■Outside temperature display

• In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
  • When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 16 mph [25 km/h])
  • When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
• When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer.

■Liquid crystal display

WARNING

■The information display 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 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.
