The outside temperature display and
cruise information display indicates the
following information.
Every time you push the “INFO” button,
the display toggles through this infor-
mation.
1. Outside temperature
2. Average fuel consumption
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
4. Driving range
5. Display off
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions.
To set the unit, push the “SETUP US/M”
button until the desired unit display ap-
pears.
When the engine switch is on, the last
previously used mode displayed just be-
fore the engine switch is off will appear. 1. Outside temperature (“OUTSIDE
F”
or “OUTSIDE C”)
The outside temperature display indicates
the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
− 40 F ( −40 C) up to 122 F (50 C).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
“ −−− F” (“ −−−C”) will appear on the dis-
play. If “ −−−F” (“ −−−C”) appears on the
display, contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−− F”
(“−−− C”) appears momentarily when the
engine switch is quickly turned to the
“ON” position. It is normal if it goes out
soon.
2. Average fuel consumption (“AVG MPG” or “AVG L/100 km”)
Average fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on total driving
distance and total fuel consumption
with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated about ev-
ery 10 seconds.
To reset the calculation, push the
“SELECT RESET” button about 2 second.

To reset the hour: Push the “H” button.
To reset the minutes: Push the “M” button.
Vehicles with cruise information only—
For quicker adjustment of the clock, hold
down “M” or “H” button continuously. This
allows faster advancement of the minutes
and hours while setting.
The engine switch must be in the “ACC”
or “ON” position.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the clock, the time dis-
play will automatically be set to 1:00 (one
o’clock).
When the instrument panel lights are
turned on, the brightness of the time indi-
cation will be reduced.
Intuitive parking assist
XS10061a
1: Rear sensors
2: Rear corner sensors
3: Front corner sensors
The intuitive parking assist is designed
to inform you of the approximate dis-
tance between your vehicle and an ob-
struction by indicator and buzzer when
parking the vehicle. This system uses
sensors to detect obstructions.
This system works when the engine
switch is in the “ON” position and the
transmission is not in the “P” position.
Rear and rear corner sensors work only
when the transmission is in the “R” posi-
tion.
Front corner sensors works when:
Transmission is in the “R” position.
Transmission is not in the “P” or “R”
position and vehicle speed is approxi-
mate 10 km/h (6 mph) or less.

To turn on: Push the switch.
The indicator comes on and the buzzer
will sound.
To turn off: Push the switch again. In the following cases, the buzzer will
sound several times and the indicator
will stay on to indicate that the system
is not working properly.
When the temperature is extremely low.
When any of the sensors are malfunc-
tion.
If the indicator is continuously on, have
your Toyota dealer check the system.
If the indicator remains blinking but
you do not hear the buzzer sound,
clean the sensors with soft cloth.

This system is designed to inform you of
the approximate distance between your
vehicle and an obstacle by indicator and
buzzer.

How the buzzer sounds when obstacles
are simultaneously detected at the front
and rear of the vehicle.
The buzzer sounds as described below:
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected at the oth-
er end of the vehicle, the buzzer
sounds 7 times intermittently then
sounds continuously and it continues to
sound approximately every 1.5 sec-
onds.
When an obstacle is detected within
approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of the
front corner sensor or approximately
850 mm (33.5 in.) of the rear sensor
(buzzer is sounding continuously) and
another obstacle is detected in the
same way at the other end of the ve-
hicle, the buzzer sounds 3 times inter-
mittently then sounds continuously and
it continues to sound approximately ev-
ery 0.5 seconds.

Perceptible area
A: Approximately 1800 mm (70.9 in.)
B: Approximately 850 mm (33.5 in.)
C: Approximately 600 mm (23.6 in.)
Perceptible area is limited as shown in
the previous illustration. Check the area
around the vehicle before driving and start
driving slowly.
The maximum detection distance of the
sensor varies depending on the size of
the obstacle, the sensor can detect a
large obstacle such as a wall, up to 1800
mm (70.9 in.) away. However, the detec-
tion distance of a thin obstacle such as a
pole is less than 1800 mm (70.9 in.).CAUTION
The intuitive parking assist is in-
tended as an aid to assist you to
park and is not a substitute for
your personal judgment. Make your
driving decisions based on your ob-
servations.
Do not attach accessories or other
objects to the vehicle within the
sensor perceptible area. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunc-
tion, which might result in an acci-
dent.
In certain situations, the system
will not function properly and when
the vehicle approaches certain ob-
jects, the system will not detect
those objects. Therefore, always ob-
serve the area around the vehicle
and do not rely solely on the sys-
tem.

The compass sensor is in the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. Doing this may cause
malfunction of the compass sensor.
XS10007a
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,
then push and hold the “
” switch until
the zone number appears on the display.
Then push the “
” switch, referring to
the following map to select the number of
the zone where the vehicle is.

Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The antilock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.

“ABS” warning light
The light comes on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. If
the anti −lock brake system and the brake
assist system work properly, the light
turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter,
if either of the systems malfunctions, the
light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
following systems do not operate, but the
brake system still operates conventionally.
Anti −lock brake system
Brake assist system
Traction control system
“AUTO LSD” system
Vehicle stability control system
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels will lock up during a
sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
