  2. MAIN FEATURES


    1. Combination Meter Assembly


      1. An illumination control which allows for anticipation of a pleasant drive is used. The illumination control operates as follows:


        1. When the driver door is opened, the opening screen is displayed on the multi-information display for 15 seconds.

        2. When the power switch is turned on (IG), the needles of the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator, coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge illuminate. At the same time, the multi-information display and meter panel illumination fade in.

        3. Then, the panels of the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator, coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge fade in.

        4. When the power switch is turned off, the multi-information display, meter panel illumination, and the panels of the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator, coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge fade out. Then, the needles of the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator, coolant temperature gauge and fuel gauge fade out.

    2. Hybrid System Indicator


      1. The Hybrid System Indicator displays the total of the HV battery and engine output as the hybrid system output.

      2. The scale for the Hybrid System Indicator is divided into 3 areas (Charge, Eco, Power). The role of each area is as follows.

        Area Function
        Charge The Charge area indicates when energy is being regenerated.
        Eco

        • The Eco area indicates when the vehicle is being driven Eco-friendly.

        • The Hybrid Eco area indicates that the vehicle is driven in a manner that promotes frequent motor only operation. (Based on various conditions, the power management control ECU controls if the engine should be stopped to enhance fuel efficiency.)
        Power The Power area indicates that the Eco-friendly driving range is being exceeded (during full power driving etc.).

      3. When the needle of the Hybrid System Indicator is in the Charge or Eco area, the meter panel illumination illuminates to inform the driver that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
