2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise,
then pause slightly before removing
it.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened.3. The removed cap can be stored on
the back side of the fuel filler door.
When installing the cap, turn the cap
clockwise until you hear a click. When
you hear the click, the cap is fully closed.
If the cap is not installed securely, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It is designed
to regulate fuel tank pressure.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the cap, apply
force only in the turning direction to
the cap. Do not pull or pry it.

The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the ignition switch is on.
Nearly full—Needle at “F”
Nearly empty—Needle at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the
fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge
needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle moves into the red zone,
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.
Towing a trailer.
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 ve-
hicle overheats” on page 342 in
Section 4.
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 needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters when the ignition
switch is on.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show 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—Resets the two
trip meters to zero, and also change
the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the knob. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the knob until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.The displayed temperature ranges from
−40C (−40F) up to 50C (122F).
The ignition switch must be set at ON.
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor, “−−”
or “E” will appear on the display. If “−−”
or “E” appears on the display, contact
your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−” appears
momentarily when the ignition switch is
quickly set to ON. It is normal if it goes
out soon.

Each time you push the “DISP” button,
the display toggles through the follow-
ing information.
1. Outside temperature
2. Driving range
3. Average fuel consumption
4. Driving distance
5. Average vehicle speed
6. Cruise information off
7. Zoom display of odometer and trip me-
ter
The display will return to the outside tem-
perature display with pushing and holding
the “DISP” button for 1 second.
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions.
When the ignition switch is on, the last
previously used mode displayed just be-
fore the ignition switch is off will appear.

1. Outside temperature
(“OUTSIDE TEMP”)
The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−40C (−40F) up to 50C (122F).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor, “−−”
or “E” will appear on the display. If “−−”
or “E” appears on the display, contact
your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−” appears
momentarily when the ignition switch is
quickly set to ON. It is normal if it goes
out soon.
2. Driving range
(“CRUISING RANGE”)
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 driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every 1
second while driving.If the fuel gauge malfunctions, the mileage
figure will not appear.
When the vehicle is refueled, the driving
range is recalculated.
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.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.
3. Average fuel consumption
(“TANK AVG”)
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.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the dis-
played value is reset.4. Driving distance
(“SINCE START”)
The driving distance after the engine
starts is displayed.
Every time you start the engine, the driv-
ing distance display is reset.
5. Average vehicle speed
(“AVG SPEED”)
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.
6. Cruise information off
The display indicates only odometer and
two trip meters.
7. Zoom display of odometer and trip
meter
The odometer and one of the trip meters
are displayed simultaneously. See
“—Odometer and two trip meters” de-
scribed below.
