Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F)
■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.
■Fuel gauge and driving range dis- play
The fuel gauge and driving range dis-
play are linked. If the fuel gauge and driving range display do not update after refueling a small amount, they can be
updated by performing the following pro- cedure:
1 Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Wait until the fuel in the fuel tank stabi- lizes.
2 Press or to select of the
multi-information display.
3 Press or to select .
4 Press to change the odometer
and trip meter display to the odome-
ter.
5 Turn the engine switch off.
6 While pressing and holding the
meter control switch, turn the engine
switch to ON.
7 Continue holding the meter
control switch for approximately 5
seconds.
Release the button when the odometer begins blinking.
Updating will be complete when the odometer blinks for approximately 5 seconds and then returns to the normal
display.
■Liquid crystal display
P. 8 3
■Customization
The gauges and meters can be custom-
ized in of the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.355)
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 of the tachom- eter enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed.

■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and
the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road sur- face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con- trol or down-shifting implementation to meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed
while power mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-als are depressed at the same time, the engine output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high
speeds. • Avoid sudden acceleration.• Do not drive continuously in low
gears. • Do not drive at a constant speed for

4-1. Before driving
extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.345)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-
cles with Multidrive)
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and
accelerator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-ing in an accident.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is
any flammable material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not turn
off the engine. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but
the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the vehi- cle as soon as it is safe to do so.However, in the event of an emer-
gency, such as if it becomes impos- sible to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 2 9 6
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and
lose effectiveness. ( P.135, 139)
●Do not adjust the positions of the
steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control
the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine brak-
ing due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehi-cle to skid.
