INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Trip computer
The trip computer registers and calculates infor-
mation such as distance driven, fuel consump-
tion and average speed. This information is dis-
played in the instrument panel.
To help promote fuel efficient driving, the trip
computer provides readings for current and aver-
age fuel consumption.
The trip computer includes the following
gauges:
•
Trip odometers
•
Odometer
•
Current fuel consumption
•
Distance to empty
•

Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA. During
a drive, the trip odometer registers:
•
Mileage
•
Driving time
•
Average speed
•
Average fuel consumption
The values displayed are those since the last
time the trip odometer was reset.
Odometer
The odometer registers the vehicle's total mile-
age and cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the current fuel consumption.
This reading is updated once a second.
Distance to empty
This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank.
The calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is very little
useable fuel remaining in the tank; refuel as soon
as possible.
The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-
ing style changes. An economical driving style will
generally increase this distance.
Distance to discharged battery
This gauge shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven on the charge
remaining in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----" there is no guar-
anteed driving charge remaining in the battery.
This calculation is based on the average electrical
current consumption in a normally loaded vehicle
during normal driving, and whether the A/C is on
or off. Changing drive modes from
Pure
may increase the calculated distance to a
Pure
discharged battery since mode reduces
certain climate system functions.
An economical driving style will generally
increase this distance.
