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

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. 200)
Savings and fuel cost
If the fuel consumption comparison is input ( P. 200), the possible
savings are displayed. If the fu el consumption comparison has not

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. 190)
“Fuel Cons. Comparison”

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.
If the dollar amount exceeds $ 100,
the numerical value will be dis-
played on the graph.

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.

206 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the hybrid system is
started and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
For type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the
switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Light reminder buzzer
Vehicles without a smart key system
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC”
position and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on.
Vehicles with a smart key system
A buzzer sounds when the “POWER” switch is turned off or turned to
ACCESSORY mode and the driver's door is opened while the lights are
turned on.
■ Battery-saving function
In the following conditions, the remaining lights will go off automatically after
20 minutes in order to prevent the vehicle battery from being discharged:
●The headlights and/or tail lights are on.
● The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without a smart key system) or the “P OWER” switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY mode or turned off (vehicles with a smart key system).
This function will be canceled in any of the following situations:
● 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 (vehi-
cles with a smart key system).
● When the light switch is operated.
● When the door is opened or closed.

Cargo and luggage
Capacity and distributionCargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capa city) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 
(1)Locate the statement “The co mbined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's
placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5  150) =
650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Take notice of the following information about storage precau-
tions, cargo capacity and load:
● Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever
possible.
● Be sure all items are secured in place.
● To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage
evenly within the luggage compartment.
● For better fuel economy, do no t carry unnecessary weight.
