COMBINATION METER
1. General

The combination meter is available as a digital display type. It is located at the upper center of the instru-
ment panel to improve its visibility.

For this combination meter, a meter ECU that effects multiplex communication through the use of BEAN
(Body Electronics Area Network) has been adopted.

The display of the speedometer can be switched between km / h and MPH readings by operating the km / h-
MPH selector switch located in the middle of the center cluster. Furthermore, the odo / trip meter can be
switched between odometer and tripmeter readings by operating the odo / trip selector / reset switch located
in the middle of the center cluster.

A ªREADYº light that informs the driver that the vehicle is ready to be driven has been adopted.

A master warning light that informs the driver if an abnormality occurs in either the EMPS (Electric Motor-
assisted Power Steering), HV batteries, or the THS (TOYOTA Hybrid System) has been adopted.

An output control warning light has been adopted to show the drop of power function due to the output
drop of HV batteries.

For the purpose of making corrections in the calculation of the fuel level by the meter ECU, two inclination
sensors that detect the vehicle's longitudinal and latitudinal inclinations have been provided in the meter
ECU. In addition, an outer ambient temperature sensor has been provided in the fuel tank to detect the
temperature in the fuel tank.

2. Construction and Operation
Speedometer

The speedometer is displayed digitally
through the VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play). It can be switched between the km / h
and MPH readings by operating the km / h-
MPH selector switch located in the middle of
the center cluster.

The vehicle speed signal, which originates at
the speed sensor that is installed in the hybrid
transaxle, travels via the HV ECU and ECM
(BEAN) and is received by the meter ECU.
Odo / Trip Meter
Similar to the speedometer, the odo / trip meter is
displayed digitally through the VFD (Vacuum
Fluorescent Display). By operating the odo / trip
selector / reset switch located in the middle of the
center cluster, its display can be switched in the
following sequence: odometer
trip meter A

trip meter B.
While trip meter A or B is displayed, pressing the
odo / trip selector / reset switch 0.8 seconds or
longer causes the driven distance displayed by
the current trip mode to revert to 0.0 mile or 0.0
km.
The trip meter will resume measuring the dis-
tance at the moment the odo / trip selector / reset
switch is released.

1. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
In troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately and all preconceptions must be
cleared away in order to give an accurate judgment. To ascertain just what the problem symptoms are, it is
extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time it occurred.
Important Point in the Problem Analysis:
The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis. Past problems which are thought to be
unrelated and the repair history, etc. may also help in some cases, so as much information as possible should
be gathered and its relationship with the problem symptoms should be correctly ascertained for reference
in troubleshooting. A customer problem analysis table is provided in Diagnostics section for each system
for your use.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner's responsibility.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.

Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES

Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.

Failure to do even one item an cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge. If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner's manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean. If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors including the trunk lid operate smoothly, and that all latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch

2. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER ON±VEHICLE
Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allow-
able indication error and check the operation of the odometer.
HINT:
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indica-
tion error.
If error is excessive, replace the speedometer.
