The meters and display illuminate when
The power switch is in ON mode.
Hybrid System Indicator
Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is in other than the
sport mode.
By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can
be achieved.
Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy
created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Tachometer (if equipped)
The tachometer is displayed when the driving mode is in the sport mode.
ECO lamp and SPORT lamp (if equipped)
When sport mode is selected, the SPORT lamp (red) will illuminate.
When all of the following conditions are satisfied and the Eco-friendly driving,

• Driving with the shift position in D
• Either normal mode or Eco drive mode is selected, and EV drive mode is not
in use (P. 201, 265)
• The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (80 mph) or below. Power area

Driving

About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply
engine braking.
• When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-
fueled vehicles, the engine braking deceleration is felt less than that of other
vehicles.
• The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven continuously in the B position, fuel efficiency will
become low. Usually, select the D position.
When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control activated
Even if switching the driving mode to sport mode with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or
dynamic radar cruise control will not be canceled.
Automatically P position selection function
When the shift position is in a position other than P, pressing the power switch
with the vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to change to P
automatically, and then the power switch will turn off.
If the shift position cannot be shifted from P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt
battery in this situation. (P. 623)
After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
P. 507
Customization
Settings (e.g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.

Driving mode select switch
Normal mode
Eco drive mode
Suitable for improving the fuel econ-
omy, because the torque correspond-
ing to the accelerator pedal
depression amount can be generated
more smoothly than it is in normal
conditions and the operation of the
air conditioning system (heating/
cooling) will be minimized.
When the driving mode select switch is turned left, the “ECO MODE” indica-
tor comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.
Sport mode
Use when high levels of response and feeling are desirable, such as when driv-
ing in mountainous regions or when overtaking.
When the driving mode select switch is turned right, the “SPORT MODE”
indicator comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air
conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency (P. 450, 457). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the power switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.
The driving modes can be selected to suit driving conditions.
