This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The instrument cluster is a vari-
able display. When the sport
mode switch is used to change
the driving mode, the instrument
cluster displays change to
match the driving mode.
The display change in the instru-
ment cluster can be deactivated
via Toyota Supra Command.
Some of the displays in the
instrument cluster may differ
from the illustrations in this
Owner's Manual.
If the displays on the instrument
cluster fail, do not use the vehicle.
There may be a risk of accident or
risk of damage to property. Immedi-
ately park the vehicle in a safe man-
ner.If drive readiness is switched off
and on again, the malfunction may
be rectified and i t may be possible
to continue driving. If the malfunc-
tion cannot be remedied, have the
system checked by your Toyota
dealer.
