I just picked up my wifes 2000 4Runner LTD tonight and she is as happy as can be. The guy I bought it from couldn't find the owner's manual, but he is going to send it when he finds it. Could someone please tell me how to change the inside and outside temp so it is not Celcius? It confused my wife at first when it said the inside temp was 21.5° and outside it was 10°. I looked all over google and I couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to spending some time on this site.

 

Better be ready to spend some money too, this place has that kind of effect on people. Welcome aboard, post some pics when you get a chance. Then the real fun begins.

 

Maks sure your to put some steps for your wife cuz i bet it's gonna be lifted in about a week or so haahah.

 

Is this a US spec 4Runner? My manual says "The vehicles sold in the U.S.A., the temperature is indicated in degrees Fehrenheit, while the vehicles sold in Canada, the temperature is indicated in degrees Centigrade." Maybe a dealer would be able to tell you how to do it, I don't know any way and I don't see one in my manual.

 

Thanks guys.

I sure hope there is a way around this otherwise that will be a big pain in the a$$. Will the VIN tell me anything? The previous owner told me he chose centigrade but he couldn't remember how he did it. This might be a stupid question but if that has to do with it being built for Canada would the odometer be in kilometers?

 

Hope you get this figured out cause that would drive me insane!

other than that, welcome to the forum, have you got any plans for the Runner, or just leave it stock?

 

I really don't know much about these. I am more of a muscle car guy. I know she wants to put on a bug deflector at some point, nothing to major. That could all change once I look around this site and start getting ideas.

 

Can you take a pic of the display with the buttons, welcome

 

I will see what I can do. Are you thinking it is a different display? I have never been in any other 2000 LTD's to compare it to.

 

oh yeah, your runner is screwed up. just give it to me. i'll take it off your hands!

 

just so you can compare...

 

I have heard that putting in a supercharger can fix whatever minor problem you may have... HAHA

Welcome aboard

 

thanks Iamafan, mine looks like the same unit as yours.

 

Welcome to the site!

What color is your limited?

 

Try holding the temp button down for a couple secs and see what happens but you might need dealer assistance if that don't work.

Oh yeah,welcome to the board.

 

I've done it before... now lemme see if I remember how...

 

Is the "outside ring" of numbers on the speedo in Miles? If so, then your odo is also in miles.

 

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Yes the outside ring is MPH.

Bamachem I am all ears if you think of anything. I talked to a local Toyota dealer today and they said to just push the button that is on top of the dash. When I said there is no button he said "then I don't know look at your owners manual".

Jason, the one we ended up buying is all Silver. We were looking at a white with silver on the bottom but the dealership sold it the day we were supposed to pick it up.

Thanks again

 

The manual for my 2000 LTD says "The vehicles sold in the USA, the temperature is indicated in degrees Fahrenheit, while the vehicles sold in Canada, the temperature is indicated in degrees Centigrade."

 

My manual for my 99 says the same thing. Now that I think about it, I think it was my wife's '03 3.2TL that had the temp in C that I changed.

Here's the display that you were wanting, right? Does yours SAY *C or something?
