The multi- information display indicates
the following information.
1. Outside temperature
2. Average vehicle speed
3. Average fuel consumption
4. Instantaneous fuel consumption
5. Driving time
6. Air conditioning system onÐThe air
conditioned temperature is displayed.
Air conditioning system offÐThe air
conditioned temperature is not dis-
played.
Every time you push the INFOº button,
the display toggles through this informa-
tion.
The displayed values in the multi- informa-
tion display indicate general driving condi-
tions. Accuracy varies with driving habits
and road conditions.
You can adjust the air conditioned temper-
ature while the multi- information is operat-
ing. 5 seconds has been passed after ad-
justing the temperature or pushing the
INFOº button, the display will be back to
the multi- information display.1. Outside temperature
(OUTSIDE TEMPº)
The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
-22F (- 30C) up to 122F (50C).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
- -Fº (- -Cº) will appear on the display.
If - -Fº (- -Cº) appears on the display,
contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that - -Fº (- -Cº)
appears momentarily when the ignition is
quickly turned to ONº. It is normal if it
goes out soon.
2. Average vehicle speed
(AVG MPHº or AVG km/hº)
Average vehicle speed is calculated and
displayed based on total driving dis-
tance and total driving time with the
engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10
seconds.
To reset the calculation, push the INFOº
button for more than 1 second.

3. Average fuel consumption
(AVG MPGº or AVG L/100 kmº)
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.
4. Instantaneous fuel consumption
(MPGº or L/100 kmº)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption for 1 sec-
onds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2
seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be
shown in the following cases.
The vehicle is stopped with the engine
running. (The display will indicate the
extremely high fuel consumption.)
The vehicle is driving down a long
slope applying the engine brake. (The
display will indicate the extremely low
fuel consumption.)
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off.5. Driving time (E/Tº)
The elapsed time after the engine starts
is displayed.
When the engine is started, driving time
is counted from 0:00. Up to 11:59 (11
hours, 59 minutes) can be displayed.
When the driving time exceeds 11:59, the
counter returns to 0:00.
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off.
To reset the hour: Push the Hº button.
To reset the minutes: Push the Mº button.
The key must be in the ACCº or ONº
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).

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth's magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to CALIBRATING THE COMPASSº
below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see CALIBRATING THE
COMPASSº below.

Compass sensor
The compass sensor is in the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. Doing this may cause
malfunction of the compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth's magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,
then push and hold the COMPº switch
until the zone number appears on the dis-
play. Then push the COMPº switch, refer-
ring to the following map to select the
number of the zone where the vehicle is.
