■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
use the display.

Maintenance and care
Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.
Read the pressure using  the gauge gradations.
If the tire inflation pressure is not at the recommended level,  adjust
the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to defla te.
After  completing  the  tire  inflation  pressure  measurement  and
adjustment, apply soapy water to  the valve and check for leakage.
Put the tire valve cap back on.
■Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation p ressure every two weeks, or at least once
a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrec t tire inflation pressure may result in th e following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating , have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

■SRS warning light
This  warning  light  system monitors  the  airbag  sensor  assembly,  front  impact
sensors, side impact sensors (front door), side impact sensors  (rear), driver’s
seat  position  sensor,  driver’s  seat  belt  buckle  switch,  front  passenger  occu-
pant classification system (ECU and sensors), “AIR BAG ON” indi cator light,
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light, front passenger’s seat belt buck le switch, seat
belt  pretensioners  assemblies,  airbags,  interconnecting  wiring  and  power
sources. ( P. 42)
■ Front  passenger  detection  sensor,  seat  belt  reminder  and  warnin g
buzzer
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front pas senger detec-
tion sensor may cause  the warning light to  flash and the warnin g  buzzer  to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If  a  cushion  is  placed  on  the  seat,  the  sensor  may  not  detect  a  passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
●Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
● Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact  your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate  level. Push-
ing the tire pressur e warning reset switch  will not turn off the tire pressure
warning light.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake s ystem warning lights remain on
Stop  your  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  immediately  and  contact  your  To y o t a
dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braki ng, and the
ABS  system  may  fail,  which  could  cause  an  accident  resulting  in   death  or
serious injury.
■ If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so  could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
● Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
● If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inf lation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the  tires. If a tire
is  flat,  change  it  with  the  spare  tire  and  have  the  flat  tire  repaired  by  the
nearest Toyota dealer.
● Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■ If a blowout or sudden  air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
■
Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when  cold  and  inflated  to  the  inflation  pressure  recommended  by  the
vehicle  manufacturer  on  the  vehicle  placard  or  tire  inflation  p ressure
label  (tire  and  load  information  label).  (If  your  vehicle  has  t ires  of  a  dif-
ferent size than the size indica ted on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure  label  [tire  and  load  information  label],  you  should  de termine
the proper tire inflation p ressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your  vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure  monitoring  system  (TPMS -tire  pressure  warning  system) that
illuminates a low tire  pressure telltale (tire pressure warning  light) when
one  or  more  of  your  tires  is  significantly  under-inflated.  Acco rdingly,
when  the  low  tire  pressure  telltale  (tire  pressure  warning  ligh t)  illumi-
nates,  you  should  stop  and  check  your  tires  as  soon  as  possible ,  and
inflate  them  to  the  proper  pressure.  Driving  on  a  significantly   under-
inflated  tire  causes  the  tire  to  overheat  and  can  lead  to  tire  failure.
Under-inflation  also  reduces  fuel  efficiency  and  tire  tread  lif e, and may
affect the vehicle’s handl ing and stopping ability.
