The vehicle is being powered by the
engine, not the electric motors. This
occurs at higher speeds.
The vehicle is either at rest, or is
sharing very little power between
the Hybrid parts. This can occur at
higher speeds if the vehicle is not
speeding up or slowing down.
The vehicle is driving in electric
mode. (Power is coming from the
electric motors and not the engine).
Fuel economy screen
Your Vehicle Navigation Radio is
equipped with a fuel economy
screen. To view, press the fuel icon
control. This screen displays three pieces of information:

•Instantaneous Fuel Economy
(IFE):The IFE is displayed on
the vertical bar on the left of the
screen ranging from 0 mpg up to
MAX, which indicates excellent
fuel economy. Your vehicle must
be moving to calculate
instantaneous fuel economy.
When the vehicle is not moving,
the IFE function will display no
bar on the IFE graph indicating 0
mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this
function will display MAX. IFE cannot be reset.
•Average Fuel Economy (AFE):The AFE is displayed on the white
bar across the graph. The AFE will be retained when the key is turned
OFF, and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing
RESET will reset the AFE to zero.
•One minute average graph:The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the average fuel economy bar will
retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation System has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy Screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/100KM. In Consumption (L/100KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter.
Audio features
Your Vehicle Navigation Radio has many features including a full range of
audio functions.

With this feature, radio volume changes automatically with vehicle speed
to compensate for road and wind noise. To engage the AVC feature:
1. Press the MENU control.

AM/FM select in CD mode
Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.
Radio reception factors:
•Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
•Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
•Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
AM/FM select in navigation mode
Press once when in navigation mode to return to the audio screen (while
the navigation function continues to work in the background). Press
again to enter AM/FM mode where you are able to make frequency band
adjustments.
CD select
To begin CD play (if a CD is already
loaded), press the CD control. The
first track of the disc will begin
playing. After that, CD play will
begin where it stopped last. Press the CD control again to toggle
between CD and CD DJ modes.
If a navigation CD is in the head unit and you press CD, the system will
automatically search for an audio CD in the CD DJ and begin play if it is
present.

Radio station memory preset
The radio is equipped with six station memory preset controls. These
controls can be used to select up to six preset AM stations and twelve
FM stations (six in FM1 and six in FM2).
The presets will also allow you to access CDs which are loaded in the CD
DJ. When in CD mode, simply press the preset number which
corresponds to the desired disc.
Setting memory preset stations

2. Select a station. Refer toTune adjustorSeek functionfor more
information on selecting a station.
3. Press and hold a memory preset
control until PRESET SAVED
appears on the display.
Autoset memory preset
Autoset allows you to set strong radio stations without losing your
original manually set preset stations. This feature is helpful on trips
when you travel between cities with different radio stations.
Starting autoset memory preset
1. Select a frequency band using the AM/FM select controls.
2. Press the AUTO control.
3. When the first six strong stations
are filled, the station stored in
memory preset control 1 will start
playing.
If there are less than six strong
stations available on the frequency
band, the remaining memory preset
controls will all store the last strong station available.

CD DJ playback
With a navigation CD inserted into
the audio unit, press CD for CD DJ
playback. Without a navigation CD
inserted into the audio unit, press
CD until CD DJ appears in the display.
If playback is selected and the CD DJ is empty or the magazine is
missing or incorrectly inserted, NO DISC (S) will appear in the display.
If the selected CD is missing, NO DISC is displayed and the unit selects
the next available disc. The audio unit remembers which discs are
available, so it will not select a disc that it knows is missing. Instead, NO
DISC appears in the display and the current disc remains selected.
If the selected CD is damaged or upside down, CHECK DISCS and the
disc number are displayed. The unit then selects the next available disc.
During normal operations, CDs and tracks are played sequentially in
ascending order. Playback continues at track one if the end of a disc is
reached and with CD DJ playback, disc one will follow disc six.
Rewind/fast forward feature

to engage or disengage the
compression feature.
Navigation features
The route guidance navigation system in your audio unit will not function
unless a navigation CD is inserted.
Ensure that you follow highway code restrictions and do not take
any risks. For example, if you are unable to make a U-turn,
continue on your journey. The navigation system will recalculate
your route to get you back to an appropriate road to your
destination.
For road safety reasons, information should only be entered
when the vehicle is stationary.
