“MODE” button
This button is used to select the item.
Every time you push the “MODE” button,
the display toggles.
For more details, see “—Outside
temperature and cruise information
display” on page 312 in this Section.

The garage door opener (\b
Universal Transceiver) is manufactured
under license from HomeLink\b and can
be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks,
home lighting systems, and security
systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink
\b
The HomeLink\b in your vehicle has 3
buttons and you can store one program
for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the
HomeLink
\b, install a new battery in the
hand− held transmitter prior to program-
ming.
The battery side of the hand −held trans-
mitter must be pointed away from the
HomeLink
\b during the programming pro-
cess.
For Canadian users, follow the procedure
in “Programming an entrance gate/pro-
gramming all devices in the Canadian
market”.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
\b buttons
you want to program. Push and hold
down one of the buttons until the indi-
cator corresponding to the selected
channel begins to flash.

Compass sensor
The compass sensor is on the inside of
the roof.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the roof of the vehicle.
Doing this may cause malfunction of
the compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation;1. Stop the vehicle in a level place and switch the display to the outside
temperature. (To switch to this mode,
see “—Outside temperature and cruise
information display” on page 312 in this
Section.)
2. Push and hold both the “MODE” and “E/M” buttons simultaneously for 5 sec-
onds until the “VAR” indication appears
on the compass display.
3. Push the “E/M” button several times until the desired zone number appears
on the compass display.
If the button is not pushed for 10 sec-
onds, the display returns to the compass/
outside temperature mode and the number
that is last set is memorized.
To select the zone where the vehicle is
currently located, refer to the following
map.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling
calibration)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. In
this case, the compass needs to be cali-
brated.
To calibrate the compass manually, do the
following;1. Stop the vehicle in a level place and switch the display to the outside
temperature. (To switch to this mode,
see “—Outside temperature and cruise
information display” on page 312 in this
Section.) 2. Push and hold both the “MODE” and
“E/M” buttons simultaneously for 10
seconds until the “CAL” indication ap-
pears on the compass display. (At this
time, the compass display is locked in
“N”.)
u19007
3. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h(5 mph) or less. If there is not enough
space to drive in a circle, drive around
the block.
When the “CAL” indication goes off and
the compass returns to the normal mode,
calibration is complete.
If you want to restart the calibration be-
fore it is complete, push both of the
“MODE” and “E/M” buttons simultaneously
for 10 seconds again.

To secure your luggage, use the tie
down hooks as shown above.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 364
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, keep the tie
down hooks folded in place on the
floor when not in use.
NOTICE
Do not use the seat anchors instead
of the tie down hooks.

CAUTION
When you load cargo on the roof lug-
gage carrier, observe the following:
Place the cargo so that its weight
is distributed evenly between the
front and rear axles.
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (See “Dimensions and
weights” on page 462 in Section 8
for information on your vehicle
overall length and width.)
Before driving, make sure the cargo
is securely fastened on the roof
luggage carrier.
Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly.
If driving for a long distance, on
rough roads, or at high speeds,
stop the vehicle now and then dur-
ing the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
Do not exceed 68 kg (150 lb.) cargo
weight on the roof luggage carrier.
NOTICE
When loading the luggages, be careful
not to scratch the surface of the
moon roof.

Use a floor mat of the correct size.
If the vehicle carpet and floor mat have
a hole, then it is designed for use with a
locking clip. Attach the floor mat to the
vehicle carpet using the clip. Look the clip
into the hole in the vehicle carpet.

Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high −speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp. qt./600
miles) When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to judge
the true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This
is because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
speeds, as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after driving at high speeds.
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in prop-
er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-
gine oil at the optimum level so that oil
function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see “Checking the engine oil level” on
page 432 in Section 7
−2.
