70GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show two different
distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All
trip meter data is cancelled if the elec-
trical power source is disconnected.
3. Trip meter reset knob—Resets the two
trip meters to zero, and also change
the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the knob. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the knob until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.The oil maintenance management sys-
tem (OMMS) is designed to inform you,
by means of a light, of the time to
change the engine oil and oil filter.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE
Change the engine oil and oil filter in
either of the following cases:
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light is lit.
DWhen the system is repaired.
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if two
years have passed since the engine
oil was changed.
DWhen the engine oil change reminder
light does not come on even if you
have driven over 30000 km (18000
miles) since the engine oil was
changed.
The lighting timing will change according
to the driving condition.
Because engine oil deteriorates over
time, there are cases when it is neces-
sary to change the engine oil before
the engine oil change reminder light
comes on. In these cases, change the
engine oil and oil filter according to the
maintenance schedule. (For engine oil
maintenance intervals, see the separate
“Toyota Service Booklet” or “Toyota
Warranty Booklet”.)

While driving on steep inclines or rough
roads which causes the vehicle to sub-
stantially sway or on curves, this light
may come on due to the movement of
engine oil in the engine.
In normal conditions, due to engine oil
consumption, this light may come on earli-
er than the specified service interval of
the scheduled maintenance. This is be-
cause the engine oil is consumed to the
low level within the scheduled mainte-
nance interval and does not indicate a
problem. (For detailed information, see
“Facts about engine oil consumption” on
page 123 in Section 2.)
NOTICE
Continued engine operation with low
engine oil will damage the engine.
(e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. On some models: The fuel tank is
completely empty. (See “Fuel gauge”
on page 68 in this Section for instruc-
tions.)
b. There is a problem somewhere in the
engine electricalsystem, electronic en-
gine control system orengine emission
control system.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case b, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic engine controlsystem. Stop the ve-
hicle and contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, or take
your vehicle carefully, since the vehicle
performance will be lower than normal, to
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible.
Even if the abnormality in the electronic
engine controlsystem is corrected during
low speed driving, thesystem may not
recover until the engine is stopped and
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position.
The lamp flashes when the engine emis-
sion control system is not functioning cor-
rectly. If the engine is run for more than
50 hours with the lamp flashing, the sys-
tem will automatically reduce engine per-
formance until the malfunction is cor-
rected.
(f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS185
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified
technicians. Even if you’re an experienced
do−it−yourself mechanic, we recommend
that repairs and maintenance be con-
ducted by an authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer will keep a
record of maintenance, which could be
useful should you ever require Warranty
Service. Should you choose to select a
qualified and equipped professional other
than an authorized Toyota repairer to
service or maintain your vehicle, we
recommend that you request that a record
of maintenance be kept.
The service interval for scheduled main-
tenance is determined by the odometer
reading or time interval, whichever
comes first, shown in the schedule.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater
system, brake system and fuel system)
should be inspected by a qualified tech-
nician in accordance with the Toyota
maintenance schedule.
They are particularly important mainte-
nance items. Have any deteriorated or
damaged hoses replaced immediately.
Note that rubber hoses will deteriorate
with age, resulting in swelling, chafing or
cracks.Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip−offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:
DEngine missing, stumbling, or pinging
DAppreciable loss of power
DStrange engine noises
DA leak under the vehicle (However, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)
DChange in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaustsystem checked im-
mediately.)
DFlat−looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear
DVehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road
DStrange noises related to suspension
movement
DLoss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal al-
most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one
side when braking
DEngine coolant temperature continually
higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your
vehicle to any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible. It probably needs adjustment or re-
pair.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving with the ve-
hicle unchecked. It could result in se-
rious vehicle damage and possibly se-
rious injury.
