■Eco Indicator (Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display)
P. 96
■Speed
Displays the vehicle speed.
■Sway warning
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a lane, which is often associated with a
decrease in the driver’s at tention level, and displays the decrease in attention
using a bar display.
The shorter the bar length, the more the driver may need to rest.
This display is a part of the LDA (Lane Departure Alert) system. The display is
enabled when the operating conditions of the vehicle sway warning function are
met. ( P. 246)
■Blank screen (display off)
Drive information is not displayed.
■Front tire angle
Displays the direction of the front tires.
The tire direction is displaye d in 3 stages for both left and right, in accordance with
the angle of the tire.
If a battery terminal is disconnected an d reconnected, the display may be disabled
temporarily. After driving the vehicle for a while, the display will be enabled.
■Tire inflation pressure
Displays inflation pressure of each tire.
The inflation pressure of the spare tire will also be displayed.

■Eco Driving Indicator
●The shift lever is in any position other than D.
●Vehicles with adaptive variable suspension
system: The driving mode is set to sport
mode.
●The vehicle speed is approximately 81 mph (130 km/h) or higher.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The drive information other than the cu rrent fuel consumption will be reset.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire information cannot be determined due to unfavorable
radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■When setting up the display
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the pa rking brake, and shift the shift lever to P.
■Suspension of the settings display
In the following situations, the settings display using the meter control switches will be
suspended.
●When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
●When the vehicle begins to move
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
Eco Driving Indicator Light
During Eco-friendly ac
celeration operation
(Eco driving), the Eco Driving Indicator Light
will turn on. When the acceleration exceeds
Zone of Eco driving, or when the vehicle is
stopped, the light turns off.
Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display
Suggests the Zone of Eco driving with current
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration.
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration
If the acceleration exceeds Zone of Eco driv-
ing, the right side of Eco Driving Indicator
Zone Display will illuminate.
Zone of Eco driving
Eco Driving Indicator will not operate under the

GX460_OM_OM60R27U_(U)4-5. Using the driving support systems
• After the engine has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
• While making a left/right turn and for a few seconds after making a left/right turn
• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the camera sensor
• The vehicle is wobbling.
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or ca mera sensor is misaligned
●In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking forc e may not be obtained,
preventing the system from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively worn,
improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery surface
●Some pedestrians such as the following may not be detected by the radar sensor and
camera sensor, preventing the system from operating properly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller than approximately
6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a ra in coat, long skirt, etc.), making their sil-
houette obscure

• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel
• Pedestrians whose clothing appears to be nearly the same color or brightness as
their surroundings
• Pedestrians near walls, fences , guardrails, or large objects
• Pedestrians who are on a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc.) on the road
• Pedestrians who are walking fast
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly
• Pedestrians running out from be hind a vehicle or a large object
