■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 stopped, or driving at low  speeds (less than 25 km/h [16 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.
■Liquid crystal display 
→ P. 8 7
■Customization 
The gauges and meters can be custom- 
ized in   of the multi-information dis-
play. ( →P.361)
■Changing the display 
Press the display change button  
until the desired item is displayed.
WARNING
■The information display at low  temperatures 
Allow the interior of the vehicle to  
warm up before using the liquid crys- tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information dis- 
play 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 lag could cause the driver to  
downshift again, causing rapid and  excessive engine braking and possi-bly 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 com-pletely. ( →P.346)

cle. (Take care to ensure that the key 
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry & 
start system. (→P.110)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi-
cle and a door handle becomes wet 
during a car wash, a message may be 
shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside 
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock 
all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-
erly if it comes into contact with ice, 
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor 
and attempt to operate it again.

dle operation immediately after enter-
ing the effective range may prevent 
the doors from being unlocked. Touch 
the door unlock sensor and check that 
the doors are unlocked before pulling

detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door 
handle is gripped.

extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not 
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6 
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be 
deactivated in advance. (→P.361)
●Setting the electronic key to battery-
saving mode helps to reduce key bat-
tery depletion. (→P.110)

when operating the system. Do not get 
the electronic key too close to the vehi-
cle when operating the system from the 
outside of the vehicle.

condition of the electronic key, the key 
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The 
alarm may go off accidentally, or the 
door lock prevention function may not 
operate.)
