■

Rev indicator

When the engine speed reaches a set

indicator (

) will be displayed on the

tachometer.

The indicators will be displayed in amber
when the engine speed reaches a set

When the engine speed reaches or
exceeds 4000 r/min, an afterimage of
the tachometer will be displayed at the

mately 1 second.

■

Engine speed

On Hybrid Electric 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 displayed may differ even when vehicle

operation and driving conditions are the

same.

The Hybrid System Indicator is displayed in

the following situations:

●

The shift lever is in D or S.

●

■

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 procedure.

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to

change the odometer and trip meter

display to odometer.

Turn the power switch off.

While pressing and holding the “ODO

TRIP” switch, turn the power switch to

ON mode.

Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”

switch for approximately 5 seconds,

and then release it once the odometer

begins flashing.

Updating is complete once the odometer

flashes for approximately 5 seconds and

then the display returns to normal.

■

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 20 km/h [12 mph])

• 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

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.



Distance until next engine oil
change

Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.

■

Changing the display

Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information 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 gear num-

ber 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

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the

tachometer enter the red zone, which

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the

engine coolant temperature gauge is

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (
