systemscreenLevel 0 Your vehicle is equipped with a push
start system. Follow the procedure be-
low to start the hybrid system:
1. Make sure that you are carrying the electronic key.
2. Make sure that the transmission is in the “P” position.
3. Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly with the brake pedal depressed.
The “READY” light starts flashing and then
it stays on with sounding a beep. If the
ambient temperature is low, such as dur-
ing winter driving conditions, it may take
longer than the usual amount of time until
the “READY” light stays on.
The hybrid system cannot be started with-
out the brake pedal depressed.
For details, see “How to start the hybrid
system” on page 301 in Section 3.
The engine may not start even with the
“READY” light on.

Drive your vehicle with smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for effi-
cient use, do not accelerate or deceler-
ate your vehicle more than necessary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The power of the hybrid battery can be
checked on the multi−information dis-
play or the navigation system screen
(with navigation system). See “—Hybrid
battery status” on page 5 for details.
Gradual or non −abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effectively
use of the traction motor without hav-
ing to use engine power. When parking, be sure to put the trans-
mission into the “P” position. While
driving, put the transmission into the
“D” position.
In the “N” position, the engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
hybrid battery will be discharged requir-
ing unnecessary engine power to re-
charge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid battery when the
remaining battery power is reduced.
However, the hybrid battery cannot be
recharged if the transmission is in the
“N” position.
For detailed information, see “How to save
fuel and make your vehicle last longer” on
page 311 in Section 3.
INFORMATION
The engine starts and stops automati-
cally. (It stops during a low load driv-
ing, deceleration or when the vehicle
is stopped.)
As long as the “READY” light remains
on, you can start your vehicle using
the traction motor even with the en-
gine stopped.
The engine may not stop automatical-
ly in the following conditions:
 During engine warmup
 During hybrid battery charging
 During low or high hybrid battery
temperature
Efficient use of your hybrid
vehicle

Be sure to put the transmission in the
“P” position when parking.
In the “N” position, the hybrid battery
does not recharge, even if the engine is
operating. Leaving the transmission in the
“N” position for an extended period of time
may discharge the hybrid battery. The ve-
hicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is
discharged.
When you leave your vehicle, apply the
parking brake, put the transmission in
the “P” position, be sure to carry the
key with you and lock all the doors.
If you leave the “POWER” switch at
“ACC” or “ON”, the 12 volt battery will be
discharged and the hybrid system may not
start.
Because the vehicle is powered by
both the engine and the traction motor,
you may hear a motor sound coming
from the engine compartment. However,
this does not indicate any trouble.
When the hybrid system is started or
stopped, you may hear a sound coming
from the hybrid battery behind the rear
seats. However, this does not indicate
any trouble.
When the hybrid system is started or
stopped, or while the vehicle is idling,
you may hear a sound coming from the
transmission. However, this does not
indicate any trouble.
When accelerating rapidly, the engine
noise may rise. However, this does not
indicate any trouble.
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid
battery power, resulting in poor accel-
eration. Battery power can be restored
by driving with the accelerator pedal
slightly released.
When applying brakes, you may hear
a sound coming from the motor genera-
tor. However, this does not indicate
any trouble.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment when the driver ’s door is
opened or the brake pedal is de-
pressed with the hybrid system turned
off. However, this does not indicate any
trouble.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment after the hybrid system is
turned on or off. However, this does
not indicate any trouble.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly with the hybrid
system turned on. However, this does
not indicate any trouble.
When the engine is started or stopped
with the hybrid system turned on, you
may feel a vibration. However, this
does not indicate any trouble.
If the “READY” light is on, you can
start even when the engine is off.
When you put the transmission in the
“B” position and take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, engine braking will
be applied. However, during high speed
driving you may feel that engine brak-
ing is less effective than that of con-
ventional vehicle.
—The characteristics of the
hybrid vehicle

2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)
High voltage parts and cables on
the hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electro-
magnetic waves as the convention-
al gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite
of their electromagnetic shieldings.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the mobile twoway
radio.
If the vehicle is parked for a long
time, the hybrid battery will dis-
charge gradually. To keep the hy-
brid battery in good condition,
drive the vehicle at least once ev-
ery several months for at least 30
minutes or 10 miles. If the hybrid
battery becomes fully discharged
and the vehicle will not start even
with a jump start to the 12 volt
battery, contact your Toyota dealer-
ship.
CAUTION
The driver should pay special atten-
tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the traction mo-
tor. Because there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle’s movement.
When you leave your vehicle, be
sure to turn off the hybrid system.
Be sure to put the transmission in
the “P” position because the ve-
hicle can move when the “READY”
light is on even if the engine is
stopped. When the “READY” light is
on, do not leave your vehicle in a
shift position other than the “P”
and “N” positions. The vehicle will
creep and start abruptly if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed by
mistake. This may cause death or
serious injury.
