Tachometer
■
Hybrid System Indicator switches to the tachometer when driving mode is in sport
mode.
Engine speed
■
On hybrid 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 vehi-
cle operation and driving conditions are the same.
Outside temperature display
■
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to change.
When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
●
When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a
●
garage, tunnel, etc.)
Customization
■
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of ECO lamp) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 565)
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and its components
■
Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indi-
●
cates the maximum engine speed.
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the
●
red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check
the engine after it has cooled completely. (P. 530)
