Summary
In Japan the eighth Crown offered Electro Multivision with CD-based maps of the whole country, an early step towards car navigation, and upper models had a switchable 'dual-vision' meter.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
The dual-vision meter switches between a conventional speed and engine-rpm display and a simplified, reflected-image speedometer-only view meant to reduce eye fatigue.
Centre display
Electro Multivision with CD Information maps
Colour CRT map display. The driver entered the starting point by hand, and the car's position was then followed on the map.
Controls
The most-used switches are grouped at the centre of the instrument panel, and the power-seat switches are placed together so the driver can reach them without changing posture.
Facts
- The 'CD Information' function, new to Electro Multivision with this Crown, called up roughly 1,800 stored maps of Japan from compact discs.[1][5][4]
- The 1988-model Crown's Electro Multivision was a total information system that also controlled a hands-free telephone and used a compact disc as its memory.[2]
- The hardtop was replaced by the S140 in October 1991; the sedan was built until December 1995, and the wagon and van were sold until 15 December 1999.[4]
- Exports, mainly sedans, went to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean; the four-door hardtop was exported as the 3000 Royal Saloon to Hong Kong, Singapore and parts of the Middle East.[3][4]
