Driving
CAMRY_HV_U (OM33C35U)
Use Eco drive mode to help achieve low fuel consumption during trips
that involve frequent accelerating.
Turns Eco drive mode on/off
When Eco drive mode is turned on,
a message indicating the vehicle is
in Eco drive mode will be shown on
the multi-information display.
Pressing the switch when in Eco
drive mode will return the vehicle to
normal driving.
n Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. (P. 334) To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
n If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 486
Selecting Eco drive mode
WARNING
nWhen driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
nHybrid battery (traction battery) charge precaution
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged even when the engine is running. Therefore, if the vehicle is left
with the shift lever in N for a long period of time, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) will discharge, and this may result in the vehicle not being able to
start.

2044-5. Using the driving support systems
CAMRY_HV_U (OM33C35U)
nTemporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
l The turn signal lever is operated.
l The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system
functions.
l When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
l When the lane departure warning function is activated.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several sec-
onds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
n The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise
while the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult
to hear the warning sound.
n After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message ( P. 460) will
be displayed for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the
cabin decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 202)
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
n If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.

4-6. Driving tips
uUsing Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (h eating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 334)
uUse of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the needle of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 90)
uShift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. When using
the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In the N, the
gasoline engine operates but el ectricity cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning s ystem, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is consumed.
uAccelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
l Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelerati on and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine power.
l Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driv ing, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

2404-6. Driving tips
CAMRY_HV_U (OM33C35U)
uWhen braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow-
ing down.
uDelays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fu el economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When driving
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoi ding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption.
uHighway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
accelerator and gently apply the br akes. A greater amount of elec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
uAir conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline eng ine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehi cle are warm, it will consume fuel.
Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.
uChecking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire infl ation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are appro-
priate for the season.

2424-6. Driving tips
CAMRY_HV_U (OM33C35U)
lUse fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
l Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the 12-volt bat-
tery.
l Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
Perform the following accordin g to the driving conditions:
l Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
l To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
l Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, ve hicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
l Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.
