Average fuel consumption
Depending on whether the odometer or trip meter is displayed, the
displayed contents differ. Use the displayed average fuel consump-
tion as a reference.
● When the odometer is displayed: the average fuel consumption
since the hybrid system was started is displayed.
● When the trip meter is displayed: the average fuel consumption
since the trip meter was reset is displayed. The average fuel
consumption for trip meter A and trip meter B is displayed sepa-
rately.
When the trip meter is reset, average fuel consumption is also reset.

screen is displayed.
“Energy Monitor”
Operating conditions of the hybrid system can be confirmed. ( P. 35)
“Drive Information”
Average speed, driving time, EV driving rate/EV driven distance, cruising
range and outside temperature (P. 331) are displayed. ( P. 190)
“ECO Score”
Evaluates the level of Eco-friendly driving and displays the results.
(P. 192)
“5min Consumption”*
Displays the average fuel consumption in intervals of 5 minutes. Current
fuel consumption is simultaneously displayed, allowing it to be compared
with previous fuel consumption rates. ( P. 39)

190 2-2. Instrument cluster
“ECO Savings”
If the price of gasoline is input, the cost of the consumed fuel according to
the driven distance is displayed. If the fuel consumption comparison is set,
the difference between the input fuel consumption and your vehicle's
actual fuel consumption is expressed as an amount of money that was
possibly saved. (P. 193)
“ECO Savings Record”*
Displays eco savings record. ( P. 194)
“Past Record”*
Displays the best 3 fuel consumption records and the current fuel con-
sumption ranking. Fuel consumption can also be displayed by the month.
(P. 40)
“Settings & Screen Off”
Operations such as changing each screen’s setting and the date/time can
be performed. ( P. 196)
*: Settings are set to off (initialized settings) at the time of shipping. (P. 199)
■ “Drive Information”
Depending on whether the odometer or trip meter is displayed, the
displayed contents of average spee d, driving time, and EV driving
rate/EV driven distance differ.
● When the odometer is displayed: the record since the hybrid sys-
tem was started is displayed.

●
When the trip meter is displayed: the record since the trip meter
was reset is displayed. The record for trip meter A and trip meter B
is displayed separately.
When the trip meter is reset, the record is also reset. ( P. 188)
Average speed
Average speed will be displayed.
Driving time
Driving time will be displayed.
EV driving rate/EV driven distance
EV driving rate and driven distance (percentage and distance
driven using just the elec tric motor [traction motor] only) will be dis-
played.
Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum di stance 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.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display
may not be updated.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position, the display may not be updated.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the “POWER” switch off. If the vehicle is refu-
eled without turning the “POWER” switch off, the display may not be

“ECO Savings”
With 2 types of displays available, the cost of the consumed fuel can
be displayed or the fuel consumption's comparison can be displayed.
Switching between basic display and detailed display can be performed
on the screen settings screen. ( P. 198)
Savings and fuel cost
If the fuel consumption comparison is input ( P. 198), the possible
savings are displayed. If the fu el consumption comparison has not
been input, your vehicle's actual fuel cost will be displayed.
Depending on whether the odometer or trip meter is displayed, the
displayed contents differ.
● When the odometer is displayed: the savings or fuel cost since
the hybrid system was started is displayed.
● When the trip meter is displayed: the savings or fuel cost since
the trip meter was reset is displayed. The savings or fuel cost for
trip meter A or trip meter B is displayed separately.
When the trip meter is reset, savings or fuel cost is also reset.
(P. 188)
“Fuel Cons. Comparison”
On the settings screen, input th e fuel consumption comparison.
(  P. 198)
The cost of consumed fuel per mile/kilometer (comparison car)
Based on the fuel consumption comparison, the calculated value is
displayed.
Basic display Detailed display

194 2-2. Instrument cluster
The cost of consumed fuel per mile/kilometer (your car)
The more fuel efficient your drivi ng is, the further left the vehicle
mark moves.
■ “ECO Savings Record”
If the fuel consumption compari-
son is input in “ECO Savings”,
the savings history will be dis-
played. If the fuel consumption
comparison is not input, fuel cost
history will be displayed.
Fuel costs for the current month,
the last 3 months and the same
month last year are displayed,
enabling a comparison to be
made.

■“ECO savings” settings
The gasoline price and fuel consum ption comparison settings can be
set, and the screen settings can be changed between basic and
detailed.
● To input the gasoline price, pr ess the “DISP” (to increase) or
“TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
smart key system) or the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles
with a smart key system) after refueling, the gasoline price input screen is
automatically displayed.
● To input the fuel consumption co mparison, press the “DISP” (to
increase) or “TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the fuel consumption comparison is input, the estimated savings in
fuel costs are displayed. If the fuel consumption comparison is not input,
the cost of the consumed fuel will be displayed.

■The clock is displayed when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The “POWER” switch is in ON mode.
■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using
cruise control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and
environmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel con-
sumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, driving conditions and environmental
factors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
● Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● Average fuel consumption
● Cruising range
● Average vehicle speed
● Driving time
● EV driving rate/EV driven distance
Additionally, some displays may return to their default settings.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
