There is no P&G in the Camry. It doesn't work. It only works in the Prius. Gliding means no ICE, no battery regeneration by either coasting or braking , and no battery for propulsion. This means no arrows going anywhere on the display. Prius drivers can manipulate the gas pedal to do this, we can't. Camry owners are using this term a little loosely. Sorry, just pet peeve of mine.
