The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The displayed value is updated every 1
second.
The displayed temperature ranges from
− 30 C ( −22 F) up to 50 C (122 F).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
“ −− C” (“ −−F”) will appear on the display.
If “ −−C” (“ −−F”) appears on the display,
contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−− C” (“ −−F”)
appears momentarily when the ignition is
quickly turned to “ON”. It is normal if it
goes out soon.
2. Average fuel consumption (“AVG”)

and displayed based on total driving
distance and total fuel consumption
with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 1
seconds.
To reset the calculations, return the mode
to “AVG” and push and hold the “MODE”
and “E/M” button simultaneously for 2 sec-
onds. 3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
(“INST”)

calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption for 1 sec-
onds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 1
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. 4. Distance to empty (“DTE”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The displayed value is updated every 1
second. Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is 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 than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.

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.

(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 roof.)
The battery has been disconnected.
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
COMPASS” below. If the direction is not indicated or the
system does not operate pr
operly, contact
