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.

actual state. Use caution just as
you would when driving any
other vehicle.
●Always make sure to check all
around the vehicle with your
own eyes when driving.

the screen as the image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. If you are driving
while looking only at the screen,
you may hit a
person or an
object, resulting in an accident.
When driving, be sure to check
the vehicle’s surroundings with
your own eyes and the vehicle’s
mirrors.
●Depending on the circum-
stances of the vehicle (number
of passengers, amount of lug-
gage, etc.), the position of the
guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. Be sure to
check visually around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
●Do not use the panoramic view
monitor system in the following
cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emer- gency tires
