Electricity consumption is the consump -
tion rate of the electricity when EV driv - ing is performed and equivalent to the
fuel consumption for the gasoline vehi -

Electricity consumption is the consump - tion rate of the electricity when EV driv -
ing is performed and equivalent to the
fuel consumption for the gasoline vehi - cles. For this vehicle, driven distance
per kWh of electricity consumed
(“miles/kWh”) is displ ayed as electricity consumption on each screen.
■EV driving range
●When the air cond itioning system is
operating, is displayed next to
the EV driving range and the EV driv - ing range with the air conditioning sys -

added to the tank, the display may not
be updated. When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refu -
eled without turning the power switch
