Shows the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.) or Celsius (Canada).■Adjusting the outside temperature display
Adjust the temperature reading up to ±5°F or ±3°C if the temperature reading
seems incorrect.
The fuel economy indicator changes its size while driving. The indicator shrinks with
aggressive acceleration and deceleration, and grows back bigger again as fuel
economy gets better, and the halo appears around it when driving in the most fuel
efficient style.
Keep the indicator size as big as possible.■Outside Temperature■Fuel Economy Indicator
1Outside Temperature
The temperature sensor is in the front bumper.
Road heat and exhaust from another vehicle can
affect the temperature reading when your vehicle
speed is less than 19 mph (30 km/h).
It may take several minutes for the display to be
updated after the temperature reading has stabilized.
Use the multi-information display's customized
features to correct the temperature.

Displays engine and IMA motor power flow – whether the system is assisting the
engine or charging the battery.■IMA Battery Charge Level Indicator/Power Flow Monitor
1IMA Battery Charge Level Indicator/Power Flow Monitor
The IMA battery charge level may decrease rapidly
under the following conditions:•When the 12 volt battery has been replaced.•When the IMA battery has been disconnected.•When the IMA battery control system corrects its
reading.
The charge level reading will be corrected
automatically while driving.
If the IMA battery is too hot or too cold, the battery
stops outputting power for protection when it gets
too hot or cold. This disables the hybrid system assist
and Auto Idle Stop, even though the battery is well-
charged.
It takes a short time to normalize the IMA battery’s
output power depending on the weather.
