●While driving, the cu rrent position
mark is fixed on the screen and
the map moves.
●The current position is automati-
cally set as the vehicle receives
signals from the GPS (Global
Positioning System). If the current
position is not correct, it is auto-
matically corrected after the vehi-
cle receives signals from the GPS.
●After the 12-volt battery discon-
nection, or on a new vehicle, the current position may not be cor-
rect. As soon as the navigation
system receives s
ignals from the
GPS, the correct c urrent position
is displayed.

*2: 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.
*3: Refer to the “OWNER’S MAN-UAL”.
The system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
 The predictive efficient drive
function can be turned on/off.
( P. 1 1 9 ) The system automatically stores
and registers support points
where the driver always deceler-
ates or stops based on pedal
operation and the vehicle speed
of the driver.
The registered points are shown
on the map as icons for use
as predictive deceleration sup-
port points.
When the position of the vehicle
approaches the registered point,
the icon changes to an empha-
sized icon.
Depending on the system or
driving situation, the engine
brake amount increases after
releasing the accelerator pedal.
As a result, the battery charge
amount can be increased when
decelerating or stopping the
vehicle to enhance fuel econ-
omy.

Navigation system
HIGHLANDER_HIGHLANDER HV_NAVI_(U)
The system reads the road and
traffic conditions ahead to effi-
ciently control the charging and
discharging of the hybrid battery
according to the actual driving
situation.
The capacity of the hybrid bat-
tery is limited. When it is fully
charged, regeneration cannot
occur, and when the battery is
depleted, it may be forcibly
charged by the engine. The sys-
tem predicts these situations to
adjust the battery charge level in
advance, effectively utilizing the
battery.
●The system operates when start-
ing route guidance and the posi-
tion of the vehicle is along the
guided route. (The system does
not operate in parking lots, etc.)
●When multiple destinations are
set, the system will continue to
operate to the last destination.
