adjusted.

●

“---”  may  be  displayed  if  the  tire  information  cannot  be  determined  due  to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.

●

Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.

■

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 12 mph [20
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

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

For safety, avoid operating the meter control switches while driving as much
as  possible,  and  do  not  look  continuously  at  the  multi-information  display
while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switches. Fail-
ure  to  do  so  may  cause  a  steering  wheel  operation  error,  resulting  in  an
unexpected accident.

■

Cautions while setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may  collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  serious
health hazard.

■

The multi-information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the multi-informa-
tion  display. At  extremely  low  temperatures,  the  multi-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 serious injury.

NOTICE

■

While setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.
