played.
• While the trip meter is being dis- played, the average fuel con-
sumption will be displayed in
accordance with the trip meter
distance from the last reset.
• The function can be reset by pressing the TRIP button for longer than 1 second when the average fuel consumption is displayed on the trip
meter.
Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.
The brightness of the instrument cluster lights can be adjusted by 4
steps each time the button is pressed.
The reduced brightness can be canceled by pressing and holding the but-

• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consump- tion.
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 dis- play may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refu-

Remaining hybrid battery (tract ion battery) charge display
The charge amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is automatically
controlled by the hybrid system. For this reason, even if electricity is recov-
ered via the regenerative braking, or el ectricity is generated via the gasoline
engine, the displayed hybrid battery (traction battery) charge amount may not
reach the highest level (level 8). However, this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■ Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help
improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
■ Brightness of the instrument panel light
If the headlight switch is turned to ON while the surrounding area is dark, the
instrument cluster lights will dim.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The fuel consumption display and average vehicle speed will be reset.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature warning
light comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( →P. 444)
■ The trip information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

Distance to empty
• Since it is calculated based onthe average fuel consumption in
the past, it may not be the actual

• When only a small amount of fuel
is added to the tank, the display
may not be updated. When refu-
eling, turn the power switch off. If
the vehicle is refueled without
