Outside Temperature Indicator This indicator displays the outside temperature in Centigrade. To see the outside temperature, press and release the SEL/RESET button until the temperature is shown in the information display.

The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).

The sensor delays the display update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes.

If the system still detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. Turn the engine off, and check or retighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks at least once. The MIL goes out after several days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If it does not go out, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page

IMA Battery Level Gauge

BATTERY LEVEL GAUGE

acceleration or climbing a long hill. The engine will recharge the battery as you continue driving.

If the battery is mostly discharged, the auto idle stop function is disabled (see page

170

).

The battery level gauge does not read the battery level directly. It calculates the level by continuously measuring the current flow, voltage, and temperature.

Since the level is not read directly, small sensing errors can, over time, cause the gauge to read higher than the actual battery level. The system will then perform a correction, and the battery level gauge reading will drop suddenly. When this happens, IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are disabled until the IMA battery is sufficiently recharged by normal driving. This should take only a few minutes.

This gauge shows you the state of charge of the battery for the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). This battery is recharged by the engine, anddischargedbytheIMAwhenit is assisting the engine with powering the vehicle.

The gauge reading may drop near the bottom under driving conditions that require IMA motor assistance for a long time, such as prolonged

Gauges

This correction of the battery level gauge is normal and does not indicate a problem. If the IMA battery develops a problem or becomes deteriorated, the IMA system indicator will come on. If this happens, have the vehicle checked by your dealer as soon as possible.

Main MenuTable of Contentsst０５／０９／０９　１８：０６：５５　３１ＳＮＣ６００　００７３　

If the IMA battery is too hot or too cold, the IMA system limits the IMA battery’s output power to protect the battery. This disables the IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop, even though the Battery Level Gauge may show that the battery is well-charged. Therefore, if the motor assist is frequently used, the battery becomes hot and starts to limit its output power.

It takes the IMA system a few minutes in cold weather to normalize the IMA battery’s output power, and about 15 minutes in hot weather.

Charge/Assist Gauge

IMA ASSIST GAUGE

IMA CHARGE GAUGE This gauge shows you the status of the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). When the IMA battery is being charged, the bottom side of the gauge illuminates. When the IMA is assisting the engine, the upper side of the gauge illuminates.
