Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
There are air intake vents on the side of the rear right seatback and on the front corner of the left rear seat cushion for the purpose of cooling the hybrid battery (traction battery). If the vents become blocked, the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) may over- heat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery (traction battery) output.
Emergency shut off system
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.

Hybrid warning message
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the instructions. (→P. 546)
■If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed or the 12-
volt battery is disconnected The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light (→P. 537) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 1.9 gal. [7.1 L, 1.6 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope.)

■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles incorporate electro- magnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) (lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity (the ability to hold a charge) reduces with time and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries. The extent at which capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (ambient temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven and how the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged. This is a natural characteristic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunc- tion. Also, even though the EV driving range decreases when the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the capacity reducing, follow the direc- tions listed on P. 93, “Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery)”.

CAUTION
■High voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys- tem. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury. ●Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts,
cables or their connectors.
●The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and always obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service plug access hole located in the luggage compartment. The service plug is used only when the vehicle is serviced and is subject to high voltage.

CAUTION
■Road accident cautions
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury: ●Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accidents.
While depressing the brake pedal, apply the parking brake, shift the shift position to P and turn the hybrid system off. Then, slowly release the brake pedal.
●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors. ●If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
●Do not touch the battery if liquid is leaking from or adhering to it.
If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic electrolyte) from the hybrid battery (traction battery) comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it could cause blindness or skin wounds. In the unlikely event that it comes into contact with the eyes or skin, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water, and seek immediate medical attention.
●If electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid battery (traction battery), do not
approach the vehicle. Even in the unlikely event that the hybrid battery (traction battery) is dam- aged, the internal construction of the battery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from leaking out. However, any electrolyte that does leak out will give off an acidic vapor. This vapor is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
●Do not bring burning or high-temperature items close to the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
●If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous.

CAUTION
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause a fire. (→P. 525)
●Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) (lithium-ion battery) replacement and
disposal Do not replace, dispose of, modify, or reuse the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) and do not use it for anything other than its intended use. Contact your Toyota dealer for replacement or disposal. If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is replaced, disposed of, modify or reused in an improper way, or if the hybrid battery (traction battery) is used in a way it is not intended for, there is a risk of severe burns and electrical shock that may result in death or serious injury. Also, improper handling of the hybrid battery (traction battery) can lead to environmental hazards.

NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
●Do not put foreign objects near the air vents. The hybrid battery (traction battery) may overheat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery (traction battery) output or a malfunction.
●Clean the air vents regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery)
from overheating.
●Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vents as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
●Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●If the rear seat belt becomes separated from the guide (→P. 150), it could obstruct the hybrid battery (traction battery) air vent. Set the rear seat belt into the guide to use.
■Notice about fuel
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and undergo changes in quality depending on the how the vehicle is used. Refuel at least 5.3 gal.(20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 6 months (refuel a total of at least 5.3 gal. [20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 6-month period), as this may affect components of the fuel system or the gasoline engine.

1-1. Plug-in hybrid system Plug-in hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following points: ■ Using EV mode and HV mode effectively
Primarily using EV mode when driving in cities and using HV mode when driving on highways (or freeways) can help con- serve fuel and electricity. (→P. 37)
■ Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, a torque corresponding to the accelerator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the opera- tion of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be mini- mized, improving fuel and electricity economy. (→P. 247)
■ Use of Hybrid System Indicator
Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (→P. 268)
■ When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater amount of electrical energy can be retained when slow- ing down.
■ Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to high fuel and electricity consumption. Check traffic reports before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When encountering a delay, gently release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator pedal. Doing so can help control excessive electricity and fuel consumption.
67
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47818U_(U)
1-1. Plug-in hybrid system
■ Highway driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stopping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down. Electricity consumption will increase substantially when driving at high speeds in EV mode. If there will be a long distance to the next external charging point after leaving a freeway, driving in HV mode while on the freeway and in EV mode after leaving the freeway is recommended.
■ Air conditioning on/off
● Switch the air conditioning (
) to off when it is not needed. Doing so can help control excessive electricity and fuel consumption. In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air con- ditioner and reduce fuel consumption as well. In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out until the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will consume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the heater.
● For efficiency, use the Remote Air Conditioning System
before departing while the charging cable is connected.

1-1. Plug-in hybrid system
■ Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. If there is improper tire inflation pressure in the tires, the driving range when in EV mode will become shorter, and fuel consumption when in HV mode will increase. Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry roads can lead to increased fuel and electricity consump- tion.
■ Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage can require excessive energy. Avoid leaving unnecessary luggage in the vehicle. Also, equipping a large roof rack can cause excessive energy consumption in the same way as carrying heavy luggage.
■ Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically, warming up is not necessary.

■Charging time may increase
In the following situations, charging time may become longer than normal: ●In very hot or very cold temperatures. ●The vehicle is consuming a lot of electricity, for example, when the head-
lights or emergency flashers switch is on. ●There is a power outage during charging. ●There is an interruption in the electrical supply. ●There is a drop in the voltage of your panel’s AC supply. ●The charge in the 12-volt battery is low, for example due to the vehicle
being left unused for a long period of time.
■Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
The charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) will decline gradually when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in use. The rate at which it declines will differ in accordance with environmental conditions and the way in which the vehicle is used. By observing the following precautions, battery charge decline can be suppressed. ●Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with a high temperature under direct
sunlight when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged.
●Do not accelerate or decelerate frequently and suddenly when driving in
EV mode.
●Avoid frequent driving near the top speed for EV driving. (→P. 40) ●Leave a low level of charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) when
leaving the vehicle undriven for a long period of time. After confirming that EV mode has switched to HV mode, turn the “POWER” switch off.
●Use the charging timer function as much as possible in order to fully charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) immediately before starting off.
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity reduces, the EV driving range decreases. However, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse.
