Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns. ●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot. ●After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the power switch and the “READY” indicator are off. When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati- cally start, or the cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting in serious injury. ●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia- tor are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out. PRIUS v_OM_OM47887U_(U) 8-2. Steps to take in an emergency 545 NOTICE ■When adding engine/power control unit coolant Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system. ■To prevent damage to the cooling system Observe the following precautions: ●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.). ●Do not use any coolant additive. PRIUS v_OM_OM47887U_(U) 546 8-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the vehicle becomes stuck Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow: Set the parking brake and shift the shift position to P. Stop the hybrid system. Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire. Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires to help provide traction. Restart the hybrid system. Shift the shift position to D or R, release the parking brake and carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle. ■When it is difficult to free the vehicle Press to turn off TRAC. (P. 246)  Vehicles without multi-infor- mation display  Vehicles with multi-informa- tion display PRIUS v_OM_OM47887U_(U) 8-2. Steps to take in an emergency 547 WARNING ■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution. ■When changing the shift position Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed. Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the vehicle to accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. NOTICE ■To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components ●Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than necessary. ●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehicle may require towing to be freed.

Specifications ■ Engine oil selection “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the following grade and viscosity. Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20 SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-20 oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change. Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example): • The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
