The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the meter’s brightness will be reduced slightly unless the meter brightness level adjustment is set to the brightest setting. If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter’s brightness will reduce slightly. However, when the surroundings are bright, such as during the daytime, the meter’s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.

Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.

WARNING

• The information displayed at low temperatures
  Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 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 down-shift 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.
• Voltmeter
  When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is running, there may be a 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 amount of engine oil.
  • When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not decreased, or if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubrication system.
