Operate the accessory meter with the
engine switch on.
When the engine switch is turned to “ON”,
the last previously used mode displayed
just before the engine switch is turned off
will appear.
When the instrument panel lights are
turned on, the brightness of the display
will be reduced.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
SELECTING UNIT
You can select the unit between En-
glish/U.S. customary system and metric
unit.
Vehicles without multi−information dis-
play—
To select unit A (English/U.S. customary
system) or unit B (metric unit), push the
“SETUP US/M” button.
The unit variations are as follows:

Vehicles with multi −information display—
By changing the multi −information display
unit, the outside temperature display on
the accessory meter will change. (See
“Multi −information display” on page 187 in
Section 1 −6 for selecting unit.)
XS10003b
The displayed temperature ranges from
−40 F ( −40 C) up to 122 F (50 C).
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
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 “ON”.
It is normal if it goes out soon.

XS10004e
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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM 34477U)
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
(“INST MPG” or “INST L/100 km”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption at 20 revo-
lutions of the engine.
The displayed value is updated for a short
time.
An accurate figure may not be shown if
the vehicle is driving down a long slope,
and engine brake is applied. (The display
will indicate the extremely low fuel con-
sumption.)
When the vehicle is stopped with the en-
gine running, “ −−, −MPG” will be shown
on the display.
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off. 4. Driving range (“RANGE MI” or
“RANGE km”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time
the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is
consumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel effi-
ciency is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel efficiency is
poor, the driving range will be shorter than
indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.

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.

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.
