■ 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 braking 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 route, the system
reduces the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) level 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 engine to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
due to low battery levels.
