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 hybrid system indicator (or 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 hybrid system starts, the speedometer, hybrid system indicator (or 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 (READY) | *b | The illustration shown is example only. The illustration may differ from the actual vehicle screen. |
Ending Ceremony (Normal Meter)
When the power switch is turned off, the multi-information display and the gauge bar graphs are turned off.
Furthermore, the hybrid system indicator (or 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 hybrid system 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 (READY) | *b | The illustration shown is example only. The illustration may differ from the actual vehicle screen. |
Ending Ceremony (F-SPORT Meter)
When the power 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 hybrid system indicator (or 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 hybrid system indicator (or 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.

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.
