■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 electricity and fuel consumption, not a func-
tion that satisfies both comfortability and low fuel consumption.

Hybrid System Indicator ( →P. 210)
The display contents of the Hybrid System Indicator are different in EV
mode and HV mode.
EV driving range
Indicates the estimated distance that can be driven using the current
remaining hybrid battery (traction battery). ( →P. 100)
When the air conditioning system is operating, the driving range with the
air conditioning system on is displayed.
The EV driving range may shorten even when not driving due to power
consumption by the system.
Insert display ( →P. 2 4 2)
This display inserts information from each driving support system accord-
ing to driving conditions.
Route guidance display ( →P. 243)
This display is automatically shown when the navigation system is per-
forming route guidance.

■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the hybrid system
is started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch in the
/ / position. (Illuminate dimmer than the headlights.) Day-
time running lights are not designed for use at night.
For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the
headlight switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after a door is opened and closed if the power switch is turned to
ACCESSORY mode or turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if on
the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode, or turn th\
e light
switch (U.S.A. [type A]), or (U.S.A. [type B]) or
(Canada) once and then back to or . The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
Air conditioning operation may also be
interrupted.

Driving
Normal mode
Suitable for normal driving.
When normal mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” and “PWR MODE”
indicators turn off.
Power mode
Suitable for when crisp handling and enhanced accelerator
response are desired, such as when driving on mountainous roads.
When power mode is selected, the “PWR MODE” indicator will illumi-
nate on the main display.
Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving that improv es fuel economy by generating
torque in response to accelerator pedal operations more smoothly
than in normal mode.
When Eco drive mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi-
nate on the main display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically
switches to air conditioning eco mode (→P. 490, 501), allowing for driv-
ing that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ The driving mode after turning the power switch off
The driving mode will not be changed automatically until the switch is
pressed, even if the power switch is turned off.

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle befo\
re
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is wi thin the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( →P. 422, 423)
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
●Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after driving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected even after it
has left the side sensor detection area. Obstacle
