■ 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.
■ Pop-up display
Some functions, such as the driving mode select switch and air conditioning
system, are operation-linked and display pop-up screens on the multi-infor-
mation display. If the pop-up screens of these functions are not desired, they
can be turned off in the “Meter Customize” settings. ( P. 156)
WARNING
■To prevent an accident
■ Caution for use while driving
For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch while driving as much
as possible, and do not look continuously at the multi-information display
while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switch. Failure
to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an unex-
pected accident.
NOTICE
■ The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
Do not place anything or attach a sticker
in front of the instrument cluster. The item
may obscure or obstruct the display, or
could reflect off the display, possibly
causing an accident.

■When operation of each function stops
●The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following situations.
• 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.
• Cruise control (if equipped) or dynamic radar cruise control with full-
speed range (if equipped) is being used.
• The speed limiter system (if equipped) is being used and the vehicle
speed is approximately the limit speed or higher.
■About the Eco score
●After starting off, Eco score display does not start until the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
●In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also evaluates the air
conditioning system usage condition (P. 150). The score displayed when
the hybrid system stops is the total result of the driving status after the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.
