To protect items locked in the glove box
when using valet parking, leave the sub
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.

indicator light will start flashing again. 4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will sound the alarm under
the following conditions:
If any of the doors is unlocked or
opened without the key or wireless re-
mote control transmitter, or if the hood
is forcibly opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
Vehicles with the glass breakage sensor—
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The indicator light will come on when the

Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets
the alarm after the alarm stops.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in
“Activating the system”.
Stopping the alarm
The alarm will be stopped by the following
two ways:
Turn the engine switch from the
“LOCK” to “ON” position.
Unlock any of the doors with the key
or wireless remote control transmitter.
These ways cancel the system at the
same time. TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described above. The side doors should be locked with
the key or wireless remote control
transmitter. Be sure to wait until the
indicator light goes off or starts flash-
ing.
3. Unlock any door from the inside. The system s hould activate the alarm.
4. Stop the alarm as described above.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing the
hood, also check that the system is
activated when the battery terminal is
disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

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.

The oil pressure gauge indicates engine
oil pressure when the engine switch is
on. Check it while driving to make sure
that the needle is in the proper range.
If the oil pressure should stay below the
normal range, pull off the road to a safe
place and stop the engine immediately.
Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair
shop for assistance.
Oil pressure may not build up when the
oil level is too low. The oil pressure
gauge is not designed to indicate oil level,
and the oil level must be checked using
the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the oil
pressure below the normal range until
the cause is fixed—it may ruin the
engine.

Automatic transmission fluid tempera-
ture gauge indicates automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature when the en-
gine switch is on. Check it while
driving to make sure that the needle is
in the proper range.
The gauge displays the current tempera-
ture of the automatic transmission fluid.
The gauge informs the driver of changes
in the automatic transmission fluid temper-
ature especially if it becomes too high
while towing a heavy trailer or hauling a
heavy load.
If the needle reads high range while you
are driving, slow down and pull off the
road. Stop the vehicle at a safe place and
put the selector lever in “P”. With the
engine idling, wait until the needle reads
below the high range. If the needle reads
below the high range, you may start the
vehicle again. If the needle reads the high
range, call a Toyota dealer or qualified
repair shop for assistance.
NOTICE
Continued driving with reading in the
high range may damage the automatic
transmission.

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.
