■The meters and display illuminate when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■ Remaining hybrid battery (tract ion battery) charge display
The charge amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is automatically
controlled by the hybrid system. For this reason, even if electricity is recov-
ered via the regenerative braking, or electricity is generated via the gasoline
engine, the displayed hybrid battery (traction battery) charge amount may not
reach the highest level (level 8). However, this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■ Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help
improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
■ Brightness of the instrument panel light
If the headlight switch is turned to ON while the surrounding area is dark, the
instrument panel lights will dim.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The fuel consumption display and average vehicle speed will be reset.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature warning
light comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 528)
■ 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 information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

■LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) vehicle sway
warning
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a lane, which is often associ-
ated with a decrease in the driver’s attention level, and displays the
decrease in attention using a bar display.
The shorter the bar length, the more the driver may need to rest.
This display is a part of the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering
control) system. The display is enabled when the operating conditions
of the vehicle sway warning function are met. (

when the vehicle is driven using
only the electric motor (traction
motor) or the gasoline engine is
stopped.

Distance to empty
• Since it is calculated based onthe average fuel consumption in
the past, it may not be the actual
distance that can be driven to be
displayed.
• When only a small amount of
fuel is added to the tank, the dis-
play may not be updated. When
refueling, turn the power switch
off. If the vehicle is refueled
without turning the power switch
off, the display may not be
updated.
Average vehicle speed after hybrid system started
Average fuel consumption after hybrid system started
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.

■System check display
After turning the power switch to ON mode, opening image is displayed while
system operation is checked. When the system check is complete, the nor-
mal screen will return.
■ Pop-up display
When a system that supports pop-up displays, such as the air conditioning
system, is operated, a pop-up display will be temporarily displayed.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The fuel consumption display and average vehicle speed will be reset.
■ 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.
■ Hybrid System Indicator
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly drivi ng range is being exceeded (during full
power driving etc.)
● By keeping the indicator 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. Charge area
Shows that energy is being recovered
via the regenerative brake.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in
an Eco-friendly manner.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is
not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically
stop and restart under various condi-
tions.
