■If “Proximity Notification Sys-
tem Malfunction Visit Your 
Dealer” is displayed on the 
multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. 
Have the vehicle inspected by your 
Toyota dealer.
*: This function can  only be used in 
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be 
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on 
the driving situation and traffic 
information to enhance fuel 
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “NAVIGA-
TION AND MULTIMEDIA 
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration support
Example: 7-inch display
Reference operation range
●When the vehicle approaches to 
predictive deceleration support 
points registered in the navigation 
system, the “Reference operation 
range” of the ECO Accelerator 
Guidance ( P.104) on the 
multi-information  display will be 
turned off to encourage the driver  to reduce excessive acceleration.
●The engine braki
ng force will be 
increased according to the driving 
conditions to more efficiently 
charge the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) after the accelerator pedal 
is released.
■Predictive SOC control
The following types of control are 
performed based on data such as 
road and traffic information during 
route guidance by the navigation 
system to help ensure that the vehi-
cle efficiently uses electricity.
●When there is  a long downhill 
slope along the r oute, the system 
reduces the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) leve l before reaching 
the slope to help ensure charging 
capacity for regenerative braking 
while traveling downhill.
●When traffic congestion is pre-
dicted along the route, the system 
helps ensure a certain battery 
level before reaching congested 
roads to reduce the frequency of 
starting the engin e to charge the 
hybrid battery (traction battery) 
due to low battery levels.
