Smart key system
Users of any electrical medical devices such as im-
planted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
For details, see “Keys” on page 22 in Section 1−2.
Tires and loading on your
To y o t a
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of
steering ability and braking ability, leading to an
accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-
cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in
this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire inflation
pressure and load limits, see pages 359 and 295.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done approximately five hours after the hybrid
system is turned off. So you may hear s ound coming from
underneath the trunk for several minutes. It does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Hybrid battery
The hybrid battery has a limited service life. Call your
Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop for information
about re cycling or disposal of the battery.

This indicates that the fuel filler door is
on the left side of your vehicle.
To refuel your vehicle, turn the hybrid
system off.
CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow
open flames in the area when refuel-
ing. The fumes are flammable.
1. To open the fuel filler door, push theswitch.If the pressure in the fuel tank is high, a
message “PLEASE WAIT NOW OPENING”
will appear on the multi −information dis-
play. It may take up to 10 seconds if the
internal pressure is high. The segments in
the display increase to indicate the time
left. The segments in the display decrease
to indicate the time left.
When the pressure lowers, a message
“REFUEL READY” will appear and the fuel
filler door will open.
If the fuel filler door does not open, the
opener may have a malfunction. For de-
tails, see “—If the fuel filler door opener
is not actuated” on page 53 in this Sec-
tion.
Fuel tank cap—

2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)
CAUTION
When opening the cap, do not remove
the cap quickly. In hot weather, fuel
under pressure could cause injury by
spraying out of the filler neck if the
cap is suddenly removed.
2. Turn the cap slowly counterclockwiseand remove it.
The removed cap can be stored on the
backside of the fuel filler door.
When reinstalling, turn the cap clockwise
until you hear a click.
If the cap is not tightened securely, the
malfunction indicator lamp will come on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp will go off after driving
the vehicle several times. If the indicator
lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. If you leave the fuel filler door open and
start the hybrid system, a message
“CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the
multi
−information display. Make sure the
fuel filler door is closed.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel sp illage in
the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It is designed
to regulate fuel tank pressure.
NOTICE
Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If
more than 30 minutes passes, the in-
ternal valve closes. In this condition,
fuel may spill out if you continue to
refuel the vehicle. About 5 minutes
after the valve is closed, a message
“CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the
multiinformation display. To refuel
the vehicle again, tighten the fuel
tank cap and close the fuel filler
door, and then push the fuel f iller
door opener switch again.

If the opener is not actuated, contact
your Toyota dealer to service the ve-
hicle. If you must refuel your vehicle,
you can open the fuel filler door manu-
ally as instructed below.
The system to lower internal pressure
in the fuel tank may not be functioning
so you must turn the cap slowly with
releasing the pressure. In addition, fuel
may spill out during refueling. Fill the
fuel tank carefully and slowly.1. Open the trunk and remove the cov-
er located in the lefthand side of
the trunk.
2. Pull the manual lock release lever. The fuel filler door will open.
3. Turn the cap slowly counterclock- wise.
You may hear a slight swoosh when
you remove the cap.
CAUTION
When opening the cap, do not remove
it quickly. The fuel may spray out of
the filler opening if the cap is sud-
denly removed.Sliding operation

The tire pressure warning light may turn
on due to natural causes such as natural
air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes
caused by temperature. In this case, ad-
justing the tire inflation pressure will turn
off the light after a few minutes.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset
switch does not turn off the tire pressure
warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the light.
The compact spare tire is not equipped
with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the warning
light will not turn off even though the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire. Re-
place the spare tire with the repaired tire
and adjust the proper tire inflation pressur-
e. The tire pressure warning light will turn
off after a few minutes.CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label
(tire and load information label), you
should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS–
tire pressure warning system) that il-
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light) when one
or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly underinflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.

Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving. An open or unsealed trunk
lid may cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-
er obstructions.
If you smell exhaust fumes in the
vehicle, open the windows and
close the trunk lid to ensure plenty
of fresh air enters the vehicle. If
you can smell exhaust fumes even
though there are no other vehicles
in the surrounding area, have your
vehicle checked by your Toyota
dealer. Continued inhalation of ex-
haust fumes can lead to death by
gas poisoning.
FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.
Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high −speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp. qt./600
miles)
