Hybrid-related information in theinstrument panel
Different types of information will be displayed inthe instrument panel, depending on the drivemode selected. These drive modes offer uniqueways of helping the driver achieve the best pos-sible driving economy.
The vehicle also stores driving statistics that canbe viewed in the form of a bar graph.
Hybrid-unique symbols
The various gauges and indicators in the instru-ment panel show the relationship between theelectric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining power available.
Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A hollow sym-bol means that the electric motor isnot being used.
Indicates the output level when thegasoline engine starts. A solid symbolindicates that the gasoline engine isbeing used.

The hybrid gauge
Available electric motor output
This hybrid battery indicator is located betweenthe hybrid gauge and the fuel gauge on the lowerright side of the instrument panel. It indicates thecurrent (charge level) remaining in the hybrid bat-tery, which can be used to power the electricmotor or to heat/cool the vehicle.

Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1.Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safelyout of traffic and away from steel structuresand high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
•For best calibration results, switch off allelectrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
•Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, pressand hold the button on the underside of mir-ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

5.Wait until C is again displayed in the mirroror hold the button on the underside of mirrorfor approx. 6 seconds until C is displayed inthe mirror.
6.Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no morethan 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis-played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.
7.Vehicles with an electrically heated wind-shield:* if C is displayed when the heatingfunction is activated, perform step 6 with theheating function on.

When the camera no longer detects the head-lights of an approaching vehicle or the taillightsof a vehicle ahead, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds.
Operation
Activate/deactivate this function by turning the

When released, the ring will automatically return
to the position.
If the active high beam function has not beenactivated, switching between high and low beamsmust be done manually.
A white symbol () in the instrument panelindicates that the function has been activated.
When the high beams are on, the symbol willchange to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the cam-era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
•Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If a message is displayed in the instru-ment panel saying that active highbeams are temporarily unavailable,switching between high and low beamswill have to be done manually. However, the light
switch can remain in the position. Thesame applies if a message saying that the wind-shield sensors are blocked and the symbol above
