WARNING
■To prevent an accident
■ Caution for use while driving
For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch while driving as much
as possible, and do not look continuously at the multi-information display
while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switch. Failure
to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an unex-
pected accident.
NOTICE
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
Do not place anything or attach a sticker
in front of the instrument cluster. The item
may obscure or obstruct the display, or
could reflect off the display, possibly
causing an accident.

■When operation of each function stops
● The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following situations.
• The “READY” indicator is not illuminated.
• The shift position is not D or B.
● The Eco score and “ECO Accelerator Guidance” stop operating in the fol-
lowing situations.
• The Hybrid System Indicator is not operating.
• Cruise control (if equipped) or dynamic radar cruise control with full-
speed range (if equipped) is being used.
■ About the Eco score
●After starting off, Eco score display does not start until the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 12 mph (20 km/h).
● In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also evaluates the air
conditioning system usage condition ( →P. 136). The score displayed when
the hybrid system stops is the total result of the driving status after the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.
■ Predictive Efficient Drive (Predict ive Deceleration Support) (vehicles
with 11.6-inch display)
When a predictive deceleration support point registered in the navigation sys-
tem is approached, the system turns off the Eco accelerator guide and
informs the driver of releasing the accelerator pedal early.
For details about Predictive Efficient Dr ive (Predictive Deceleration Support),
refer to the “NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.

using the air conditioning sys-
tem at the appropriate setting
according to the ambient tem-
perature and number of passen-
gers and with the S-FLOW
mode ( ) and “CLIMATE
CONTROL” will result in a high
evaluation.

■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.
