How It Works
T I R E P R E S S U R E M O N I T O R I N G S Y S T E M ( T P M S )
Monitors the vehicle’s tire pressures.
When the tire pressure drops
significantly below recommended
levels, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on and CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE appears on the
MID.
If there is a problem with the
system, CHECK TPMS SYSTEM
appears on the MID. See a dealer.
What to Do
\f. Visually inspect the tires for
damage.
2. Use a tire air pressure gauge to
check which tire(s) have low
pressure.
3. Inflate the tire(s), if necessary,
to the recommended pressures
listed on the label on the
driver’s doorjamb.

Select one of three different modes of driving styles.\F
Driving Modes
Normal Mode
• Achieves the best balanceof driving performance
and fuel economy.
• This is the default mode\F at engine start.
• Ambient meter changes from blue to green.
Sport Mode
• \fnhanced steering,handling, and
performance response.
• Reduced fuel economy.
• Ambient meter turns red.
Econ Mode
• Fuel economy is prioritized over engine
response and climate
control.
• Ambient meter changes from blue to
green.
When a mode is
selected, a message
briefly appears on the
MID and the mode
indicator turns on.
\f \b U S S \f O R T S Y S T E M
Helps the vehicle briefly accelerate by increasing power and electric motor assist\F
when you depress the gas pedal. Works in any driving mode.

How It Works
When the vehicle speed is over 20 mph and the IMA \Fbattery charge level shows at
least four segments, the Plus Sport System indicator appears. The system is now
ready for activation.
Activating the System
1. When the Plus Sport System indicator is on, press the S+ button.
2. S+ begins to blink. Depress the gas
pedal to activate the syst\Fem. \b. S+
blinks, R\fADY disappears, and the
ambient meter turns red when the
system is in operation.
4. To cancel the system during operation, release the gas pedal or
press the S+ button again.

Activating the ECON Mode
Note\fWhen turned on, performance of the vehicle’s engine, transmission, cruise
control, and air conditioning system are adjusted to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.
\f. Press the ECON mode button.
2. The ECON mode indicator
comes on.
3. Check the MID.
4. Presseither INFO (p/q)

ECO Assist Scoring
Monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts results
into leaves, which are displayed in a series of five “plant” icons on the MID.
Once you start your vehicle, make sure the MID shows the Ecological Drive
Display on the display to view your Eco Assist score in real time.
As you drive, you earn leaves if you
drive in a fuel\befficient manner, or
lose them if you drive inefficiently.
When you turn the ignition
off, your drive cycle and
lifetime score are displayed
on the MID.
Eco Score
Each time you reach
a new stage, a Stage
Up Recognition icon
briefly appears on
the MID. When you
reach the highest
ranking, a trophy
icon briefly appears.

duration varies depending on the selected drive mode, ambient conditions, and IMA
battery condition. See your Owner’s Manual for more information.
How It Works
IMA Gauge
Shows when the IMA motor is assisting the engine or charging the battery.
Note: IMA assist may not operate in extreme temperatures, or if the battery is low on charge.
