Position 2—Headlights and all of the
above
However, on some models, all the lights
above also turn on when the engine is
started with the headlight switch off.
With the headlight beam level control
switch—Adjust the headlight beam level
before turning on the headlights. (See
“Headlight beam level control” on page 63
in this Section.)
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer will remind you to turn the lights
off when the driver ’s door is opened if the
engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position with the headlight switch on.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on
for a long period when the engine is
not running.
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

LIGHTS AND WIPERS63
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. See “Replacing light
bulbs” on page 205 in Section 7−3.To adjust the headlight beam level, turn
the dial.
The following list shows examples of prop-
er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-
er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-
tion so that the beam level is the same
as the one obtained according to the list
when only the driver is in the vehicle. The
higher the number of the dial position, the
lower the headlight beam level.
Always keep the headlight beam at the
proper level, or your headlights may
dazzle other road users.

The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the engine 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.
The needle moves when braking, acceler-
ating or making turns. This is caused by
the movement of the fuel in the tank.
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.
On some models—
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 any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, as soon
as possible.The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the engine 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:
DDriving up a long hill on a hot day.
DReducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
DIdling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
DTowingatrailer.
NOTICE
zDo 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.
zDo not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 148 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.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.
For better fuel economy, keep the needle
within the economy (green) zone. Driving
with the engine running too fast causes
excessive engine wear and poor fuel
economy.
