●By keeping the indicator within Eco area, more Eco-friendly dri v-
ing can be achieved.
● Charge area indicates regeneration
*4 status. Regenerated
energy will be used to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*1: Not displayed on the sub-screen or head-up display.
*2: Not displayed on the sub-screen.
*3: The EV indicator function can be turned off in the “Meter Cust omize”
settings. ( P. 241)
*4: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical e nergy.

“ECO Accelerator Guidance”
A blue zone is displayed in the Eco area which can be used as a
reference operation range for using the accelerator pedal according
to driving conditions such as starting off and cruising.
The “ECO Accelerator Guidance” display changes according to the driv-
ing status, such as when starting off or cruising.
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly manner by driving according to the
display showing the accelerator pedal operations and staying wi thin the
“ECO Accelerator Guidance” range. ( P. 316)
The “ECO Accelerator Guidance” function can be turned off in the
“Meter Customize” settings. ( P. 241)

■When operation of each function stops
● The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following si tuations.
• 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.
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is being us ed.
■ Display of the remaining hyb rid battery (traction battery)
● The current amount of the remaining hybrid battery (traction ba ttery) is dis-
played in the Hybrid System Indicator or the sub-screen on the main display.
( P. 210)
• The remaining battery for EV driving in EV mode is displayed i n green,
and the remaining battery used in HV mode is displayed in blue.
• The amount of the remaining battery displayed decrease as the vehicle is
driven and increase when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged,
electrical energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking (P. 92)
or electricity is generated by the gasoline engine.
• If the remaining battery is not displayed in green, HV mode is automati-
cally selected and EV mode cannot be used. To enable EV driving ,
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery). ( P. 108)
● The amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) in HV mode is automati-
cally controlled by the hybrid system. The amount of remaining hybrid battery
(traction battery) in HV mode may not reach the top line
* even if electrical
energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking ( P. 92) or electricity
is generated by the gasoline engine. However, this does not ind icate a mal-
function. Also, even if the display of the remaining hybrid bat tery (traction
battery) exceeds the top line, the display is shown in blue unt il the vehicle
returns to EV mode.
*: The position of the boundary line between EV mode and HV mode on the
display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Depending on the charging situation, when the display of the re maining
hybrid battery (traction battery) is shown during charging, cha rging contin-
ues even after the display of the remaining hybrid battery (tra ction battery)
shows a fully charged state. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
Please wait until charging is finished. The hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged

■Eco score (A/C score)
The current air conditioning system usage status is evaluated i n 5
levels to determine whether it is Eco-friendly.
The evaluation changes according to the air conditioning system
usage status. When the power switch is turned off, the current total
driving score
*1 and advice*2 related to using the air conditioning
system are displayed. ( P. 1 9 2 )
Low score

High score
Avoiding excessive use of the
air conditioning system and
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.
