Energy monitor

The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.
When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light is not displayed.

Gasoline engine
Electric motor 
(traction motor)
Hybrid battery 
(traction battery)
Tire
Bright point of light showing
the flow of energy

As an example, all arrows are shown in the illustration, but the actual con-
tents of the display will differ.

(Display example)

●

When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged, the
bright point of light moves towards 

.

●

During driving, the bright point of light moves from 

 or 

 (or

both depending on the situation) towards 

.

*

●

During driving, the image of the tires rotates.

*

: The display may differ depending on the driving status.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) status

●

The display changes in 8 levels according to the remaining charge amount
of the hybrid battery (traction battery).

●

The hybrid battery (traction battery) status is also displayed on the following
screen, but the contents of the display are the same.
• Sub-screen of the main display (



P. 125)

• Hybrid System Indicator (



P. 132)

• Head-up display (if equipped) (



P. 161)

●

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 mal-
function.

■

Remaining charge amount warning of hybrid battery (traction battery)

●

The buzzer sounds intermittently when the hybrid battery (traction battery)
remains without charging while the shift position is in N, or the remaining
charge amount drops below a certain level. 
If the remaining charge amount drops further, the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.

●

When a warning message is shown on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to perform
troubleshooting.

“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.

• The speed limiter system (if equipped) is being used and the vehicle

speed is approximately the limit speed or higher.

■

About the Eco score

●

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

●

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



P. 150). 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.
