Fuel gauge
SU15001
The gauge works when the ignition
switch is on and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
Nearly fullNeedle at "F"
Nearly emptyNeedle at "E"
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
This fuel gauge has a non−return type
needle which remains at the last indicated
position when the ignition switch is turned
off.
If the fuel level approaches "E" or the low
fuel level warning light flashes, fill the fuel
tank as soon as possible.On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge
needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.

High engine coolant temperature
warning light in red
Low engine coolant temperature
indicator light in blue
The indicator and warning lights indi-
cate the engine coolant temperature
when the ignition switch is on. The en-
gine operating temperature will vary
with changes in weather and engine
load.
The high engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
If your engine coolant temperature is cool
with the ignition switch on, the low engine
coolant temperature indicator light comes
on. If it keeps lighting on with the engine
fully warmed, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible to service the ve-
hicle.

If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light flashes, your engine is too
hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your
vehicle and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
Towing a trailer
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
 Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See "If your ve-
hicle overheats" in Section 4.
Odometer and two trip meters
SU15003
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. OdometerIt shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip metersThey show two differ- ent 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.
