Hybrid System Indicator

The display changes according to accelerator pedal operation and
displays the current driving status and energy regeneration status.

The Hybrid System Indicator can be displayed on the sub-screen of the
main display (



P. 122) and the head-up display (if equipped) 

(



P. 158).

■

How to read the display

Charge area

Shows that energy is being recovered via the regenerative charging.

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is being exceeded (during full
power driving etc.)

Hybrid Eco area

*

1

Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often.
The  gasoline  engine  will  automatically  stop  and  restart  under  various
conditions.

“ECO Accelerator Guidance”

A blue zone is displayed in the
Eco area which can be used as
a reference operation range for
using  the  accelerator  pedal
according  to  driving  conditions
such  as  starting  off  and  cruis-
ing.

The  “ECO  Accelerator  Guid-
ance”  display  changes  accord-
ing to the driving status, such as
when starting off or cruising.
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly manner by driving according to the
display showing the accelerator pedal operations and staying within the
“ECO Accelerator Guidance” range. (

Eco score

The driving status for the following 3 situations are evaluated in 5
levels:  Smooth  start-off  acceleration  (“Eco-Start”),  driving  without
sudden  acceleration  (“Eco-Cruise”)  and  smooth  stopping  (“Eco-
Stop”). Each time the vehicle is stopped, a score result is displayed
out of a perfect score of 100 points.

Score result
“Eco-Start” status
“Eco-Cruise” status
“Eco-Stop” status

How to read the bar display:

*

: For items not currently evaluated, the display reads 0.

●

The Eco score is reset each time the vehicle starts off to start a new
evaluation.

●

When  the  shift  position  is  P,  only  the  Eco  score  display  area  is
enlarged and displayed. When the shift position is shifted from P,
the display returns to normal.

●

When  the  hybrid  system  stops,  the  current  total  score  result  and
advice on how to increase the score are displayed. (

When operation of each function stops

●

The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following situations.
• The “READY” indicator is not illuminated.
• The shift position is not D or B.

●

The Eco score and “ECO Accelerator Guidance” stop operating in the fol-
lowing situations.
• The Hybrid System Indicator is not operating.
• Cruise  control  (if  equipped)  or  dynamic  radar  cruise  control  with  full-

speed range (if equipped) is being used.

■

About the Eco score

●

After  starting  off,  Eco  score  display  does  not  start  until  the  vehicle  speed
exceeds approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).

●

In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also evaluates the air
conditioning system usage condition (



P. 148). The score displayed when

the  hybrid  system  stops  is  the  total  result  of  the  driving  status  after  the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.

About drive status display

●

Indicates the drive status of each wheel by the number of bars based on the
driving conditions and AWD system.

●

When the drive power to each wheel is large, the number of bars increases,
and when the drive power is small the number of bars decreases.

●

When the number of bars to the rear wheels is small, the system determines
that stable driving is being performed and the AWD function is suppressed
to increase fuel economy.
