Important information about your Toyota
Hybrid system on your vehicle
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics dif-
ferent from other conventional vehicles. You must under-
stand the characteristics of your vehicle very well and han-
dle it carefully. Read this manual and follow the instruc-
tions. Section 1−1 explains the characteristics of the hy-
brid system.
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to
read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In
terms of helping you understand how you can receive the
maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this
vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is
the most important Section for you and your family to
read.
Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern-
ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys-
tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you
should be aware of. These systems work together along
with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide
occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of
each system is enhanced when it is used properly and
together with other systems. No single occupant restraint
system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the
equal level of restraint which these systems can provide
when used together. That is why it is important for you and
your family to understand the purpose and proper use of
each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help
reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ-
ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the
event of collision. However, the more you know about
these systems and how to use them properly, the greater
your chances become of surviving an accident without
death or serious injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of
the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear
seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be
secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for
their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with,
and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes
for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing
the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing
contact of the head, chest and knee with interior portions
of the vehicle.
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with
tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air-
bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources
of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an
airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has
been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the
time of deployment. This is just one example of how the
instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help
ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and
increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami-
ly in the event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time
of ownership of this vehicle.

Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer-
tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in
driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be-
sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a
system to record data in a crash or a near car crash
event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device may record
some or all of the following information:
DEngine speed
DWhether the brake pedal was applied or not
DVehicle speed
DTo what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
DPosition of the transmission selector lever
DWhether the driver and front passenger wore the seat
belts or not
DDriver’s seat position
DFront passenger’s occupant classification
DSRS airbag deployment data
DSRS airbag system diagnostic data
If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control
(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may con-
tain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations
which include activating the VSC under which the VSC
EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may
record some or all of the following information:
DBehavior of the vehicle
DSteering wheel angle
DVehicle speed
DTo what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
DTo what extent the brake pedal was applied
DTo what extent the ECU controlled the condition of
the 4 wheels
DVehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the
purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike
general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound
data such as conversation between passengers.

’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610)
vi
2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a
third party except when:
DAn agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas-
ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained
DOfficially requested by the police or other authorities
DUsed as a defense for Toyota in a law suit
DOrdered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
DUse the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety
performance
DDisclose the data to a third party for research pur-
poses without disclosing details of the vehicle owner,
and only when it is deemed necessary
DDisclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-
cation information to a non−Toyota organization for
research purposes

Scrapping of your Toyota
CAUTION
In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of,
make sure to contact your Toyota dealer or a quali-
fied service shop. If your vehicle is disposed of
without the hybrid battery having been removed,
there is a danger of serious electric shock if high
voltage parts, cables and their connectors are tou-
ched. The hybrid batteries must be disposed of by
your Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop. If the
traction batteries are not disposed of properly, they
may cause electric shock that can result a death or
serious injury.
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they
are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to
have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service
shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your
vehicle.
High voltage cautions
CAUTION
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as
well as a 12−volt system. DC and AC high voltage
is very dangerous and can cause severe burns and
electric shock that may result in death or serious
injury.
DNever touch, disassemble, remove or replace the
high voltage parts, cables and their connectors.
High voltage parts and cables are indicated in the
illustration on page 7. Touching, disassembling, re-
moving or replacing those parts and cables can
cause severe burns or electric shock that may re-
sult in death or serious injury.
DNever try to open the service plug access hole
located in the trunk. The service plug is used only

vehicle as soon as possible. Never use a fire ex-
tinguisher that is not meant for use on electric
fires. Using a small amount of water may be also
dangerous.
DIf your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the
front wheels raised. If the wheels with the motor
generator are on the ground when towing, the mo-
tor may continue to generate electricity. This may
cause the electricity leakage. Depending on the se-
verity of the damage, electricity leakage may
cause fire. See “If your vehicle needs to be
towed” on page 327 in Section 4.
Perchlorate Material

Toyota hybrid system combines the
power of an engine and a traction mo-
tor to minimize fuel consumption and
emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the engine and traction motor.
Since the engine charges the hybrid bat-
tery as needed, the battery does not have
to be charged from an outside source like
an electric vehicle.
In your hybrid vehicle, there are several
indicators that show different aspects
of fuel consumption:
Instrument cluster indicators
1. Current fuel consumption (fuel economy
meter):
See “Fuel economy meter” in Section
1−6 on page 133.
2. Average fuel consumption after refuel-
ing (“TANK AVG”):
See “—Outside temperature and cruise
information” in Section 1−6 on page
135.
3. Average fuel consumption after the hy-
brid system is turned on (“ECO DRIVE

Drive your vehicle with smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
DWhile driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for effi-
cient use, do not accelerate or deceler-
ate your vehicle more than necessary.
DAvoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
DThe power of the hybrid battery can be
checked on the multi−information dis-
play or the navigation system screen
(with navigation system). See “—Hybrid
battery status” on page 5 for details.
Gradual or non−abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effectively
use of the traction motor without hav-
ing to use engine power.
When parking, be sure to put the trans-
mission into the “P” position. While
driving, put the transmission into the
“D” position.
DIn the “N” position, the engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
hybrid battery will be discharged requir-
ing unnecessary engine power to re-
charge.
DThe hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid battery when the
remaining battery power is reduced.
However, the hybrid battery cannot be
recharged if the transmission is in the
“N” position.
For detailed information, see “How to save
fuel and make your vehicle last longer” on
page 311 in Section 3.
INFORMATION
The engine starts and stops automati-
cally. (It stops during a low load driv-
ing, deceleration or when the vehicle
is stopped.)
As long as the “READY” light remains
on, you can start your vehicle using
the traction motor even with the en-
gine stopped.
