■ Pop-up display
In some situations, such as when a switch operation is performed, a pop-up
display, will be temporarily displayed on the multi-information display.
The pop-up display function can be set on/off.
■ Setting display automatic cancelation
In the following situations, setting display in which the settings can b\
e
changed through the meter control switch will automatically be turned off.
●When a warning message appears while the setting display is displayed
● When the vehicle begins to move while the setting display is displayed
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This l ag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.

Operation of each component
HIGHLANDER_U (OM0E017U)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Closing the windows
● The driver is responsible for all the power window operations, including the
operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental operation,
especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other passengers to have body parts caught in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recommended to use
the window lock switch. ( →P. 173)
● Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.
● When using the wireless remote control, key or mechanical key and oper-
ating the power windows, operate the power window after checking to
make sure that there is no possibility of any passenger having any of their
body parts caught in the window. Also do not let a child operate window by
the wireless remote control, key or mechanical key. It is possible for chil-
dren and other passengers to get caught in the power window.
● When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch off, carry the key and exit
the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.
■ Jam protection function (windows with one-touch closing function
only)
● Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the window fully closes.
