Efficiency leaves:Indicates short
term driving efficiency, measured
over the last few minutes. The more
leaves and vines that are displayed,
the more efficiently you’re driving.
Leaves and vines will occasionally
appear and disappear to indicate a
change in driving efficiency.
Note:The efficiency display can be
impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories as well
as environmental conditions such as terrain and weather.
History graph:Indicates average
fuel economy in 10, 20, or
60 minute intervals. You can choose
the interval using the message
center. The graph is updated each
minute with the fuel economy that
was achieved during the prior 1, 2,
or 6 minutes of driving, respectively.
Each new average will be added to
the left side of the graph, shifting
the past data to the right. When the
graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running
scroll with the bar on the left being the most recent. Note that previous
values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values
from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. The average fuel economy
since the last reset, or last 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of driving, is shown as
a horizontal line across the bar graph.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
history graph display mode.
No efficiency information:If you choose, you may turn off both the
Efficiency leaves and History Graph using the message center. In this
case, the portion of your instrument cluster devoted to this information
will be blank.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on
choosing no efficiency information.
Average fuel economy:Your average fuel economy in miles/gallon will
be displayed at the top right of your vehicle’s instrument cluster or in
liters/100 km at the lower right along with the efficiency leaves, history
graph or no display (shown previously with history graph). You may

reset this average at any time. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information on the average fuel economy display mode.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled
by amount of fuel used, your figure may be different than displayed for
the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)
To determine your average highway fuel economy, do the following:
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET button to reset the function after
setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
For more information refer toEssentials of good fuel economyin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter.
Distance to empty (DTE):Distance to Empty is displayed in the lower
right for miles or on the top right for kilometers of your vehicle’s
instrument cluster along with the efficiency, history graph or no display
(shown previously with history graph). This function will give you an
estimate of how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank
under normal driving conditions. Distance to empty will vary according
to your driving habits.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is re-initialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Turn your vehicle off when refuelling to correctly detect the amount fuel
being added and allow this feature to work correctly.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
distance to empty display mode.

Tachometer and EV mode gauge
(Enlighten instrument cluster
level only):When the gasoline
engine is running, this gauge
displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), EV is
displayed. SeeEV mode onlynext.
EV mode only (Enlighten
instrument cluster level only):
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode only, EV is
displayed.
Split power gauge (Engage
instrument cluster level only):
This gauge indicates the power
being supplied by the vehicle’s two
power sources: the high voltage
battery and the gasoline engine.
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), “EV” is
displayed.
Maximum displayed gasoline engine
power is greater than the maximum displayed battery power.

Accessory power gauge
(Empower instrument cluster
level only):This gauge indicates
electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems.
Accessories such as air conditioning,
headlights, and radio use power but
do not contribute to propelling the
vehicle. The higher the level
indication on this gauge, the more
accessory power is being used. You
can see the level of this gauge change by turning accessories on and off.
Vehicle power gauge (Empower
instrument cluster only): When
the transmission is in drive gear
only, this gauge shows you vehicle
power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to
show you how close you are to the
gasoline engine on/off threshold and
how much power you are requesting
by how much you press on the
accelerator pedal.
The red level indicator shows vehicle power demand. The more you
press on the accelerator pedal, the more power you demand of the
vehicle. The green box shows the gasoline engine on/off threshold. If
vehicle power demand is reduced, the gasoline engine will turn off when
the red level indicator moves below the green box. In this case, the
hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode and EVis displayed
at the bottom of the gauge. When the red level indicator exceeds the
threshold, the system commands the gasoline engine on (and the EV
disappears).
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control (such
as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the gasoline engine
on/off threshold (green box) disappears. When the on/off threshold box
is not displayed the gasoline engine will not turn off regardless of how
little power you demand (even lifting your foot off the accelerator).
