’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) Toyota hybrid system Fuel consumption indicators Toyota hybrid system combines the power of an engine and a traction motor to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. In your hybrid vehicle, there are several indicators that show different aspects of fuel consumption: Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle runs optimally on a combination of the engine and traction motor.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) Energy monitor— Toyota hybrid system performs various controls depending on the operating condition. The condition appears on the multi−information display and/or navigation system screen (with navigation system) when the display and/or screen is in “Energy Monitor” mode. See “—Outside temperature and cruise information” on page 135 in Section 1−6 and “Trip information” on page 255 in Section 1−10 for the operation of the display and screen.

Follow the procedure below to start the hybrid system: 1. Make sure that you are carrying the electronic key. 2. Make sure that the transmission is in the “P” position. 3.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) Efficient use of your hybrid vehicle Drive your vehicle with smooth acceleration and deceleration. D While driving, energy is recovered through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decelerates. However, for efficient use, do not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary. D Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. D The power of the hybrid battery can be checked on the multi−information display or the navigation system screen (with navigation system).
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) Precautions for the use of hybrid vehicle— —High voltage components 1. Air conditioning compressor 2. Inverter unit 3. High voltage cables 4. Hybrid battery and DC/DC converter 5. Service plug 6. Traction motor, transaxle and motor generator The hybrid system uses high voltage up to 650 V. High voltage components are indicated in the illustration above. High voltage cables are orange. The system can be hot while and after starting.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) CAUTION The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12−volt system. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury. D Never touch, disassemble, remove Caution label or replace the high voltage parts, cables and their connectors. High voltage parts and cables are indicated in the illustration above.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) —The characteristics of the hybrid vehicle Be sure to put the transmission in the “P” position when parking. In the “N” position, the hybrid battery does not recharge, even if the engine is operating. Leaving the transmission in the “N” position for an extended period of time may discharge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is discharged.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) D High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shieldings. CAUTION D The driver should pay special atten- tion to pedestrians when the vehicle is powered only by the traction motor. Because there is no engine noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) If you open the door with the hybrid system turned on and the transmission is not in the “P” position, a message appears on the multi−information display and navigation system screen (for vehicles with navigation system). For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer. If your vehicle is beyond repair, contact your Toyota dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to dispose of your vehicle by yourself.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) z Do not put foreign objects over the air vent. The hybrid battery may be overheated and damaged. z Do not load a large amount of ter such as an aquarium into vehicle. If water spills over the brid battery, the battery may damaged. wathe hybe z Do not spill water over the air vent. This may adversely affect or damage the hybrid battery. 12 2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod.
’07Camry hybrid_U (L/O 0610) Road accident cautions— CAUTION D Pull your vehicle off the road, put the transmission in the “P” position, apply the parking brake, turn the hybrid system off and carry the key. D In order to avoid death or serious injury, do not touch high voltage wiring, connectors or high voltage parts (inverter unit, hybrid battery and etc.). High voltage parts and cables are indicated in the illustration on page 7.
