Screen off
The screen can be turned off.
The upper part of the screen is always displayed and cannot be turned
off.
When the hybrid system is turned
off, drive information data since
the system was started is dis-
played after the ending animation.
When the doors are locked, the
screen turns off.
■
The clock is displayed when
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 envi-
ronmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel consumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, drivi ng conditions and environmental fac-
tors, 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.
WARNING
■Eco score
Eco score should be used as a guide only. Always drive safely in accor-
dance with road and traffic conditions.
■ The 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.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the hybrid system 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
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.

There are 2 menu items available for the fuel consumption screen.
After pressing the “DISP” switch, select one of the menu items below
and the system will change to the details screen.
The “5min Consumption”, “Past Record” and “ECO Savings Record”
(P. 102) screens are set to off (initialized settings) at the time of
shipping. ( P. 115)
■“5min Consumption” screen
Displays the fuel consumption
history since the hybrid system
was started in intervals of 5
minutes. Current fuel consump-
tion is simultaneously dis-
played, enabling it to be
compared with fuel consump-
tion of up to the last 30 minutes.

“Past Record”
There are 2 types of displays for the past record.
Personal best and monthly average can be changed between on
the settings screen. (
P. 115)
Personal Best
Displays the best 3 fuel consumption records and the current fuel
consumption ranking.
Depending on whether the odometer or trip meter is displayed,
the displayed contents differ.
● When the odometer is displayed: the record since the hybrid
system was started is displayed.
● When the trip meter is displayed: the record since the trip
meter was reset is displayed. The record for trip meter A and
trip meter B is displayed separately.
The top 100 rankings are displayed. Records that are outside the top
100 are not displayed as a ranking.
Fuel consumption data for trips of less than 0.1 miles are not
recorded.
Monthly Average
Displays average fuel consumption by the month.
The current month, the last 3 months and the same month last year
are displayed, enabling a comparison to be made.
The past record can be reset on the settings screen. ( P. 1 1 5 )

■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 electricity 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.
■ Resetting the consumption data (audio system)
Selecting “Clear” on the “Trip Information” screen will reset the fuel consump-
tion and the regenerated energy for the past 15 minutes. Selecting “Clear” on
the “Past Record” screen will reset the past records and best past fuel con-
sumption. Selecting “Yes” on the following screen will confirm resetting of all
the data.
■ Updating the past record data (audio system)
Selecting “Update” on the “Past Record” screen will update the past record
data.
■ Menu screen selection (Multi-information display)
Press the “DISP” switch and select “Set-
tings & Screen Off”. Press and hold the
“DISP” switch while the cursor is on
“Menu Screen Selection” to change to
the settings screen.
The following screen changes and set-
tings can be performed:
• The eco savings record screen can be
switched on or off. ( P. 94)
• The 5 minute fuel consumption screen
can be switched on or off.

4-6. 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. 340)
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the needle of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 102)
◆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.
◆Accelerator 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.
