TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-information display (MID) screen or the navigation system.
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, reduced vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
- When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
1. Put the selector lever in “P.”
2. Depress the brake pedal, and “ ” will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display (MID).
3. Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
4. The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains steady
and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in decision-making when to
change lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling in the Camry
HV’s blind spot. If a vehicle is detected, the driver will be alerted via the outside rear
view side mirror indicators.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert function:
While in reverse, when a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear of the vehicle
is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators flash.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details on this system before
attempting to use it.
