The outside temperature display cates the outside air temperature. The displayed ranges −22_F (−30_C) up to 122_F (50_C). If an abnormality exists in the connection of temperature sensor, “−−_F” (“−−_C”) will appear on the display. If “−−_F” (“−−_C”) appears on the display, contact your Toyota dealer. There may be a case that “−−_F” (“−−_C”) appears momentarily when the ignition is quickly turned to “ON”. It is normal if it goes out soon. 2. Average vehicle speed

(“AVG MPH” or “AVG km/h”)

Average vehicle speed is calculated and displayed based on total driving dis- tance and total driving time with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10
seconds. To reset the calculation, push the “INFO” button for more than 1 second.

5. Driving time (“E/T”) The elapsed time after the engine starts is displayed. When the engine is started, driving time is counted from 0:00. Up to 11:59 (11
hours, 59 minutes) can be displayed. When the driving time exceeds 11:59, the counter returns to 0:00. The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off.

To reset the hour: Push the “H” button. To reset the minutes: Push the “M” button. The key must be in the “ACC” or “ON” position. If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the clock, the time dis- play will automatically be set to 1:00 (one o’clock).

Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and fuel consumption with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10
seconds. 4. Instantaneous fuel consumption

(“MPG” or “L/100 km”)

The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on dis- tance and fuel consumption for 1 sec- onds with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 2
seconds. Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following cases. D The vehicle is stopped with the engine running. (The display will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption.) is driving down a

To rectify this, stop the vehicle and push and hold the “COMP” switch until “C” appears on the display. If “C” appears on the display because of a drastic change in the magnetic field, perform circling calibration.

NOTICE

z To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not use the power outlet longer than necessary when the engine is not running.

z Close the power outlet lid when the power outlet is not in use. Inserting anything other than an appropriate plug that fits the outlet may cause electrical failure or short circuits.

The power outlet is not designed for the following electric appliances even though their power consumption is un- der 115 VAC/100W. These appliances may not operate properly.

This power outlet (115 VAC) is designed for use as a power supply for electric appliances in the vehicle. The key must be in the “ON” position for the power outlet to be used. The maximum capacity for this power out- let is 115 VAC/100W. If you attempt to use an appliance that requires more than 115 VAC or 100W, the protection circuit will activate and cut the power supply. The power supply will restart automatically when you use an appliance that operates within the 115 VAC/100W limits.

Main switch

To use the power outlet, push the main switch on the instrument panel. An indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the power outlet is ready for use. Push the main switch once again to turn the power outlet off. When the power out- let is not in use, make sure that the main switch is turned off.

CAUTION

D When programming the HomeLinkR Universal Transceiver, you may be operating a garage door or other device. Make sure people and ob- jects are out of the way of the ga- rage door or other device to pre- vent potential harm or damage.

D Do not use this HomeLinkR Univer- sal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as re- quired by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door open- er which cannot detect an object (signaling the door to stop and re- verse), does not meet current feder- al safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.

Auxiliary boxes To use the auxiliary boxes, open the lids as shown in the following illustra- tions.

CAUTION

D To reduce the chance of injury in case of an accident or sudden stop, always keep the auxiliary box closed while driving.

D Type A—It is designed for holding a light objects, do not place any heavy objects in it. Heavy objects may cause the holder to open and contents to fly out resulting in inju- ries.

NOTICE

Type A—During hot weather, the inte- rior of the vehicle becomes very hot. Do not leave anything flammable or deformable such as a lighter, glasses, etc. inside.

Engine immobilizer system

For your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with built−in transponder chip, your dealer will need your key number and master key. However, there is a limit to the number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the sys- tem or start the engine.

NOTICE

Do not modify, remove or disas- semble the engine immobilizer sys- tem. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, proper opera- tion of the system cannot be guaran- teed.
