*: When used in this manual, “regen-eration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical
energy.
In the following situ ation, the Hybrid
System Indicator does not operate.
●“READY” indicator is not illumi-
nated.
●The shift position is in a range
other than D or S.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following si tuations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature 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.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the
system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Toyota
dealer.
●Displays the outside temperature
within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C).
●When the outside temperature is
approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator will flash
for approximately 10 seconds,
then stay on.
■Liquid crystal display
 P.101
■Display items
 Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehi-
cle has been driven.
 Trip meter A/trip meter B
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 independently.
WARNING
■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 shift range appearing on
the display. This lag could cause
the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive
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
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.473)
Using the “ODO TRIP”
switch

■The meters and display illumi-
nate when
The power swit ch is in ON.
■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 disp
layed may differ
even when vehicle operation and
driving conditions are the same.
■Hybrid System Indicator
Charge area
Shows regeneration
* status.
Regenerated e nergy 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 bar display 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.)
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often. The
gasoline engine will automatically
stop and restart u
nder various con-
ditions.
*: When used in this manual, regen- eration refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical
energy.
■Distance to empty
●This distance is computed based
on your average fuel consump-
tion. As a result, the actual dis-
tance 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 refuel-
ing, turn the power switch off. If
the vehicle is refueled without
turning the power switch off, the

display may not be updated.
( P.98)
●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.
■Manually updating the fuel
gauge and possible driving
range
The fuel gauge and the possible
driving range are linked. If the dis-
plays of the fuel gauge and possible
driving range do not update after
adding a small amount of fuel, the
displays can be u pdated by per-
forming the following procedure.
1 Stop the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
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 sec-
onds, and then release it once
the odometer begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the
odometer flashes for approximately
5 seconds and th en the display
returns to normal.
■Outside temperature display
●Displays the outside temperature
within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C)
●Low outside temperature indica-
tor comes on when the ambient
temperature is 37°F (3°C) or
lower.
●In the following si tuations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature 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.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the
system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Toyota
dealer.
