■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 front seat
concentrated airflow mode (S-
FLOW) ( ) 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.

■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
• Front seat concentrated airflow mode (S-FLOW)
• “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.

Indicates the estimated distance that can be driven using the c urrent
remaining hybrid battery (traction battery). ( P. 109)
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.

Operation of each component
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system, wireless remote control and immobilizer s ystem use
weak radio waves. In the following situations, the communication between
the electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart key
system, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating prop-
erly. (Ways of coping: P. 708)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio stati on, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio wav es or electrical
noise
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When other wireless key (that emit radio waves) is being used n earby
● When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wirele ss commu-
nication devices
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
● When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or ele ctronic
devices

■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.
