trip meter is displayed, pressing 
and holding the switch will reset 
the trip meter.
WARNING
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 exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the i ndicator needle 
of the tachomete r enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating 
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture 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.535)
■Voltmeter
When the voltmeter indicates 19 
V or higher or 9 V  or lower while 
the hybrid system is operating, 
there may be a 12- volt 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 amoun t of engine oil. 
(  P.458)
When the oil pressure drops even 
though the engine oil amount has 
not decreased, or i f the oil pres-
sure does not increase when 
engine oil is added, contact your 
Toyota dealer, as there may be a 
problem with the lubrication sys-
tem.
