FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and/or display audio system/
navigation system screen (if equipped).
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

(2) Depress the brake pedal, and messages will be displayed on the Multi-

Hybrid transmission
* The “POWER” switch must be “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to shift from
Park.
Shift the shift lever to “S” position from “D” position.
+ : Upshift (push and release)
- : Downshift (pull and release)
Downshifting increases power going uphill, or provides engine braking downhill. For
best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, always drive with the shift lever
in the “D” position.
Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in different modes, or turned
OFF.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The VSC OFF switch can be used to help free a stuck vehicle in surroundings like
mud, dirt or snow. While car is stopped, press switch to disable the TRAC system.
To disable both VSC and TRAC systems, press and hold the switch for at least 3
seconds.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)/
TRAC OFF switch
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like walls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an audible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply the brakes
if needed. If your vehicle is equipped with ICS, the RCTA system will also have a
braking function that may apply the vehicle’s brakes if the system detects crossing
vehicles while the Avalon HV is backing up.
Note: Use “” or “” and “” of the meter control switches to select
and in the Multi-Information Display (MID) to change settings. The
system will continue in the last state it was in (ON or OFF) when the engine is
started again.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system.
