Instrument Cluster in Camry

    Instrument Cluster in Toyota Camry is a set of instrumentation, including the speedometer, that is displayed with a digital readout rather than with the traditional analog gauges. Many refer to it simply as a digital speedometer.

    Warning lights and indicators

    The warning lights and indicators on the instrument cluster, center panel and outside rear view mirrors inform the driver of the status of the vehicle’s various systems.

    For the purpose of explanation, the following illustrations display all warning lights and indicators illuminated.

    Warning lights

    Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in the indicated vehi-cle’s systems.

    *1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
    *2: This light flashes to indicate a malfunction.
    *3: This light illuminates on the center panel.

    Indicators

    The indicators inform the driver of the operating state of the vehicle’s various systems.

    *1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
    *2: This light does not turn on when the system is disabled.
    *3: This light turns on when the system is off.
    *4: This light flashes to indicate that the system is operating.
    *5: These indicators will illuminate in the following situations to indicate that the system initial check is being performed:
    • When the BSM function or RCTA function is enabled and the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
    • When the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) and the BSM function is enabled.
    • When the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) and the RCTA function is enabled. (At this time, a buzzer will also sound.)
    The indicators will turn off after a few seconds. If the indicators do not illuminate or turn off, or if a buzzer does not sound when the RCTA function is enabled, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
    *6: This light illuminates on the outside rear view mirrors.
    *7: This light illuminates on the center panel.
    *8: When the outside temperature is approximately 37°F (3°C) or lower, this indicator will flash for approximately 10 seconds, then stay on.

    WARNING

    If a safety system warning light does not come on
    Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning lights not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately if this occurs.

    2. Brighter
    • The brightness of the instrument panel lights can be adjusted individually for day mode and night mode*.
    • If the brightness is adjusted when the surroundings are bright and the tail lights are on (day mode brightness adjustment), the brightness level of night mode will be adjusted at the same time.

    • Vehicles with a smart key system: The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

    Brightness of the meters (day mode and night mode)

    • The brightness of the meters is changed between day mode and night mode.
      • Day mode: When the tail lights are off or when the tail lights are on but the surrounding area is bright
      • Night mode: When the tail lights are on and the surrounding area is dark
    • When in night mode, the brightness will be reduced slightly unless the meters are set to the maximum brightness level.

    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.
