◆“Eco-Diary”
The distance traveled and average fuel consumption history can be
displayed in a table according to day (“Daily”) or month (“Monthly”)
units.

■Eco score (A/C score)
●The setting status of the following air conditioning system functions are
reflected in the score.
• Temperature setting
• Fan speed setting
• Outside air and recirculated air modes
• “A/C” button
• S-FLOW mode
• “CLIMATE CONTROL”
● The Eco score (A/C score) is evaluated according to the ambient tempera-
ture and cabin temperature. Accordingly, even if the same settings are
always used for the air conditioning system, the evaluation will change
according to such factors as the season and weather.
● When the air conditioning system is not being used or the airflow mode is
set to or , the Eco score (A/C score) is not evaluated. (While the
air conditioning system is not evaluated, its usage status is not reflected in
the total Eco score result.)
● The Eco score (A/C score) is a function that helps select an air conditio\
ning
system setting which reduces fuel consumption, not a function that satisfies
both comfortability and low fuel consumption.

■Setting items
●“Meter Customize” and “Vehicle Settings” setting items are not selectable
during driving and cannot be operated.
Also, the settings screen is temporarily canceled in the following situations.
• A warning message is displayed.
• The vehicle starts off.
● Settings for functions not equipped to the vehicle are not displayed.
● When a function is turned off, the related settings for that function are not
selectable.
■ Calendar settings
●Calendar settings contents are linked to the recorded information of “Fuel
Consumption Record (Monthly)” ( →P. 123) and “Eco-Diary” (→P. 131).
When the calendar date is changed, each record is processed as follows:
*: Month/date information not recorded is set to “0” or “0.0”.
● When the recorded contents of “Fuel Consumption Record (Monthly)” are
changed due to changing the calendar settings, the “Monthly” information of
“Eco Savings” ( →P. 128) is also changed.

data.
Also, the average fuel consumption displa yed in the multi-information display
will be reset at the same time.
■ Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with the quan-
tity 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 displayed.

Driving
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 (h eating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( →P. 318)
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( →P. 1 1 9 )
◆Shift position operation
Shift the shift position to D when st opped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the sh ift position 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 gener-
ated. Also, when using the air cond itioning system, etc., the hybrid
battery (traction batter y) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
●Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelerati on 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.
For economical and ecological driv ing, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:
