The cruise information display indicates
the following information.1. Instantaneous fuel consumption
2. Average fuel consumption after refuel- ing
3. Average vehicle speed
4. Driving range
5. Driving time
Every time you push the “DISPLAY” but-
ton, the display toggles through this infor-
mation.
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected, the display will automatically
be set to instantaneous fuel consumption.
To set the unit, push the “MODE” button
until the unit display appears and blinks.
Then push the “RESET/ADJ” button to se-
lect km/liter or mile/gallon. (At this time,
the outside temperature and air condition-
ing displays also change.)
After setting the unit, push the “MODE”
button until the display returns to normal
calendar mode. 1. Instantaneous fuel consumption
(“INST ECON”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on driv-
ing distance and fuel consumption for
2 seconds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2
seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be
shown in the following cases.
When the vehicle is stopped with the
engine running, the display will indicate
the extremely high fuel consumption.
When the vehicle is driving down a
long slope, applying the engine brake,
the display will indicate the extremely
low fuel consumption.
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off. 2. Average fuel consumption after re-
fueling
(“AVG ECON”)
Average fuel consumption after refuel-
ing is calculated and displayed based
on total driving distance and total fuel
consumption with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10
seconds.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the av-
erage fuel consumption after refueling
(“AVG ECON”) calculation is automatically
reset. 3. Average vehicle speed (“AVG SPEED”)
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 every 10
seconds.
To reset the calculations, push the
“RESET/ADJ” button.
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off.

4. Driving range(“FUEL RANGE”)
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 displayed value is updated every time
when the fuel equivalent for 1 km is con-
sumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the
driving range calculation is automatically
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. If fuel consumption is poor, the
driving range will be shorter. 5. Driving time (“TRIP TIME”)
The elapsed time after the engine starts
is displayed.
When the engine is started, driving time
is counted from 0:00. Up to 99:59 (99
hours, 59 minutes) can be displayed.
When the driving time exceeds 99:59, the
counter returns to 0:00. To reset the calculations, push the
“RESET/ADJ” button.
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off.
The compass indicates the direction
that the vehicle is heading. In the
above case, it shows that the vehicle is
heading south.

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 ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately 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 roof.)
The battery has been disconnected.
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.
Compass sensor
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the roof of the vehicle.
Doing this may cause malfunction of
the compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve-
hicle and push the “MODE” button several
times until “ZONE XX” appears on the
calendar display. Then push the “RESET/
ADJ” button, referring to the following map
to select the number of the zone where
the vehicle is.

After calibration, push the “MODE” button
several times until the calendar display
returns to the normal mode.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling
calibration)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. To
rectify this, stop the vehicle and push the
“MODE” button several times until
“COMPASS” appears and blinks on the
display. Then push the “RESET/ADJ” but-
ton. “CALIBRATE” appears and blinks to-
gether with the compass display.Drive the vehicle in a circle until the blink-
ing stops. If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the block
until the blinking stops.
When the compass and the calendar dis-
play return to normal mode, calibration is
complete.
If you want to cancel the calibration be-
fore it is complete, push the “MODE” but-
ton again.Perform circling calibration just after
you have purchased your Toyota. And
then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, re-
placed or disconnected.
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass 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.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with
the calibration.
CAUTION
When doing the circling calibration,
be sure to secure a wide space,
and watch out for people and ve-
hicles in the neighborhood. Do not
violate any local traffic rules while
performing circling calibration.
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
