■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 6 )
Low score
*3
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.
*1: The Eco score (A/C score) is not evaluated for approximately 1 minute after the power switch is turned to ON mode.
*2: This advice may not be displayed depending on the situation.
*3: For items not evaluated with an Eco score (A/C score), the displayreads 0.

●When the air conditioning system
switches are operated to change the air
conditioning settings while a screen
other than the air conditioning system
settings screen is displayed on the multi-
information display, a pop-up display for
the air conditioning settings contents is
displayed. However, air conditioning
system settings cannot be changed on
the pop-up display.

■Eco score (A/C score)
●The setting status of the following air conditioning system fun ctions 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 setti ngs 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 n ot reflected in
the total Eco score result.)
● The Eco score (A/C score) is a function that helps select an ai r conditioning
system setting which reduces electricity and fuel consumption, not a func-
tion that satisfies both comfortability and low fuel consumptio n.

When the air conditioning system is operating, the driving rang e with the
air conditioning system on is displayed.
The EV driving range may shorten even when not driving due to p ower
consumption by the system.

This display inserts information from each driving support syst em accord-
ing to driving conditions.

Driving
■Daytime running light system
●The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the head-
lights, and illuminate dimmer than the headlights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the , , or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, eve n if the park-
ing brake is set again.
● For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by ope rating the
switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running ligh t system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
Air conditioning operation may also be
interrupted.

5-5. Using the driving support systems
Normal mode
Suitable for normal driving.
When normal mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” and “PWR MODE”
indicators turn off.
Power mode
Suitable for when crisp handling and enhanced accelerator
response are desired, such as when driving on mountainous roads .
When power mode is selected, the “PWR MODE” indicator will illu mi-
nate on the main display.
Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving that impro ves fuel economy by generating
torque in response to accelerator pedal operations more smoothl y
than in normal mode.
When Eco drive mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi-
nate on the main display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically
switches to air conditioning eco mode (P. 503, 514), allowing for driv-
ing that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ The driving mode after turning the power switch off
The driving mode will not be changed automatically until the switch is
pressed, even if the power switch is turned off.

■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and disp lay. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( P. 435, 436)
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
●Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scann ing the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after driving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected e ven after it
has left the side sensor detection area. Obstacle
