1082. Instrument cluster
■The multi-information display illuminate when
The engine switch is in ON.
■ The brightness of the in strument panel lights
When  the  tail  lights  are  turned  on,  the  display’s  brightness  will  be  reduced
slightly  unless  the  meter  brightness  level  adjustment  is  set  to   the  brightest
setting.
■ 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 stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 k m/h])
• When  the  outside  temperature  has  changed  suddenly  (at  the  entr ance/
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
● When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning . 
Take your vehicle to your 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
use the display.
WARNING
■ The information display at low temperatures
Allow  the  interior  of  the  vehicle  to  warm  up  before  using  the  liquid  crystal
information  display. At  extremely  low  temperatures,  the  information  display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.  
For  example,  there  is  a  lag  between  the  driver’s  shifting  and  t he  new  gear
number  appearing  on  the  display. This  lag  could  cause  the  drive r  to  down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  pos sibly  an
accident resulting in personal death or injury.
