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.

1744-3. Operating the lights and wipers
CAMRY_HV_U (OM33C35U)n
Battery-saving function
In the following conditions, the remaining lights will go off automatically after

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:
