HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
For safety and security
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering 
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury. 
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat  
● Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year 
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats. 
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat. 
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro- 
vided. 
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other. 
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down. 
■ Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely 
fixed in the correct place with all the 
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be 
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor. 
● With the engine stopped and the shift 
lever in P (automatic transmission) or N
(manual transmission), fully depress 
each pedal to the floor to make sure it 
does not interfere with the floor mat.

■Eco Driving Indicator (if equipped) 
If the vehicle exceeds Zone of Eco driving, the right side of Eco Driving Indi- 
cator Zone Display will blink (vehicles with multi-information display type A) 
or illuminate (vehicles with multi-information display type B). 
Eco Driving Indicator Light and Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display will not 
operate in the following conditions: 
● The shift lever is in anything other than D. (vehicles with automatic transmis- 
sion) 
● The shift lever is in R. (vehicles with manual transmission) 
● The vehicle is in the power mode. (if equipped) (P. 279, 285) 
● Downhill assist control system is operating. (if equipped) (P. 395) 
● Front-wheel drive control switch is in L4. (if equipped) (P. 363) 
● The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (81 mph) or higher. 
Eco Driving Indicator Light 
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
During Eco-friendly acceleration (Eco 
driving), Eco Driving Indicator Light will 
turn on. When the accelerator pedal is
depressed excessively, or when the 
vehicle is stopped, the light turns off. 
Vehicles with manual transmission:
During Eco-friendly acceleration or in 
Eco-friendly shift position (Eco driving), 
Eco Driving Indicator Light will turn on.
When the accelerator pedal is 
depressed excessively, or when the 
vehicle is stopped, the light turns off. 
Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display (if 
equipped)

reset. Trip meters A and B can be used to record and display different dis-
tances independently.
Multi-information display
Presents the driver with a variety of driving-related data. ( P. 137, 141)
Shift position and shift range (automatic transmission)
Displays the selected shift position or selected shift range. (P. 277)
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
Vehicles without multi-information display

■ Outside temperature display 
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis- 
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change: 
● When the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h 
[12 mph]) 
● When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit 
of a garage, tunnel, etc.) 
■ When “--” is displayed 
The system may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle to any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ The information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor- 
mation display type B) 
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 vehicles with automatic transmission: For example, there is a lag 
between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the
display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid 
and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components 
● Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which 
indicates the maximum engine speed. 
● The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is 
in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 654) 
■ The information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor- 
mation display type A) 
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.
