1062. Instrument cluster
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
Odometer and trip meter display
Displays the following items.
●Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
●Trip meter
Displays the distance the vehicle has been driven since the meter was
last reset. Trip meters A and B can be used to record and display differ-
ent distances independently.
●Maintenance required information (1WW and 2WW engines)
Displays the remaining distance until the engine oil should be changed.
If “-” is displayed before distance, it means oil maintenance is overdue.
Have the engine oil changed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Displays the maintenance required information when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or in IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry &
start system).
• Maintenance required information reset method (P. 459)
●Stop & Start system operation time (1WW and 2WW engines
with monochrome display)
Displays the amount of time the engine was stopped due to operation of
the Stop & Start system during the current trip.
●Stop & Start system total operation time (1WW and 2WW
engines with monochrome display)
Displays the total amount of time that the engine has been stopped due
to operation of the Stop & Start system since the system was last reset.
●Stop & Start system operation time (1WW and 2WW engines
with color display)
Displays the elapsed time after the engine is stopped until it is re-started
by the Stop & Start system.
●Instrument panel light control display (vehicles with monochrome
display)
Displays the meter light control display.

2564-5. Toyota Safety Sense
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the front sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. If the windshield is dirty or covered
with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clear the windshield. If the
inner side of the windshield in front of the front sensor is dirty, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
● If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside
of the vehicle, such as in winter, t he windshield is likely to fog up easily. If
the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may illuminate and
the system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the windshield
defogger to remove the fog, etc. ( P. 394, 401)
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.) (Approx-
imately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the right and left
from the center of the front sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)

4567-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■Checking the engine oil
Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine
and turning it off, wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the bottom of the engine.
Hold a rag under the end and pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Flat dipstick: Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Non-flat dipstick: Reinsert
the non-flat dipstick fully with
its protruding areas ( in the
illustration) pointing towards
the engine.

■Engine oil selection (Except for New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 5W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the
next oil change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become difficult
to start, so SAE 0W-20 or 5W-
30 engine oil is recommended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change

■Engine oil selection (For New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become difficult
to start, so SAE 0W-20, 5W-20
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
●The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
●The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
