and dark (night mode) can be adjusted in dividually. However, when in day mode,
adjusting the brightness level will also ch ange the brightness level of night mode.
●Clock, air conditioning temperature display and switch lights:
The brightness level of the clock, air conditioning temperature display and switch
lights are linked with the brightness level of meter night mode.
■Light dimmer control (Changing to night mode)
The brightness level of the meter, clock and air conditioning temperature display
lights will change to night mode only wh en the surroundings are dark and the tail
lights are on.
■Automatic adjustment of the brightness level of the meters

■Hybrid System Indicator
●Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is other than the sport
mode.
●By keeping the indicator needle within Ec o area, more Eco-friendly driving can be
achieved.
●Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the battery.
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
■ECO lamp and SPORT lamp
●When all of the following conditions are satisfied and Eco-friendly driving is being
performed, ECO lamp (blue) will illuminate. (ECO lamp will become brighter the
more Eco-friendly your driving is. Also, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceler-
ation exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp turns off. ( P. 103) However, when
Eco drive mode is selected, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceleration
exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp does not turn off.):
• Driving with the shift lever in D.
• Normal mode, comfort mode or Eco dr ive mode is selected, and EV drive
mode and snow mode is not in use.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or below.
●When sport mode is selected, SPORT lamp (red) will illuminate. Charge area

There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even when vehi-
cle operation and driving conditions are the same.
■Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to change.
●When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
●When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a
garage, tunnel, etc.)
