When the needle is in the blue zone, the
coolant temperature is cold. Heat may not
be available while the coolant temperature
is the blue zone.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and− go traffic.
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
 Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 317 in
Section 4.The fuel economy meter indicates the
current fuel consumption in analog
form when the engine is running. When
only the traction motor powers the ve-
hicle, the needle indicates “E MODE”.
The needle may indicate the best rate
on the meter when the engine is run-
ning but the fuel is not consumed.
The needle may indicate the best rate
on the meter when fuel consumption is
less than the indicated value.
The needle may indicate the worst rate
on the meter when fuel consumption is
more than the indicated value.

Messages
During ordinary driving, the information is
displayed. However, in case the vehicle
has a system malfunction or if there is
some information that the driver should be
informed of, a message appears on the
display. See “—Messages” on page 140
for details.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the cruise information
display, the display will automatically be
set to the initial mode.
When the instrument panel lights are
turned on, the brightness of the display
will be reduced.
At extremely low temperatures, the mul-
ti −information display may respond slow-
ly.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the
vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust
the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

Each time you push the “DISP” button,
the display toggles through the follow-
ing information.1. Outside temperature
2. Cruising range
3. Average fuel consumption after refuel- ing
4. Driving distance
5. Average vehicle speed
6. Cruise information off
7. Zoom display of odometer and trip me- ter
8. Energy monitor
9. Eco drive level
The display will return to the outside tem-
perature display with pushing and holding
the “DISP” button for 1 second.
The displayed values in the cruise infor-
mation display indicate general driving
conditions. Accuracy varies with driving
habits and road conditions.
When the “POWER” switch is set at ON,
the last previously used mode displayed
just before the “POWER” switch is turned
off will appear.

1. Outside temperature (“OUTSIDE TEMP”)
The outside temperature display indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The displayed temperature ranges from
− 40 C ( −40 F) up to 50 C (122 F).
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor, “ −−”
or “E” will appear on the display. If “ −−”
or “E” appears on the display, contact
your Toyota dealer.
There may be a case that “−−” appears
momentarily when the “POWER” switch is
quickly set to ON. It is normal if it goes
out soon. 2. Driving range
(“CRUISING RANGE”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
If the fuel gauge malfunctions, the mileage
figure will not appear.
When the vehicle is refueled, the driving
range is recalculated.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further. 3. Average fuel consumption after re-
fueling (“TANK AVG”)
Average fuel consumption after refuel-
ing is calculated and displayed based
on total driving distance and total fuel
consumption.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the dis-
played value is reset.
4. Driving distance (“SINCE START”)
The driving distance after the hybrid
system started is displayed.
Every time you turn on the hybrid system,
the driving distance display is reset. 5. Average vehicle speed (“AVG SPEED”)
Average vehicle speed is calculated and
displayed based on total driving dis-
tance and total driving time.

6. Cruise information off
The display indicates only odometer and
two trip meters.
7. Zoom display of odometer and trip meter
The odometer and one of the trip meters
are displayed simultaneously. See
“—Odometer and two trip meters” de-
scribed below. 8. Energy monitor
The operating condition of the hybrid
system appears on the display.
See “Energy monitor” on page 3 for de-
tails.
9. Eco drive level
The eco drive level is visually displayed
on the multiinformation display, and it
indicates the average fuel consumption
after the hybrid system is turned on. In
accordance with the average fuel con-
sumption, the levels are displayed as
follows:
Level 0—25 MPG or less or 9.0 L/100 km or more
Level 1—26 to 30 MPG or 8.8 to 8.0 L/100 km
Level 2—31 to 35 MPG or
7.8 to 7.0 L/100 km
Level 3—36 MPG or more or 6.8 L/100 km or lessThe brightness of the arcs around the fuel
economy meter and speedometer change
according to the eco drive level. The high-
er the fuel economy, the brighter the light
becomes.
Level 0—Does not illuminate
Level 1—Illuminates weakly
Level 2—Illuminates brightly
Level 3—Illuminates most brightly
This function works even if a display other
than the eco drive level is shown on the
multi−information display.

When the hybrid system is turned off, the
eco drive level is displayed for a few
seconds to show the average fuel con-
sumption for the most recent trip.
If the average fuel consumption is in level
3, “EXCELLENT!” is simultaneously dis-
played under the eco drive level.Normal display
Zoom display
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
Selecting the zoom display of the
odometer and trip meter when the
cruise information is displayed causes
the odometer and one of the trip me-
ters to be displayed simultaneously.1. Odometer—Shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show two different distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All
trip meter data is cancelled if the elec-
trical power source is disconnected.

3. Trip meter reset knob—Resets the twotrip meters to zero, and also change
the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the knob. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the knob until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.
