of the vehicle into electrical 
energy.
In the following situ ation, the Hybrid 
System Indicator does not operate.
●“READY” indicator  is not illumi-
nated.
●The shift position is in a range 
other than D or S.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following si tuations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature 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

■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 
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 shift r ange appearing on 
the display. This lag could cause 
the driver to downshift again, 
causing rapid and excessive 
engine braking and possibly an 
accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if 
the engine coolant temperature 
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. ( P.670)
Using the “ODO TRIP” 
switch
