Navigation system
HIGHLANDER_HIGHLANDER HV_NAVI_(U)
The system reads the road and
traffic conditions ahead to effi-
ciently control the charging and
discharging of the hybrid battery
according to the actual driving
situation.
The capacity of the hybrid bat-
tery is limited. When it is fully
charged, regeneration cannot
occur, and when the battery is
depleted, it may be forcibly
charged by the engine. The sys-
tem predicts these situations to
adjust the battery charge level in
advance, effectively utilizing the
battery.
●The system operates when start-
ing route guidance and the posi-
tion of the vehicle is along the
guided route. (The system does
not operate in parking lots, etc.)
●When multiple destinations are
set, the system will continue to
operate to the last destination.
