Tr i p m e t e r
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 dis-
play different distances independently.
Press and hold the button for longer than 1 second to reset. Pressing and
holding the button while the trip meter is displayed will reset the trip meter
to “0”.

Instantaneous fuel consumption
Displays the instantaneous of fuel consumption.
• The function can be reset by pressing the button for longer than 1 sec-
ond when the instantaneous fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed instantaneous fuel consumption as a reference.

Average fuel consumption
Displays the average rate of fuel consumption.
• The function can be reset by pressing the button for longer than 1 sec-
ond when the average fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.

Driving range
Displays the estimated 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 dis-
played.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may
not be updated.
When refueling, turn the power switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles
without a smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with a smart entry &
start system). If the vehicle is refueled without turning the power switch to
the “LOCK” position or off, the display may not be updated.

Average vehicle speed
Displays the average vehicle speed since the hybrid system was
last started or the function was reset.
The function can be reset by pressing the button for longer than 1 second
when the average vehicle speed is displayed.

When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The following information data will be reset.
Average fuel consumption
Driving range
Average vehicle speed
Clock data
Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal display, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
WARNING
Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
The Multi-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 display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

Press the button on the
navigation/multimedia system.
Select “Trip information”.
Displays the average vehicle
speed since the hybrid system
was started.

Fuel consumption in the past
15 minutes
Regenerated energy in the
past 15 minutes
One symbol indicates 30 Wh. Up to 5 symbols are shown.
Displays the elapsed time since the hybrid system was started.
Resetting the consumption data
Average fuel consumption for the past 15 minutes is divided by
color into past averages and averages attained since the power
switch was last turned to ON mode. Use the displayed average fuel
consumption as a reference.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips
Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. (P. 189)
Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (P. 97)
Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. When using
the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In the N, the
gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is consumed.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

2204-6. Driving tips
Acceleration pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow-
ing down.
Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When driving
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption.
Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of elec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.

Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will consume fuel.
Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are appro-
priate for the season.
Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry-
ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause
poor fuel economy.
Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically
when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, fre-
quently driving short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly
warm up, which can lead to excess fuel consumption.
