OUTLINE
An 8-inch color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) combination meter, which displays a dial and needle using an LCD, is used.
A 1-dial combination meter, which displays a digital speedometer and an analog tachometer, is used.
A various vehicle information are displayed on a color TFT LCD monitor to achieve visibility and a pleasant design.
A Normal meter is used for models except F-SPORT and an F-SPORT meter with a special design is used for F-SPORT.
The Normal meter expresses a metallic graphic meter ring using the TFT LCD monitor. Depending on the displayed content, the graphic meter ring is lowered to ensure a sufficient display area, making the multi-information display area appear larger. A customization setting is provided for the analog display of the vehicle speed so that the driver can select their preferred display mode.
The F-SPORT meter is equipped with a movable meter ring that operates using a motor. By operating the movable meter ring, displayed contents can be switched to display 2 screens on 1 meter.
A multi-information display that shows various kinds of information is integrated.
The combination meter assembly has a built-in meter ECU and buzzer.

MAIN FEATURES
Welcome Ceremony (Normal Meter)
When the driver opens the driver door and enters the vehicle, a 3D animation starts with the graphic meter ring rotating as a welcoming image.
Opening Ceremony (Normal Meter)
When the engine starts, the speedometer, tachometer and the shift position indicator are illuminated, and an animation is displayed on the LCD monitor.
After the animation completes, the outside temperature gauge, clock, odo/trip meter and multi-information display are illuminated.
Tech Tips
The illustration is a representative example of the animation order. The display on the actual vehicle may differ depending on the power source mode status.
| *a | IG On | *b | The illustration shown is example only. The illustration may differ from the actual vehicle screen. |
Ending Ceremony (Normal Meter)
When the engine switch is turned off, the multi-information display and the gauge bar graphs are turned off.
Furthermore, the tachometer, the speedometer, the outside temperature gauge and the clock are turned off.
Afterward, the shift position indicator is turned off, and once a certain period of time elapses, odo/trip meter is turned off.

Opening Ceremony (F-SPORT Meter)
When the engine starts, the needle of the tachometer in the movable meter ring is illuminated, and an animation is displayed on the LCD monitor.
After the animation completes, tachometer graduations and the speedometer are illuminated.
Next, an animation is displayed where gauges appear from both sides of the movable meter ring.
Afterward, the outside temperature gauge, clock, odo/trip meter and multi-information display are illuminated.
Tech Tips
The illustration is a representative example of the animation order. The display on the actual vehicle may differ depending on the power source mode status.
| *a | IG On | *b | The illustration shown is example only. The illustration may differ from the actual vehicle screen. |
Ending Ceremony (F-SPORT Meter)
When the engine switch is turned off, the speedometer, the outside temperature gauge, the clock, some of the tachometer graduations and the gauge bar graphs are turned off.
Afterward, the multi-information display and gauge graduations are turned off.
Furthermore, the tachometer needle rotates counterclockwise, and then an animation is used to turn off the graduations of the tachometer.
When this occurs, an animation is displayed where the gauge frames appear to be stored into both sides of the movable meter ring.
Once the tachometer needle completes one rotation, all tachometer graduations are turned off in order.
Next, the tachometer needle fades out while turning off, moving inward from the end towards the center.
Afterward, the odo/trip meter and clock are illuminated, and once a certain period of time elapses, they are turned off.
Tech Tips
The illustration is a representative example of the animation order. The display on the actual vehicle may differ depending on the ring position memory settings.

Movable Meter Ring (F-SPORT Meter)
The combination meter assembly has 2 display modes: ring center display mode and ring side display mode.
Switching to display mode is performed using the back switch on the steering pad switch assembly. Returning to display mode is performed using the back switch again.
In ring center display mode, the movable meter ring is positioned at the center and the tachometer, speedometer and multi-information display are displayed inside of the movable meter ring. In addition, the outside temperature gauge, odo/trip meter, clock, shift position indicator and gauges are displayed around the movable meter ring.
In ring side display mode, the movable meter ring moves with the display to the right and the enlarged multi-information display is displayed at the left and the tachometer, speedometer, shift position indicator and odo/trip meter are displayed inside of the movable meter ring. In addition, the outside temperature gauge, clock and gauges are displayed at the top and bottom of the multi-information display.

Drive Mode
The drive mode indicator is displayed in the upper area of the graphic meter ring of the Normal meter and displayed at the bottom right area inside the movable meter ring of the F-SPORT meter.
Driving modes can be selected by performing drive mode select operations.
When Sport*1, Sport S*2 and Sport S+*2 mode are selected, the tachometer is displayed. Also, the design of the tachometer dial changes according to each mode and the needle turns red.

ECO Driving Indicator/ECO Driving Indicator Zone Display
In order to support eco driving, the ECO driving indicator turns on or off to notify the driver of whether the acceleration pedal is being operated in an environmentally friendly manner, and the accelerator operation condition can be checked on the ECO driving indicator zone display.
The ECO driving indicator turns on when the vehicle is being driven in an environmentally friendly manner and turns off when it is not. Furthermore, if the operating conditions are not met, the ECO driving indicator turns off and stops operating.

*1: Models without Adaptive Variable Suspension system (AVS)
*2: Models with Adaptive Variable Suspension system (AVS)
*3: Except models for G.C.C. countries
The ECO driving indicator zone display uses a bar graph to display the eco driving range. When the vehicle is not being driven in an environmentally friendly manner, the bar graph displays gray bars outside the eco-driving range. Furthermore, if the operating conditions are not met, the ECO driving indicator zone display is grayed out and stops operating.

Gear Position Indicator (F-SPORT Meter)
A graphic is used to display all transmission gear positions and the current gear position.
When the shift position is D, the changed gear position is automatically displayed in white and the current gear position is emphasized.
When a paddle shift operation is performed while the shift position is D, the unchanged gear positions are automatically grayed out and the current gear position is emphasized.
When the shift position is changed to M, the current gear position is emphasized by displaying it in orange and all other gear positions are grayed out.
When the shift position is P, R or N or the paddle shift operation is performed while dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, all gear positions are grayed out.

G Monitor (F-SPORT Meter)
The operation amount of the steering wheel and accelerator pedal and the brake force are displayed using the bar graph. At the same time, the amount of front/rear and left/right gravitational acceleration applied to the vehicle is visualized using numbers and a graphic.
The current number of gravitational acceleration is displayed in yellow.
The amount and direction of the gravitational acceleration are displayed using a ball. In addition, the trajectory of the ball displays the maximum amount.
