Toyota Yaris: Meters and Gauges / Speedometer, Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle. If a few seconds have elapsed after switching the ignition off, the needle may deviate. However, this does not indicate a problem.

Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

The display mode can be changed from odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B and then back to odometer by pressing the selector while one of them is displayed. The selected mode will be displayed.

1. Odometer
2. Trip meter A
3. Trip meter B

Odometer

The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

Trip meter

The trip meter can record the total distance of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter A, and the other is recorded in trip meter B.

For instance, trip meter A can record the distance from the point of origin, and trip meter B can record the distance from where the fuel tank is filled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing the selector again within one second will change to trip meter B mode.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A will be displayed. When trip meter B is selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter records the total distance the vehicle is driven until the meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by depressing and holding the selector for one second or more. Use this meter to measure trip distances and to compute fuel consumption.

Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

When the ignition is switched to ACC or off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be displayed, however, pressing the selector can inadvertently switch the trip meters or reset them during an approximate ten-minute period in the following cases:

• After the ignition is switched to off from ON.
• After the driver’s door is opened.

Trip meter

• If TRIP A is reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes (resets) the fuel economy monitor and the trip meter (TRIP A) is on, the fuel economy data resets in conjunction with TRIP A.

  Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor.

• Only the trip meters record tenths of miles (kilometers).
• The trip record will be erased when:
  • The power supply is interrupted (blown fuse or the battery is disconnected).
  • The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 mile (km).

Tachometer

The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).

1. Striped zone* 1
2. Red zone* 1

* 1: The range varies depending on the type of gauge.

When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE.

NOTICE

Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
