two trip meters.

the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Shows two different
distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.

the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All

trical power source is disconnected.

two trip meters to zero, and also
change the meter display.

push and release the button/knob. The
meter display changes in the order

trip meter B, then back to the odome-
ter each time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the button/knob until the me-
ter is set to zero. The same process
can be applied for resetting the trip
meter B.4. Type B reduces the light automatically
when you turn on the tail/headlight.

tinction system is canceled. (bright ⇔

(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
This light and buzzer remind you to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or

and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless
the front passenger fastens the belt, the
light keeps flashing.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built−in sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to keep flashing.
(d) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the battery is being
discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The engine ignition will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the battery is dis-
charged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.

drive belt is broken or loose.
