Low engine coolant
temperature indicator
light in blue High engine
coolant
temperature
warning light
in red
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 (red) will come on when the igni-
tion 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 (blue)
comes on. If it keeps lighting on with the
engine fully warmed, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible to service the
vehicle.If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) 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.
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
vehicle overheats” on page 177 in
Section 4.
Tachometer
SH15003b
The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and over revving.
Driving with the engine running too fast
causes excessive engine wear and poor
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases
the slower the engine speed, the greater
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator get segment
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

Odometer and two trip meters
SU15003
Ty p e A
SH15006
Ty p e B
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance
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.
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.
3. Trip meter reset knob—It can reset the
two trip meters to zero, and also
change the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the button/knob. The
meter display changes in the order
from the odometer to trip meter A to
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.
: By pressing the button, the ex-
tinction system is canceled. (bright ⇔
