does Sienta hv the engine temperature meter? (not outside temperature).
Sit my fren Bezza, when going up hill genting suddenly aircon cut off. Then only realized no temperature meter. cannot justified overheat or what problems. When going bk downhill, aircon works as normal. I found out Wish oso dun hv the temp meter.

Because consumer wants it

The leftmost indicator (light blue colour) is temperature indicator?

Oooo indicator... no more meter...

Its needed for engine braking or accelerate.. its only happen at certain time, and each time happen its happen at the right moment.. Toyota did a very good job with this CVT gbx

most new car no more temperature meter.. but some still do have it..

just surfed Toyota Japan website. in japan the higher end type is G. X and lastly is X"V Package" while here is V>G

My new car has it, and I can let the display show me the oil temperature too (which is different from the other meter, and quite valuable to know).

Not having a proper meter is irresponsible, and they do it just to save a few cent. Bad for reliability if you don't know when the engine is not yet warm, and leaving it on in idle barely helps warming up the engine... you need to drive to warm it up, but you need to drive a certain way to do it without damaging it.

It's the new trend so deal with it. My Mazda 3 Skyactiv doesn't have a temp meter as well. When it is cold the temp indicator lights up as blue. When it warms up the indicator disappears. When it overheats it should light up as red.

For cars with temp indication you may be interested to know it is a dumbed down indication in order not to worry the owner. As long as the temp is within normal range the needle or figure won't move. It's designed to behave this way. The real temp actually varies depending on the ambient temp and traffic condition. I know because I plugged in an OBDII display. The temp varies from 86C to 96C but its at 88C most of the time during normal traffic.

Instead of this dumbed down temp display what's wrong with removing it? There is still an indication that the engine is cold. If things overheat up you get an alarm.

Different people got different perspective.. there's a reason why some car still have it some dont.. this depends on carmaker too..
If have i think is better, if not less thing to check.. most important both got indicator for it with different method..

If really important to u, u can put something that connects to OBD socket n can pop-up digital temperature gauge.. maybe costly but if it really does matter to u la

Same case with indon spec to.. different a bit, maybe Thailand also different?

should be no meter.. just indicator..
