For safety and security
Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the 
human body is included in 
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful 
carbon monoxide (CO), which is 
colorless and odorless. Observe 
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause 
exhaust gases enter the vehicle 
and may lead to an accident 
caused by light-headedness, or 
may lead to death or a serious 
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in 
the vehicle even when the back 
door is closed, open the win-
dows and have the vehicle 
inspected at your Toyota dealer 
as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area, 
such as a garage, stop the 
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with 
the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be 
avoided, park the vehicle in an 
open space and ensure that 
exhaust fumes do not enter the 
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running 
in an area with snow build-up, 
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running, 
exhaust gases may collect and 
enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be 
checked periodically. If there is a 
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to 
have the vehicle inspected and 
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Vehicle status information and indicators
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the cor-
rect outside temperature may not 
be displayed, or the display may 
take longer than normal to 
change:
• When stopped, or driving at low 
speeds (less than 16 mph [25 
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
 P. 8 3
■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 using the liquid 
crystal information 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.
