The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the “IGON” mode is enabled.
Nearly full–Indicator at “F”
Nearly empty–Indicator at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
When you refuel on a slope, the indicator
may not show the correct level.
When you refuel less than about 11.4 L
(3.0 gal., 2.5 lmp.gal.), the fuel indicator
may not change.
After the 12 volt battery is reconnected,
one segment will flash for a while.Depending on the ambient temperature,
the fuel quantity is less than 45 L (11.9
gal., 9.9 lmp.gal.) even at “F”. However,
this does not affect the fuel consumption
and the remaining fuel ratio indicated on
the gauge. (For details, see “Fuel” on
page 320.)
If the fuel gauge display flashes, there
may be a problem in the system. In this
case, contact your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.

warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on and the message appears on

indicator light may come on earlier than
usual.

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.
