■Driving range
■Average fuel consumption after refueling
■Current fuel consumption
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can
be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
This distance is computed based on your average fuel
consumption. As a result, the actual distance that can be
driven may differ from that displayed.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
vehicle was last refueled.
Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.
Display items can be switched
by pushing the “DISP” switch.

The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch
for longer than one second when the average vehicle
speed is displayed.
■System check display
The “HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE” message is displayed 3 seconds after the

When driving
Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
Intuitive parking assist uses sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to
detect the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles, and informs the
driver of this distance using the mult i-information display, the touch screen,
and warning beeps.

The system may be used at speeds less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Sensor types
Dual sensors
There are 4 sensors installed in the front bumper, two in the center section
to detect obstacles directly ahead, an d one in each corner of the bumper,
to detect obstacles in those areas. 
The dual sensors detect obstacles ahea d of the v
ehicle, and judge whether
avoidance maneuvers are necessary (whether the obstacle will come
within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the vehicle), according to the distance between
the obstacle and the vehicle, and the steering wheel position. The screen
display and beeps will change accordingly.
Rear corner sensors
These sensors detect obstacles around the rear corners of the vehicle.
Back sensors
These sensors detect obstacles behind the vehicle.

Display distance and beeps
When the intuitive parking assist is activated, the approximate distance to
the obstacle is displayed. Also, if an obstacle with which a collision is pos -
sible is detected, a warning beep will sound.
