Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip- ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle. All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice. Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system

Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi- cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle. This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod- ification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi- tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as: ● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system ● Cruise control system ● Anti-lock brake system ● SRS airbag system ● Seat belt pretensioner system Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe- cial instructions regarding installation. High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow- ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding. Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo- nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con- trol batteries.

Vehicle control and operation data recording

Your Toyota is equipped with sophisticated computers that record certain information about your vehicle’s operation, such as: • Engine speed • Motor speed • Accelerator status • Brake status • Vehicle speed • Shift position The data recorded varies according to the grade level and options the vehi- cle is equipped with. The computers do not record conversations, sound or pictures. ● Data usage Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc- tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality. Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except: • With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if

the vehicle is leased In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency

• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

•

vehicle owner

22

PRIUS v_U (OM47674U)

● Event data recorder Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is an event data recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or near crash event. The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or near crash event, this device may record the following information: • Engine speed • Whether the brake pedal was depressed or not • Vehicle speed • To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed • Hybrid transmission shift position • Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not • Driver’s seat position • SRS airbag deployment data • SRS airbag system diagnostic data • Front passenger’s occupant classification The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers. ● Disclosure of the EDR data Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: • An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing company for a

leased vehicle) is obtained

• Officially requested to by the police or other authorities • Necessary, for use as a defense for Toyota in a law suit • Ordered to by a court of law However, if necessary, Toyota will: • Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety performance • Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

details of the vehicle owner, and that only when deemed necessary

• Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification information to a

non-Toyota organization for research purposes

● Safety Connect (U.S. mainland only) If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to those ser- vices, please refer to the Safety Connect Telematics Subscription Service Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.

CAUTION

■General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi- cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury. Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents. Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis- tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.

■General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key. Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

■Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery (traction battery) hav- ing been removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery (traction battery) must be disposed of by your Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.

FEATURES/OPERATIONS

Hybrid Synergy Drive System The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance. NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the Display Audio system screen or the navigation system screen.

Tips for improved fuel economy -Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual. -When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts. -Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway. -When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy. -Minimize use of the Air Conditioning. Starting the Hybrid System

(1) Depress the brake pedal, and

press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.

(2) The “READY” light will blink.

After a few seconds, when the light remains steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

Auto lock/unlock Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in two different modes, or turned OFF. -Doors lock when shifting from Park. -Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher. -Doors unlock when shifting into Park. -Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the “POWER” switch OFF. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
