The system can memorize up to 2 posi-
tions by repeating the above steps. If step
2 is performed for a button that already
has a memory setting, the previous posi-
tion will be erased and the new position
will be memorized.
To make only slight changes to an already
memorized position, the easiest way is to
first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform
step 2 above.
XS13099a
RECALLING THE MEMORIZED POSITION
When you push button “1” or “2”, a
beep will sound and the driving posi-
tion will be automatically adjusted to
the position recorded for that button.
The memorized position can be recalled
under the following conditions:
The engine switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion and the selector lever is in the “P”
position.
The key is not in the engine switch
and less than 30 seconds have passed
since opening the driver ’s door.
To stop the operation, push any driving
position memory button. To reactivate the system, push button “1”
or “2” again.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the memory will be erased and the posi-
tions will have to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the
adjustment are being made.
Take care not to select the wrong
button, or the seat could strike the
rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this
happens, you can stop the move-
ment by pressing another driving
position memory switch, or de-
pressing the brake pedal.

Daytime running light (DRL) system (on
some models)
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system
can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. The
DRL system can be helpful in many differ-
ent driving conditions, but they can be
especially helpful in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your front turn
signal lights come on when:
The engine switch is on with the en-
gine running.
The knob is in the “OFF” position or
position 1.
The parking brake is released.
To turn off the DRL system, twist the knob
to position 2, flashing the high beam
headlights or turn the engine switch to the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position.

High Low beams— For high beams, turn
the headlights on and push the lever away
from you (position 1). Pull the lever to-
ward you (position 2) for low beams.
The headlight high beam indicator light
(blue light) on the instrument panel will
tell you that the high beams are on.
Flashing the high beam headlights
(position 3)—Pull the lever all the way
back. The high beam headlights turn off
when you release the lever.
You can flash the high beam headlights
with the knob turned to “OFF”.
LS15026a
TURN SIGNALS
To signal a turn, push the headlight/
turn signal lever up or down to position
1.
The engine switch must be in the “ON”
position.
The lever automatically returns after you
make a turn, but you may have to return
it by hand after you change lanes.
To signal a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the pressure point (position
2) and hold it.
If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out.

The automatic light control sensor is on
the top of the driver’s side instrument
panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument
panel, and/or do not affix anything on the
windshield to block this sensor.
If you feel that the automatic light control
comes into operation too early or too late,
have the sensor adjusted by your Toyota
dealer. Automatic light cut off system

matically turn off immediately.
The time before the headlights turn off

1. Zoom display of odometer and trip
meter
The odometer and one of the trip meters
are displayed simultaneously. See
“—Odometer and two trip meters”.
2. Average fuel consumption (“Average Fuel Economy”)
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.
To reset the calculations, push and hold
the “SELECT RESET” button for more
than 2 seconds.
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption (“Current Fuel Economy”)
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.) The display indicates 0 when the vehicle
is stopped with the engine running.
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off.
4. Driving range (“Distance To Empty”)
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. However, when only a
small amount of fuel is added to the tank,
the display may not be 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. If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.
5. Driving time (“Trip Timer”)
To calculate the driving time, display
the “Trip Timer” after the engine has
been started. Then press the “SELECT
RESET” button. To stop the calculation,
press the “SELECT RESET” button
again.
Driving time is counted from 0:00:00. Up
to 99:59:59 (99 hours, 59 minutes and 59
seconds) can be displayed. When the driv-
ing time exceeds 99:59:59, the counter
returns to 0:00:00.
If the engine switch is turned off while the
driving time is being calculated, the cal-
culation will cease. When the engine is
next started, it will automatically resume
from the previous value.
If the “SELECT RESET” button is pressed
to cease the calculation and then the en-
gine switch is turned off, the calculation
will not resume when the engine is next
started. In this case, press the “SELECT
RESET” button to start the calculation.
To reset the calculation, push and hold
the “SELECT RESET” button for more
than 2 seconds.
