Up to 2 of the following items can be
selected.
Items displayed can be switched by
pressing or of the meter con-
trol switches to select and pressing
or .
 Current fuel consumption*1
Displays the current rate of fuel consump-
tion
 Average fuel economy (after
reset*2/after start/after refuel)*1
Displays the average fuel consumption
since the function was reset, the engine
was started, and the vehi-
cle was refueled, respectively
Use the displayed average fuel consump-
tion as a reference.
 Average speed (after reset*2/after
start)*1
Displays the average vehicle speed since
the function was reset and the engine
was started, respectively
 Elapsed time (after reset*2/after
start)*1
Displays the elapsed time since the func-
tion was reset and the engine tem> was started, respectively
 Distance (range/after start)*1
Displays the estimated maximum distance
that can be driven with the quantity of fuel
remaining and the distance driven after the
engine was started
respectively.
• 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.
• When only a small amount of fuel is
added to the tank, the display may not be
updated.
When refueling, turn the engine switch
off. If the vehicle is refu-
eled without turning the engine switch
off, the display may not
be updated.
*1: Displayed when the item is set in “Drive
Info 1” and “Drive Info 2”.
*2: The function can be reset by pressing
“OK” of the meter control switches for
longer than 1 second when the item to
reset is displayed.
If there is more than one item that can
be reset, the item selection screen will
appear.

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions. In addition, the
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy.
( P.242)
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicate of Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( P.86)
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position
to P when parking. When using the N
position, there is no positive effect on
fuel consumption. In the N position, the
gasoline engine operates but electric-
ity cannot be generated. Also, when
using the air conditioning system, etc.,
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed.
 Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion 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 acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes gently
and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

4-6. Driving tips
Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.
