■Display items
● Odometer
● Trip meter
● Distance to empty Displays the total distance the vehicle has been
driven.
Displays the distance the vehicle has been driven
since the meter was last reset. Trip meters A and
B can be used to record and display different dis-
tances independently.
Displays the estimate
d 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.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the “POWER” switch off. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the “POWER”

■ Eco Driving Indicator Light
Eco Driving Indicator Light will turn on when driving power is lower than the
upper limit of Eco driving. It will turn off when the acceleration exceeds the
Eco driving accelerator upper limit or when the vehicle is stopped.
Eco Driving Indicator Light will not operate in the following conditions:
● The shift position is anything other than D.
● The driving mode is set to power mode. ( P. 247)
● The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or higher.
Eco Driving Indicator Light is also displayed when 5-minute consumption, 1-
minute consumption or monthly fuel consumption record is displayed.
Eco Driving Indicator Light can be set to activated or deactivated. ( P. 277)
■ Hybrid System Indicator display when in EV mode
The movement of the bar in response to the operation of the accelerator
pedal may differ in accordance with the status of the hybrid battery (traction
battery). However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

ON mode, “welcome to PRIUS” is dis-
played while system operation is
checked. When the system check is com-

in accordance with under these condition, such as temperature setting and
inside temperature.
Also, outside air mode may be automatically switched to when the outside
temperature is low.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75 °F (24 °C) and the air condi-
tioning system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condi-
tioning system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This
may also reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
■ Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used.
