168 2−2. Instrument cluster
nDriving range
Displays the estimated maximum di
stance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining.
lThis distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As
a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that dis−
played.
lWhen only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may
not be updated.
nAverage vehicle speed
Displays the average vehicle speed since the engine was started.
nDriving distance
Displays the driving distance since the engine was started.
nTire inflation pressure (If equipped)
Displays inflation pressure of ea
ch tire. There is no correlation
between the order of the displayed values and the tire positions.
It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may
also take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation
pressure has been adjusted.

When driving
nSystem check display
After switching the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode,
“LAND CRUISER” is displayed while system operation is checked. When the
system check is complete, the normal screen will return.
nTire inflation pressure
Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may
also be different from the values measured using other gauges.
nLiquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem to continue
using the display.
NOTICE
nThe multiinformation 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.

nWhen the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes and a warning buzzer sounds. Always drive
carefully.
Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes and a buzzer sounds.
nReplacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
same size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the speci−
fied tire pressure level.
The Multi Terrain ABS and VSC will not function correctly if different tires are
fitted on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
NOTICE
nKDSS
In the following situations, there is the possibility that a system malfunction
has occurred, and drive comfort and the vehicle’s ability to travel on poor
road surfaces may be reduced. Take the vehicle to your Toyota dealer imme−
diately.
lWhen turning a corner, the vehicle’s body seems to roll further than nor−
mal.
l
If after the vehicle has been left in a slanted position for a long time, for
example with the wheels of one side parked on a curb, the vehicle does
not return to level when driving (the vehicle remains slanted to one side
after returning the vehicle to level ground).

(1000 km) of trailer towing.
