This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.1. Odometer—It 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

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.

REPLACING TIRES AND WHEELS
When replacing the tires and wheels, be
sure to install tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters
are registered in the tire pressure warning
computer. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is neces-
sary to register the ID code of tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter. Have
the ID code registered by your Toyota
dealer.
If the ID code is not registered, the sys-
tem will not work properly. After driving
for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light comes on after blinking for
1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters must be
replaced, have them replaced by your
Toyota dealer. The tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters will be
affected by the installation or removal
of tires.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET
SWITCH
When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.
When changing the tire size.To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (See “Tires” on page
553 in Section 8.)
3. Turn the engine switch is in “ON” posi- tion.
4. Push and hold the tire pressure warn- ing reset switch until the tire pressure
warning light blinks slowly three times.
5. Wait for several minutes with the en- gine switch “ON”, and then turn the
engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position.
If you push the tire pressure warning re-
set switch while the vehicle is moving,
initialization is not performed.
If you push the tire pressure warning re-
set switch accidentally and initialization is
performed, adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level and initialize
the system again.

Under certain circumstances, the vehicle−
to −vehicle distance control mode is tempo-
rarily cancelled:
When vehicle speed falls below 40
km/h (25 mph)
When vehicle stability control is acti-
vated
The “READY” indicator light comes on to
indicate that the system is still in opera-
tion.
To turn the system off, press the “ON −
OFF” button. Make sure the “CRUISE” in-
dicator light is off.
If one of the warning codes “E1”, “E2” or
“E3” appears on the display, the preset
speed automatically cancels out. See
“VEHICLE −TO −VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING” on
page 236.
If the vehicle −to −vehicle distance control
mode automatically cancels out other than
for the above cases, have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer at the ear-
liest opportunity. RESUMING THE VEHICLETOVEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
If the vehicle
−to −vehicle distance control
mode is temporarily cancelled, the cruising
speed and vehicle −to −vehicle distance can
be resumed by pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25
mph).
During follow −up cruising, if there are no
vehicles ahead because they have
changed lanes, your vehicle will accelerate
gradually up to the preset speed. At this
time, pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction will quickly speed up your ve-
hicle in vehicle −to −vehicle distance control
mode. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. The displayed speed will in-
crease in increments of 5 mph (for the
U.S.A.) or 5 km/h (for Canada). Release
the lever when the desired speed is attai-
ned. The vehicle speed will gradually in-
crease to the display speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
CAUTION
When the vehicletovehicle distance
control is on, your cruising speed is
regulated in proportion to the speed
of the vehicle ahead, so increasing
the preset speed using the control
lever does not accelerate the vehicle.
However, if the vehicle ahead leaves
the lane, your cruising speed will in-
crease to the preset speed because
the preset speed has been set higher
using the control lever. Confirm the
setting on the display.

2008 SIENNA from Aug. ’08 Prod. (OM45455U)
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-
tion and hold it. The displayed speed will
decrease in increments of 5 mph (for the
U.S.A.) or 5 km/h (for Canada). Release
the lever when the desired speed is attai-
ned. The vehicle speed will gradually de-
crease to the display speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
If the control lever is released when the
vehicle speed exceeds the upper limit of
the preset speed traveling downhill while
you are pushing the lever down, the sys-
tem will memorize the upper limit of the
preset speed as a preset speed.
Even if you downshift from “D” to “4” in
the vehicle −to −vehicle distance control
mode, engine braking will not be enabled
because this mode is not cancelled. To
decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a
slower speed with the cruise control lever
or depress the brake pedal. If you use the
brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled.CHANGING VEHICLETOVEHICLE
DISTANCE
You can select one of the following ve-
hicle− to−vehicle distances.
1. LONG
2. MIDDLE
3. SHORT
Each time you pull the distance switch
briefly toward you, the setting changes
from LONG to MIDDLE to SHORT and
then back to LONG. You can confirm the
setting on the display.
Your vehicle speed changes in proportion
to the speed of the vehicle ahead, main-
taining the selected distance. However, if
the vehicle ahead is slower, the selected
distance will be shorter than the desig-
nated distance.
When the vehicle −to −vehicle distance con-
trol mode is activated or the “READY”
indicator comes on, the vehicle −to −vehicle
distance setting can be changed.
The vehicle −to −vehicle distance is always
set to LONG when the engine switch is
turned on.
