3 3-1. Instrument cluster
Vehicle status information and indicators
Automatically adjusts the time by using the GPS time information (GPS clock).
For details, refer to “Multimedia owner’s manual”.
Fuel gauge
Displays the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
SOC (State of Charge) gauge
Displays the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery.
When the gauge is in the green zone, EV driving is possible. When the gauge is in
the blue zone, EV driving is no longer possible (in this situation, the vehicle switches
to HV mode). Charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) to allow EV driving.
Odometer, trip meter and instrument cluster light control display
Odometer:
Displays the total distance that the vehicle has been driven
Trip meter:
Displays the distance the vehicle has been driven since the meter was last reset.
Trip meters A and B can be used to record and display different distances inde-
pendently.
Instrument cluster light control:
Displays the brightness of the instrument cluster lights that can be adjusted.

■Hybrid System Indicator
The display contents of the Hybrid Sys-
tem Indicator are different in EV mode
and HV mode.
READY OFF area
Shows that the hybrid system is not
operating.
Charge area
Shows regeneration
* status. Regener-
ated energy will be used to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in
an Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the indicator needle within
Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can
be achieved.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range
is being exceeded (during full power
driving etc.)
EV driving area (EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode)
Shows that the vehicle is driven using
only the electric motor (traction motor).
Hybrid Eco area (HV mode)
Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically
stop and restart under various condi-
tions.
*: When used in this manual, “regenera-
tion” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of
the vehicle into electrical energy.
In the following situation, the Hybrid
System Indicator does not operate.
●“READY” indicator is not illuminated.
●The shift lever is in a range other than
D or S.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer
than normal to change.
• When stopped (including when using
“My Room Mode”), or driving at low
speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
• When the outside temperature has

WARNING
■The information display at low
temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-
tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display moni-tor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new shift
range appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-shift again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●The engine may be overheating if “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P.578)

cisely controlled in order to help improve
fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emis-
sions etc.
There are times when the engine speed
that is displayed may differ even when
vehicle operation and driving conditions
are the same.

■Hybrid System Indicator is dis-
played when
The Hybrid System Indicator is dis-
played in the following situations:
●The shift position is in D or S.
●The hybrid system is started.
■SOC (State of Charge) gauge
Displays the current amount of charge
remaining in the traction battery.
●The remaining battery for EV driving
in EV mode is displayed in green, and
the remaining battery used in HV
mode is displayed in blue.
●The amount of the remaining battery
displayed decrease as the vehicle is
driven and increase when the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is charged,
electrical energy is regenerated using
the regenerative braking (P.90) or
electricity is generated by the gasoline
engine.
●If the remaining battery is not dis-
played in green, HV mode is automat-
ically selected and EV mode cannot
be used. To enable EV driving, charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
(P.106)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
for EV mode is not remaining
■Distance to empty
●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
power switch off. If the vehicle is refu-
eled without turning the power switch
off, the display may not be updated.
●When “Refuel” is displayed, the
remaining fuel amount is low and the
distance that can be driven with the
remaining fuel cannot be calculated.
Refuel immediately.
■EV driving range
●When the air conditioning system is
operating, is displayed next to
the EV driving range and the EV driv-
ing range with the air conditioning sys-
tem on is displayed.
●The EV driving range may shorten
even when not driving due to power
consumption by the system.
●For details, refer to “EV driving range”

■Manually updating the fuel gauge
and possible driving range
The fuel gauge and the possible driving range are linked. If the displays of the
fuel gauge and possible driving range do not update after adding a small amount of fuel, the displays can be
updated by performing the following pro- cedure.
1 Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
2 Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to change the odometer and trip meter
display to odometer.
3 Turn the power switch off.
4 While pressing and holding the “ODO TRIP” switch, turn the power switch to ON.
5 Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”
switch for approximately 5 seconds, and then release it once the odome-ter begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the odometer flashes for approximately 5 seconds and then the display returns to normal.
■Outside temperature display
●Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°C (-40°F) to
60°C (140°F).
●When the outside temperature is
approximately 3°C (37°F) or lower,
the indicator will flash for approxi-
mately 10 seconds, then stay on.
●In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis- played, 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.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the sys-tem may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer.

■Customization
The gauges and meters can be custom-
ized on of the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.211)
WARNING
■The information display at low
temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-
tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information dis-play 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, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possi-bly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine
and its components
The engine may be overheating if
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-information dis-
play. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled com-
pletely. ( P.578)
