2006 HIGHLANDER (Hybrid) from Mar. ’05 Prod. (OM48530U)
Toyota hybrid system combines the
power of a gasoline engine and a trac-
tion motor to minimize fuel consump-
tion and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the gasoline engine and traction motor.
Since the gasoline engine charges the
traction battery as needed, the battery
does not have to be charged from an
outside source like an electric vehicle.
If you do not use the vehicle for 2
weeks or more, the traction battery and
auxiliary battery will discharge and their
condition is liable to decline. Therefore,
in order to make up for discharging,
charge them once in every 2 weeks for
about 30 minutes by starting the hybrid
system with all electrical components
turned off. If the traction battery is dis-
charged, the hybrid vehicle will not start.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
Toyota hybrid system performs various
controls depending on the operating
condition. The condition appears on the
multi−information display and/or naviga-
tion system screen (with navigation
system) when the display and/or screen
is in “Energy Monitor” mode. See “Mul-
ti−information display” on page 152 in
Section 1−6 and “Trip information” on
page 273 in Section 1−10 for the opera-
tion of the display and screen.
These are representative examples of
energy monitor displays. Depending on
the condition, the energy monitor dis-
plays the graphics different from those
shown below. Depending on conditions,
the graphic does not reflect the actual
motion of the vehicle.
