When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC or
off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be
displayed, however, pressing the selector
can inadvertently switch the trip meters or
reset them during an approximate ten-
minute period in the following cases:
After the ignition is switched to off from
ON. After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.
For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
(Vehicles with type B audio)
If the fuel economy data is reset using
the fuel economy monitor, or trip A
is reset using the trip meter when the
function which synchronizes the fuel
economy monitor and the trip meter is
on, the fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on page
4-69. Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles). The trip record will be erased when:
The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
*Some models.
Active Driving Display*
Optical receiver
Mirror
Combiner
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually.
Fingerprints on the display will make it difficult to view and using excessive force when
operating it could cause damage.
Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving display
may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage. Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed
on the active driving display, it could cause damage. Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the
combiner as they will cause interference. A sensor is int
egrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered,
the display's luminosity will lower making the display difficult to view. Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
NOTE
It may be difficult to view the display when wearing sunglasses. Take off your sunglasses
or adjust the luminosity. If the battery has been removed and re-installed or the battery voltage is low, the adjusted
position may deviate. The display may be difficult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions such as
rain, snow, light, and temperature. If the audio system is removed, the active driving display cannot be operated.

i-ELOOP
*Some models.
i-ELOOP *
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use
engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the power
generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery (capacitor
and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the battery and the vehicle's
electrical devices.
y A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator whic\
h converts
the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity ef ¿ ciently according to the
vehicle conditions.
y A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be utilized
quickly.
y A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity\
to voltage
useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.
