TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system 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 fo\
r the vehicle.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force genera\
tes
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, reduc\
ed 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 ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.

(if equipped)
Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Rear Cross
Traffic Braking (ICS w/RCTB)
(if equipped)
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like w\
alls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an aud\
ible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply th\
e brakes if
needed.

The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling\
in the
Camry HV’s blind spot and advises the driver of the vehicles’ pres\
ence via the
outside rear view mirror indicators.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system before
attempting to use it.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect
vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\
stem will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\
on. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not\
attempt
to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the syste\
m may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, \
such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a san\
dstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve,\
a vehicle
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the syst\
em from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations \
in which the
system may not operate properly.Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/\
PD operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\
nformation

Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\
tional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\
ay apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\
ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely\
high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to he\
lp the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
