Vehicle status information and indicators
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature may not 
be displayed, or the display may 
take longer than normal to 
change:
• When stopped, or driving at low 
speeds (less than 12 mph [20 
km/h])
• When the outside temperature 
has changed suddenly (at the 
entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, 
etc.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the 
system may be malfunctioning. 
Take your vehicle to your Toyota 
dealer.
■Liquid crystal display

■Customization

tomized in   of the multi-informa-
tion display. ( P.449)■Changing the display
Press the display change button 
until the desired item is dis-
played.
■Display items
 Odometer
Displays the total  distance the vehi-
cle has been driven.
 Trip meter A/Trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle 
has been driven since the meter 
was last reset. Trip meters A and B 
can be used to record and display 
WARNING
■The information display at 
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to 
warm up before u sing the liquid 
crystal informat ion display. At 
extremely low temperatures, the 
information display 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 downshift 
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle 
of the tachometer enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating 
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone 
(H). In this case, immediately 
stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it 
has cooled completely.

or steep grade. If the engine 
coolant temperature gauge 
indicates overheating, imme-
diately turn off the air condi-
tioning (if in use), pull your 
vehicle off the road and stop 
in a safe spot. (P.423)
 Always place wheel blocks 
under both the vehicle’s and 
the trailer’s wheels when 
parking. Put the transmission 
in P and apply the parking 
brake. Avoid parking on a 
slope, but if unavoidable, do 
so only after performing the 
following:
1 Apply the brakes and keep 
them applied.
2 Have someone place wheel 
blocks under both the vehi-
cle’s and trailer’s wheels.
3 When the wheel blocks are in 
place, release the brakes 
slowly until the blocks absorb 
the load.
4 Shift into P and apply the 
parking brake.
5 Turn off the engine.
 When restarting after parking 
on a slope:
1 With the transmission in P, 
start the engine. Be sure to 
keep the brake pedal 
depressed.
2 Shift into a forward gear. If 
reversing, shift into R. 3
If the parking brake is in man-
ual mode, release the park-
ing brake. ( P.172)
4 Release the brake pedal, and 
slowly pull or back away from 
the wheel blocks. Stop and 
apply the brakes.
5 Have someone retrieve the 
blocks.

and drive force is generated. 
When drive force is generated, 
the maintained brake force is 
automatically canceled.
This function operates on flat 
surfaces as well as steep 
inclines.
 Sound may be generated 
from the brake system, but 
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may 
change and vibration may 
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed 
when the engine is stopped by the 
Stop & Start system, the engine 
will not be able to b e restarted by 
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the 
engine using the normal engine 
starting procedure. ( P.162, 163)
●When the engine is being 
restarted by the  Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power  outlets may be 
temporarily unusable, but this 
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Installation and re moval of electri-
cal components and wireless 
devices may affect the Stop & 
Start system. Contact your Toyota 
dealer for details.
●When stopping the vehicle for a 
longer period of time, turn the 
engine switch off to stop the 
engine completely.
■Operating conditions
●The Stop & Start system is opera-
tional when all  of the following 
conditions are met:
• The vehicle has been driven a cer- tain amount of time. • The brake pedal is being 
depressed firmly. (Except when 
the vehicle is stopped by the 
dynamic radar cruis e control with 
full-speed range when in vehi-
cle-to-vehicle d istance control 
mode)
• The D or P shift position is  selected.
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The windshield de fogger is off. 
(vehicles without a manual air 
conditioning system)
• The accelerator pedal is not being 
depressed.
• The engine is adequately warmed  up.
• The hood is closed. ( P.240)
●In the following situations the 
engine may not be stopped by the 
Stop & Start system. This is not a 
malfunction of the Stop & Start 
system.
• When the air conditioning system  is being used.
• When the battery  is undergoing a 
periodic recharge.
• When the battery is not sufficiently 
charged, such as if the vehicle 
has been parked for a long time 
and the battery charge has 
decreased, the electric load is 
large, the battery fluid tempera-
ture is excessively low or the bat-
tery has deteriorated.
*
• When the brake booster vacuum is low.
• When the elapsed time since the  engine was restarted is short.
• When the vehicle is stopped fre- quently, such as when in a traffic 
jam.
• When the engine coolant tem- perature or transm ission fluid tem-
perature is extremely low or high.
• When the vehicle  is stopped on a 
steep incline.
• When the vehicle is being driven 
in a high altitude area.
• When the battery fluid tempera- ture is extremely low or high.
• For a while after the battery termi-

Driving
4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate 
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician 
inspect the condition of the 
battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with 
four snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same 
size and brand.
Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any 
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary 
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the 
vehicle in winter. Always 
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a 
loss of vehicle control and cause 
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended 
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 
mph (120 km/h), regardless of 
the type of snow tires being 
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just 
some wheels.
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains 
may damage the vehicle body 
and suspension, and adversely 
affect driving performance.
■Repairing or replacing snow 
tires
Request repairs or replacement of 
snow tires from Toyota dealers or 
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and 
attachment of snow tires affects 
the operation of the tire pressure 
warning valves and transmitters.
