Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 342 in
Section 4.
The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast
causes excessive engine wear and poor
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases
the slower the engine speed, the greater
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

1. Outside temperature
(“OUTSIDE TEMP”)
The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−40C (−40F) up to 50C (122F).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor, “−−”
or “E” will appear on the display. If “−−”
or “E” appears on the display, contact
your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−” appears
momentarily when the ignition switch is
quickly set to ON. It is normal if it goes
out soon.
2. Driving range
(“CRUISING 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 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 every 1
second while driving.If the fuel gauge malfunctions, the mileage
figure will not appear.
When the vehicle is refueled, the driving
range is recalculated.
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
(“TANK AVG”)
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 every 10
seconds.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the dis-
played value is reset.4. Driving distance
(“SINCE START”)
The driving distance after the engine
starts is displayed.
Every time you start the engine, the driv-
ing distance display is reset.
5. 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.
6. Cruise information off
The display indicates only odometer and
two trip meters.
7. Zoom display of odometer and trip
meter
The odometer and one of the trip meters
are displayed simultaneously. See
