■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The instrument panel brightness levels when the tail lights are on and off can be
adjusted individually. However, when the surroundings are bright (daytime, etc.),
turning on the tail lights will not change the instrument panel brightness. At this time,
any adjustments made to the instrument panel brightness levels will be applied to
both settings at once.
■Limitation of brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel lights is automatically adjusted based on the
light sensor detecting how bright the surroundings are. However, if the instrument
panel brightness has been manually set to either the brightest or darkest setting, the
automatic adjustment will not be performed.
■ECO lamp and SPORT lamp
●When sport mode is selected, SPORT lamp (red) will illuminate.
●When all of the following conditions are satisfied and Eco-friendly driving, ECO
lamp (blue) will illuminate. (ECO lamp will become brighter the more Eco-friendly
driving you perform. Also, while the acceleration exceeds Zone of Eco driving,
ECO lamp turns off. [P. 90] However, when Eco drive mode is selected, while
the acceleration exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp does not turn off.):
• Driving with the shift lever in D
• Paddle shift switch is not operated.
• Either normal mode or Eco drive mode is selected.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or below.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of ECO lamp) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 559)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed.
●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. 5 2 7 )

■Average fuel consumption
■Average vehicle speed
■Driving range Displays the average fuel consumption since the
function was reset
• The function can be reset by pressing the “DISP”
button for longer than 1 second when the average
fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a
reference.
Displays the average vehicle speed since the
function was reset
The function can be reset by pressing the “DISP” but-
ton for longer than 1 second when the average vehicle
speed is displayed.
Displays the estimated approximate distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining
• This distance is computed based on your average
fuel consumption. As a result, the actual distance
that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the
tank, the display may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the engine switch off. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the engine switch

played while system operation is checked.
■Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display
Eco Driving Indicator will not operate in the following conditions:
●The shift lever is anything other than D.
●Paddle shift switch is operated.
●Neither normal mode nor Eco drive mode is selected. (P. 2 4 3 )
●The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or higher.
■Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct 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.)
■Setting display automatic cancelation
In the following situations, setting display in which the settings can be changed
through the “DISP” button will automatically be turned off.
●When a warning message appears while the setting display is displayed
●When the vehicle begins to move while the setting display is displayed Suggests Zone of Eco driving and Eco driving

■Tire inflation pressure (if equipped)
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire information cannot be determined due to unfavor-
able radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be
different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is character-
istic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
Setting of available languages can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 559)
CAUTION
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-
tion 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, caus-
ing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death
or injury.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that the
vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a
garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and
enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the
display features.

■Head-up display
●The head-up display may seem dark and hard to see when viewed through sun-
glasses, especially polarized sunglasses.
Adjust the brightness of the head-up display or remove your sunglasses.
●When the head-up display is turned off, it will remain off even if the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode after the engine switch has been turned off.
●The startup image will be displayed on the head-up display after the engine switch
has been turned to IGNITION ON mode while the head-up display switch is set to
on.
■When the battery is disconnected
The customize settings of the head-up display will be reset.
CAUTION
■Before using the head-up display
Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display image does not
interfere with safe driving. Incorrect adjustment of the image’s position or bright-
ness may obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to components
●Do not place any drinks near the head-up
display projector. If the projector gets wet,
electrical malfunctions may result.
●Do not place anything on or put stickers
onto the head-up display projector.
Doing so could interrupt head-up display
indications.
●Do not touch the inside of the head-up dis-
play projector or thrust sharp edges or the
like into the projector.
Doing so could cause mechanical malfunc-
tions.
