Hybrid System Start Effect Function
When recognizing a hybrid system start, the combination meter controls the following items for producing the effect.
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Assist charge gauge
- Fuel gauge
- Meter illumination
Meter and Illumination Operations During Hybrid System Start Effect
The combination meter controls the following items during the hybrid system start effect.
| Control item | Operation | |
|---|---|---|
| Speedometer | Sweeps the pointer. | |
| Tachometer | Sweeps the pointer. | |
| Assist charge gauge | Stops the pointer. | |
| Fuel gauge | Stops the pointer. | |
| Meter illumination | Pointers | Turns on the illumination at the effect level. |
| Information display | Turns on the illumination at the normal brightness level. | |
| Other than those above | Increases the brightness to the effect level in stages. | |
Hybrid System Start Judgement
The combination meter judges "hybrid system start" and activates the hybrid system start effect only once when the following operational conditions are all satisfied.
| Operational condition | |
|---|---|
| Ignition switch | ON position |
| Vehicle speed | Less than 1 km/h (0.6 MPH) |
| Vehicle state | READY |
| Information display (SETTING) | The setting of "EFFECT" is "ON" |
NOTE:
The hybrid system start effect function ends if any one of the above conditions is lost during the activation of this function.
Signal Path
The combination meter judges "hybrid system start", according to the following signals and activates the hybrid system start effect function.
| Signal name | Signal source |
|---|---|
| Ignition signal | - |
| READY to drive indicator lamp signal | HPCM (CAN) → Combination meter |
| Vehicle speed signal | ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) (CAN) → Combination meter |
