1-3. Theft deterrent system
Vehicles without a smart key system
The indicator light flashes after
the key has been removed from
the engine switch to indicate that
the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing
after the registered key has been
inserted into the engine switch to
indicate that the system has been
canceled.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The indicator light flashes after the “POWER” switch has been turned
off to indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing after the “POWER” switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY or ON mode to indicate that the system has

■ System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type immobilizer system.
■ Conditions affecting operation
Depending on the surrounding environment and conditions, the immobilizer
system may not operate properly. This may prevent the hybrid system from
starting. ( P. 140)
Immobilizer system
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent
the hybrid system from starting if a key has not been previously
registered in the vehicle’s on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi-
cle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

■ The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the brightness will be reduced slightly
unless the control dial is turned up fully.
■ Engine speed
On hybrid 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.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
This vehicle is not installed with an engine coolant temperature gauge.
Instead, is shown on the multi-information display. The engine may
be overheating if is shown on the multi-information display. In this
case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 483)

Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum 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.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position, the display may not be updated.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the “POWER” switch off. If the vehicle is refueled
without turning the “POWER” switch off, the display may not be
updated.

“ECO Savings Record”
If the fuel consumption compar-
ison is input in “ECO Savings”,
the savings history will be dis-
played. If the fuel consumption
comparison is not input, fuel
cost history will be displayed.
Fuel costs for the current
month, the last 3 months and
the same month last year are
displayed, enabling a compari-
son to be made.
If the dollar amount exceeds $ 100,
the numerical value will be dis-
played on the graph.
Charge area
Shows energy regeneration* sta-
tus. Regenerated energy will be
used to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regen-
eration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop and restart under various con-
ditions.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
Power area
Shows that the driving power is more than the upper limit of Eco driving.
(during full power driving etc.)
Keeping the indicator within Eco area can help Eco-friendly driving.

“ECO savings” settings
The gasoline price and fuel consumption comparison settings can
be set, and the screen settings can be changed between basic and
detailed.
●
To input the gasoline price, press the “DISP” (to increase) or
“TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without
a smart key system) or the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key system) after refueling, the gasoline price
input screen is automatically displayed.
●To input the fuel consumption comparison, press the “DISP” (to
increase) or “TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the fuel consumption comparison is input, the estimated savings
in fuel costs are displayed. If the fuel consumption comparison is not
input, the cost of the consumed fuel will be displayed.
■
Menu screen selection
The following screen changes
and settings can be performed:
• The eco savings record screen can be switched on or off.
• The 5 minute fuel consumption
screen can be switched on or
off.
• Past record can be reset.
• The past record screen can be

Screen off
The screen can be turned off.
The upper part of the screen is always displayed and cannot be turned
off.
When the hybrid system is turned
off, drive information data since
the system was started is dis-
played after the ending animation.
When the doors are locked, the
screen turns off.
■
The clock is displayed when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The “POWER” switch is in ON mode.
■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using cruise
control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and envi-
ronmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel consumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, drivi ng conditions and environmental fac-
tors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.

When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
● Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● Average fuel consumption
● Cruising range
● Average vehicle speed
● Driving time
● EV driving rate/EV driven distance
Additionally, some displays may return to their default settings.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
WARNING
■Eco score
Eco score should be used as a guide only. Always drive safely in accor-
dance with road and traffic conditions.
■ 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 gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the hybrid system 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 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.
