METER / GAUGE SYSTEM > GENERAL

Combination Meter Assembly

1. An analog type combination meter assembly is provided as standard equipment.
   

2. An Optitron type combination meter assembly is provided as optional equipment. This type realizes excellent visibility through the use of a smoked acrylic protective panel, and bright Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that use high contrast to illuminate the indicators and dials.
   

3. All the meters, gauges, indicator lights and warning lights use LEDs to reduce the consumption of electrical energy.
   

4. The combination meter assembly has a built-in meter ECU and buzzer.
   

5. A Hybrid System Indicator is provided. The indicator makes it possible to confirm the system output and regenerative condition of the hybrid system.
   

6. A tachometer is provided on the Optitron type combination meter assembly. When the SPORT mode is selected, the tachometer is displayed instead of the Hybrid System Indicator.
   

7. An Optitron type combination meter assembly has a function that changes the illumination color of itself in accordance with the selected driving mode and vehicle driving conditions.
   





8. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is used for the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

Combination Meter Assembly

1. An illumination control which allows for anticipation of a pleasant drive is used. If the power switch is turned on (IG), the illumination control operates as follows:
   

   1. When the hybrid system is started, the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator and fuel gauge needles illuminate.
      
   2. Next, the meter panel illumination, speedometer dial, Hybrid System Indicator dial, ODO/ TRIP meter, shift indicator and multi-information display fade in to welcome the driver. If the illumination color change function of the combination meter assembly is enabled, these illuminations flash when fading in.
      
   3. When the power switch is turned off, the speedometer dial, Hybrid System Indicator dial, fuel gauge and shift indicator go off. Next, the speedometer, Hybrid System Indicator and fuel gauge needles turn off.
      
   
   
   4. Finally, multi-information display turns off.
      
      
      
      
      
      





2. On the Optitron type combination meter assembly, the illumination color of the meter panel and the display of the Hybrid System Indicator or tachometer will be changed when the driving condition is changed using the mode select switch. These items can be customized to suit the driver's preference.

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 regeneration is occurring.
   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 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 area or Eco area, the upper area of meter panel illuminates blue to inform the driver that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
