■Hybrid System IndicatorCharge area
Shows regeneration* status.
Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power
is not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automati-
cally stop and restart under various
conditions.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the bar display within
Eco area, more Eco-friendly driv-
ing can be achieved.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving
range is being exceeded (during full
power driving etc.)
*: When used in this manual, regen- eration refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical
energy.
■Engine speed
On hybrid electric vehicles, engine
speed is precisely controlled in
order to help improve fuel efficiency
and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine
speed that is displayed may differ
even when vehicle operation and
driving conditions are the same.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following sit uations, the cor-
rect outside temperature may not
be displayed, or the display may
take longer than normal to
change:
• When stopped, or driving at low
speeds (less than 12 mph [20
km/h])
• When the outside temperature
has changed suddenly (at the
entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel,
etc.)
●When “--” or “E” i s displayed, the
system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Toyota
dealer.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may
appear on the display. This phenom-
enon is characteristic of liquid crys-
tal displays, and there is no problem
continuing to use the display.

WARNING
■The information display at
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before u sing the liquid
crystal informat ion display. At
extremely low temperatures, the
information display monitor may
respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new gear number appearing
on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly
an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
●Do not let the i ndicator needle
of the tachomete r enter the red
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone
(H). In this case, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it
has cooled completely.
