The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast
causes excessive engine wear and poor
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases
the slower the engine speed, the greater
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

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. 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
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
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.

Feature customization
During ordinary driving, cruise information
is displayed. However, in case the vehicle
has a system malfunction or if there is
some information that the driver should be
informed of, a warning message appears
on the display. See “—Warning messages”
on page 193 for details.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the cruise information
display, the display will automatically be
set to the initial mode.
When the instrument panel lights are
turned on, the brightness of the display
will be reduced.
At extremely low temperatures, the multi −
information display may respond slowly,
and the display changes may be delayed.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

1. Zoom display of odometer and trip
meter
The odometer and one of the trip meters
are displayed simultaneously. See
“—Odometer and two trip meters”.
2. Average fuel consumption (“Average Fuel Economy”)
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 every 10
seconds.
To reset the calculations, push and hold
the “SELECT RESET” button for more
than 2 seconds.
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption (“Current Fuel Economy”)
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.) The display indicates 0 when the vehicle
is stopped with the engine running.
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off.
4. Driving range (“Distance To Empty”)
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. However, when only a
small amount of fuel is added to the tank,
the display may not be reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
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.
5. Driving time (“Trip Timer”)
To calculate the driving time, display
the “Trip Timer” after the engine has
been started. Then press the “SELECT
RESET” button. To stop the calculation,
press the “SELECT RESET” button
again.
Driving time is counted from 0:00:00. Up
to 99:59:59 (99 hours, 59 minutes and 59
seconds) can be displayed. When the driv-
ing time exceeds 99:59:59, the counter
returns to 0:00:00.
If the engine switch is turned off while the
driving time is being calculated, the cal-
culation will cease. When the engine is
next started, it will automatically resume
from the previous value.
If the “SELECT RESET” button is pressed
to cease the calculation and then the en-
gine switch is turned off, the calculation
will not resume when the engine is next
started. In this case, press the “SELECT
RESET” button to start the calculation.
To reset the calculation, push and hold
the “SELECT RESET” button for more
than 2 seconds.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM 34477U)
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace it as soon as possible.
The system must be reset after the
engine oil replacement. Reset the system
by the following procedure:
1. Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position with the trip meter A reading
shown. (For details, see “Odometer and
two trip meters” on page 186 in this
Section.)
2. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position while holding down the trip
meter reset knob.
Hold down the knob for at least 5
seconds. The trip meter A indicates
“000000” and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
continue flashing.
(h) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual. (i) “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.
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position, or remains on.
The light comes on while you are dri-
ving.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the brake system warn-
ing light, immediately stop your ve-
hicle at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
