Pop-Up display
The pop-up display is displayed on the multi-information displa y according to
the operating conditions of the following functions:
● Route guidance display of the navigation system-linked system ( if equipped)
● Incoming call display of the hands-free phone system
The pop-up display function can be disabled.
■ Tire inflation pressure
●It  may  take  a  few  minutes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressur e  after  the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a  few min-
utes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressure  after  inflation  pre ssure  has  been
adjusted.
● “---”  may  be  displayed  if  the  tire  information  cannot  be  determined  due  to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
● Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed  values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressur e gauge.
■ Outside temperature display
In  the  following  situations,  the  correct  outside  temperature  ma y  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  12 mph [20
km/h])
● When  the  outside  temperature  has  changed  suddenly  (at  the  entra nce/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
● When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small  spots  or  light  spots  may  appear  on  the  display.  This  phen omenon  is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no prob lem continuing to

In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking fo rce may not be
obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:
• If  the  braking  functions  cannot  operate  to  their  full  extent,  such  as  when
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If  the  vehicle  is  not  properly  maintained  (brakes  or  tires  are   excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When  the  vehicle  is  being  driven  on  a  gravel  road  or  other  sli ppery  sur-
face
● Some  pedestrians  such  as  the  following  may  not  be  detected  by  t he  radar
sensor and camera sensor, preventing the system from operating  properly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller  than approx-
imately 6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skir t, etc.), mak-
