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 the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h
[12 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING

■

The information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display type B)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For vehicles with automatic transmission: 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 possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature 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. 613)

■

The information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display type A)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
