hicle to your Toyota dealer for service.

sumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the
driving range calculation is automatically
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. If fuel consumption is poor, the
driving range will be shorter. 5. Driving time (“TRIP TIME”)
