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.   5 2 9 )
■ Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower whi le the engine
is running, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■ Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the  engine is
running, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check  the amount
of engine oil. ( P. 416) 
When  the  oil  pressure  drops  even  though  the  engine  oil  amount  h as  not
decreased,  or  if  the  oil  pressure  does  not  increase  when  engine   oil  is
added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem wi th the lubri-
cation system.

■Setting items
●“Vehicle  Settings”  and  “Meter  Settings”  setting  items  are  not  s electable
during driving and cannot be operated.
Also, the settings screen is temporarily canceled in the follow ing situations.
• When a warning message appears.
• When the vehicle begins to move.
● Settings for functions not equipped to the vehicle are not displayed.
● When  a  function  is  turned  off,  the  related  settings  for  that  fu nction  are  not
selectable.
■ Pop-up display
In  some  situations,  such  as  when  a  switch  operation  is  performe d,  a  pop-up
display will be temporarily displayed on the multi-information  display.
■ When disconnecting and reco nnecting battery terminals
The drive information will be reset.
■ Trip summary display
When  the  engine  switch  is  turned  off,  each  of  the  following  wil l  be  displayed
on  the  multi-information  display,  and  will  clear  after  approximately  30  sec-
onds.
● Distance traveled
● Average fuel consumption
● Driving range
■ Tire inflation pressure
●It  may  take  a  few  minutes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressur e  after  the
engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes t o display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
● “---”  may  be  displayed  if  the  tire  position  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.
■ 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

WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
● When  operating  the  multi-information  display  while  driving,  pay  extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.
● Do  not  look  continuously  at  the  multi-information  display  while  driving  as
you  may  fail  to  see  pedestrians,  objects  on  the  road,  etc.  ahea d  of  the
vehicle.
■ 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 monoxi de (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.

To  take  out  the  mechanical  key,
push  the  release  button  and  take
the key out.
The  mechanical  key  can  only  be
inserted  in  one  direction,  as  the
key only has grooves on one side.
If  the  key  cannot  be  inserted  in  a
lock  cylinder,  turn  it  over  and  reat-
tempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical  key  together  with  the  electronic  key.  If  the  electronic  key
battery is depleted or the ent ry function does not operate prop erly, you
will need the mechanical key. ( P. 523)

■ When  required  to  leave  the  vehicle ’s  key  with  a  parking  attendant  (type
C)
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. ( P. 362)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.
Using the mechanical key (type C)
When   is pressed for longer than about

1243-1. Key information
■Key battery depletion (type B or type C)
Type B
If  the  wireless  remote  control  function  does  not  operate,  the  b attery  may  be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 451)
Type C
● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin wh en the engine
stops. ( P. 503)
● As the electronic  key always receives radio waves, the battery  will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following  symptoms indi-
cate  that  the  electronic  key  battery  may  be  depleted.  Replace  the  battery
when necessary. ( P. 451)
• The  smart  key  system  or  the  wirel ess  remote  control  does  not  oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key  surface does not turn on.
●To  avoid  serious  deterioration,  do  not  leave  the  electronic  key   within  1  m
(3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a m agnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■Replacing the battery (type B or type C)
P. 451
■ Confirmation of the registered key number
The  number  of  keys  already  registered  to  the  vehicle  can  be  confirmed. Ask
your Toyota dealer for details.
■ Customization (type B or type C)
