■
The meters illuminate when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
■
The brightness of the instrument panel lights (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display)
The instrument panel brightness levels when the tail lights are on and off can
be adjusted individually. (on vehicles with multi-information display type A,
only the meter panel brightness can be adjusted)
When the headlight switch is turned to on, the brightness will be reduced
slightly unless the instrument panel brightness level is set to the brightest set-
ting.
■
When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The trip meter data will be reset.
■ Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
● When the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h
[12 mph])
●
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 your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ The information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display type B)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For vehicles with automatic transmission: 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 possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
