour is de-
sired, push the :00" button.
For example, if the :00" button is de-
pressed when the time is between
1:011:29, the time will change to 1:00.
If the time is between 1:301:59, the
time will change to 2:00.

The displayed temperature ranges from
−30C (−22 F) up to 50 C (122 F).
The engine switch must be in the ON"
position.
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
−− C" (−− F") will appear on the display.
If −− C" (−− F") appears on the display,
contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that −− C" (−− F")
appears momentarily when the engine
switch is quickly turned to ON". It is
normal if it goes out soon.

cates the following information.
Every time you push the MODE" but-
ton, the display toggles through this
information.1. Outside temperature
2. Driving range
3. Average fuel consumption

5. Display off
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions. 1. Outside temperature (OUTSIDE
F"
or OUTSIDE C")
The displayed value is updated every 1
second.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−30 C (−22 F) up to 50 C (122 F).

2. Driving range(RANGE MI" or RANGE km")
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches E". It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated about ev-
ery 10 seconds.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset. However, when only a
small amount of fuel is added to the tank,
the display may not be reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further. 3. Average fuel consumption
(AVG. MPG" or AVG. L/100 km")
Average fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on total driving
distance and total fuel consumption
with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated about ev-
ery 10 seconds.
To reset the calculation, push the
RESET" button about 1 second.
4. Average vehicle speed (AVG. MPH" or AVG. km/h")
Average vehicle speed is calculated and
displayed based on total driving dis-
tance and total driving time with the
engine running.
The displayed value is updated about ev-
ery 10 seconds.
To reset the calculation, push the
RESET" button about 1 second.

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The engine switch is turned off immedi-
ately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to CALIBRATING THE COMPASS"
below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS" below.
