• When the outside temperature has
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
●When “--” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Fuel gauge and driving range dis-play
The fuel gauge and driving range dis- play are linked. If the fuel gauge and driving range display do not update after
refueling a small amount, they can be updated by performing the following pro-cedure:
1 Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Wait until the fuel in the fuel tank stabi- lizes.
2 Press the display change button to change the odometer and trip meter
display to the odometer.
3 Turn the power switch off.
4 While pressing and holding the dis- play change button, turn the power switch to ON.
5 Continue holding the display change
button for approximately 5 seconds.
Release the button when the odometer begins blinking.
Updating will be complete when the odometer blinks for approximately 5 seconds and then returns to the normal
display.

 P. 1 0 6
■Customization
The gauges and meters can be custom-
ized in of the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.498)
■Changing the display
Press the display change button
until the desired item is displayed.
WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-tal information display. At extremely
low temperatures, the information dis- play monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and
excessive engine braking and possi- bly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it
has cooled completely. ( P.481)

4-6. Driving tips
Driving
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
 Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the 12-
volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size
and brand, and that chains match the
size of the tires.
Perform the following according to
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepa-
rations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter.
Always drive the vehicle in a
manner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains
being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer or legitimate tire retailers.This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects the operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

6-2. Maintenance
Maintenance and care
request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-ever, water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monox- ide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one
side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu- ally higher than normal ( P.100, 95)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.

become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■When working on the engine compartment
●Make sure that the “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION ON” on the multi-information display and the
“READY” indicator are both off.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the engine, power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other flu-ids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or 12- volt battery. Fuel and 12-volt battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-ing on the 12-volt battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is OFF.
With the power switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on
and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P.393)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil- ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill- ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
