The outside temperature display and
cruise information display indicates the
following information.
Every time you push the “INFO” button,
the display toggles through this infor-
mation.
1. Outside temperature
2. Average fuel consumption
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
4. Driving range
5. Display off
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions.
To set the unit, push the “SETUP US/M”
button until the desired unit display ap-
pears.
When the engine switch is on, the last
previously used mode displayed just be-
fore the engine switch is off will appear. 1. Outside temperature (“OUTSIDE
F”
or “OUTSIDE C”)
The outside temperature display indicates
the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
− 40 F ( −40 C) up to 122 F (50 C).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor,
“ −−− F” (“ −−−C”) will appear on the dis-
play. If “ −−−F” (“ −−−C”) appears on the
display, contact your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−− F”
(“−−− C”) appears momentarily when the
engine switch is quickly turned to the
“ON” position. It is normal if it goes out
soon.
2. Average fuel consumption (“AVG MPG” or “AVG L/100 km”)
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 about ev-
ery 10 seconds.
To reset the calculation, push the
“SELECT RESET” button about 2 second.

3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
(“INST MPG” or “INST L/100 km”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption at 20 revo-
lutions of the engine.
The displayed value is updated for a short
time.
An accurate figure may not be shown if
the vehicle is driving down a long slope,
and engine brake is applied. (The display
will indicate the extremely low fuel con-
sumption.)
When the vehicle is stopped with the en-
gine running, “ −−, −MPG” will be shown
on the display.
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off. 4. Driving range (“RANGE MI” or
“RANGE km”)
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 time
the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is
consumed.
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 effi-
ciency is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel efficiency 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.
