Fuel gauge

Low fuel level warning light

indicates

The gauge the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on. Nearly full—Needle at “F” Nearly empty—Needle at “E” It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full. The needle moves when braking, acceler- ating or making turns. This is caused by the movement of the fuel in the tank. If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.

172

05 SIENNA_U (L/O 0409)

Engine coolant temperature gauge

On inclines or curves, due to the move- ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual. If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately. The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the fuel gauge returns to “E” when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position.

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: D Driving up a long hill on a hot day. D Reducing speed or stopping after high

speed driving.

2005 SIENNA from Sep. ’04 Prod. (OM45431U)

D Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.

D Towing a trailer. It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge returns to “C” when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position.

NOTICE

z Do not remove the thermostat

in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to con- trol the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.

z Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your ve- hicle overheats” on page 420 in Section 4.

05 SIENNA_U (L/O 0409)

Tachometer

NOTICE

Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.

The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent en- gine lugging and over−revving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy. It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the tachometer returns to the bottom position when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position.

The light acts as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle up the seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the reminder light flashes if a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not fastened. However, if a front passen- ger uses an additional seat cushion, the light may not flash even when the seat belt is not buckled up. If luggage or other load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, built−in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure, causing the reminder light to flash.

“START”—Starter motor on. The key will return to the “ON” position when released. For starting tips, see page 403 in Section 3. It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the tachometer, fuel gauge or engine coolant temperature gauge returns to the bottom position when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position.

“ON”—Engine on and all accessories on. This is the normal driving position. It is not a malfunction even if the needle on the instrument panel may move when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. “ACC”—Accessories such as the radio operate, but the engine is off. the “ACC” or If you “LOCK” position and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. “LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. The key can be re- moved only at this position. You must push in the key to turn the key from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. The selector lever must be put in the “P” posi- tion before pushing the key. Vehicles with engine immobilizer system— Once you remove the key, the engine im- mobilizer system is automatically set. (See “Engine immobilizer system” on page 13
in Section 1−2.)

When starting the engine, the key may seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rock the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently.

(b) Normal driving 1. Start the engine as instructed in “How to start the engine” on page 404 in Section 3. The transmission must be in “P” or “N”.

2. With your foot holding down the brake

pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.

When the lever is in the “D” position, the automatic transmission system will select the most suitable gear for running condi- tions such as normal cruising, hill climb- ing, hard towing, etc. Always use the “D” position for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low, the transmis- sion will not shift into the overdrive gear even in the “D” position.

(c) Using engine braking To use engine braking, you can downshift the transmission as follows: D Shift into the “4” position. The trans- fourth gear

mission will downshift and engine braking will be enabled.

D Shift into the “3” position. The trans- mission will downshift third gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than the following speed, and stronger engine braking will be en- abled.

D When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use “D” position.

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

Tire pressure warning system The tire pressure warning system is de- signed to provide warning when tire pressure of any one of the tires is criti- cally low while the vehicle is moving. The light comes on to inform you that such low tire pressure may hamper driving. This system is not designed to operate when the vehicle is stopped. Therefore, check the tire pressure regularly. The rec- ommended cold tire size and the vehicle capacity weight are on the tire pressure label. (For instructions, see “Checking tire inflation pressure” on page 471 in Section 7−2.) Installed tires should be of the specified size. They should be of the same size and construction. If tires other than the specified size are used, or if tires of dif- ferent sizes or constructions are mixed, the tire pressure warning system will not function properly.

Once the ignition switch is turned off, the warning light also goes off. If the light comes on again when is started after adjusting the tire pressure to the specified level, have the tire pressure warning system checked at your Toyota dealer. If you have a flat tire, replace it with the spare tire. For details, see “If you have a flat tire” on page 421 in Section 4. Vehicles with run−flat tires— Decelerate at a speed below 90 km/h (55 mph), then adjust the tire pressure to the specified level as soon as pos- sible. Do not drive more than 160 km (100 miles). D When the tire pressure is below 140
kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2 or bar, 20 psi), con- sult your Toyota dealer. If the tire is flat or the tire pressure is below 100
kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 15 psi), the tire must be replaced. Do not use the repaired tire.

D When the tire pressure is 140 kPa (1.4
kgf/cm2 or bar, 20 psi) or more, adjust it to specified level. (See “Tires” on page 499 in Section 8.)

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT This light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. It goes off after a few seconds. This indicates that the tire pressure warning system is func- tioning properly. If the low tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks while driving, do the following. If the warning light comes on: Vehicles with standard tires— Adjust the tire pressure to the specified level as soon as possible. (See “Tires” on page 499 in Section 8.)

Once the ignition switch is turned off, the warning light also goes off. If the light comes on again when the vehicle is started after adjusting the tire pres- sure to the specified level, have the tire pressure warning system checked at your Toyota dealer.

For details about the run−flat tires, see “Run−flat tires” on page 477 in Section 7−2. If the warning light blinks once every second: The low tire pressure warning system may be malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota dealer. If the warning light blinks twice every second: The tire pressure warning system needs to be initialized.
