OVERVIEWFEATURES & OPERATIONSTOYOTA SAFETY SENSESAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Hybrid Synergy Drive System (RAV4 Hybrid only)
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy
and reduced vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the audio system screen
(navigation system or multi-media system.)
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
(4) The “READY” light will be illuminated. After a few seconds, when the light
remains steady and a beep sounds, shift the lever to the desired position and
you may begin driving.
(1) Put the shift lever in “Park.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “ ”
will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display.
(3) Press the “POWER” button briefly
and firmly.
