For your information


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.


22


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


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 of a mobile two-way radio system. 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.


23


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


Vehicle data recordings


Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record certain data, such as: • Engine speed • Electric motor speed (traction motor speed) • Accelerator status • Brake status • Vehicle speed • Shift position • Hybrid battery (traction battery) status The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con- versations, sounds 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 use by Toyota in a lawsuit • For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or



vehicle owner


● Usage of data collected through 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.


24


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


Event data recorder


This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur- pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: • How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-


• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake


tened;


pedal; and,


• How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situa- tion occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi- tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.


25


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


● 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 lessee for a leased vehicle)


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


• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit However, if necessary, Toyota may: • Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance • Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing



information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner


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.


26


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


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, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.


27


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


CAUTION


■Hybrid battery (traction battery)


Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery (traction battery). To pre- vent accidents, hybrid batteries (traction batteries) that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through Toyota dealers. Do not dis- pose of the battery yourself. Unless the battery is properly collected, the following may occur, resulting in death or serious injury: • The hybrid battery (traction battery) may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and someone may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.


• The hybrid battery (traction battery) is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid vehicle. If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is used outside of your vehicle or modified in any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur.


When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be aware of these dangers.


■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.

1-1. Hybrid system Hybrid system features


Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the char- acteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care. The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.


Gasoline engine Electric motor (traction motor)


32


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)

1-1. Hybrid system


■ When stopped/during start off


The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped. During start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is stopped* and the electric motor (traction motor) is used. When shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged. Thus, shift to P when the vehicle is stopped. In addition, when driving in heavy traffic, use D or B. *: However, when the hybrid battery (traction battery) need to be charged or while the engine is being warmed up, the gasoline engine may not stop automatically. (P. 35)


■ During normal driving


The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as necessary.


■ When accelerating sharply


When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to that of the gaso- line engine via the electric motor (traction motor).


■ When braking (regenerative braking)


The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery).


33


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


1-1. Hybrid system


Vehicle proximity notification system


When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, a sound, which changes in accordance with the driving speed, will be played in order to warn people nearby of the vehicle’s approach. The sound will stop when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).


■Regenerative braking


In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery). ●The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D


or B.


●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or


B.


■Hybrid System Indicator


Hybrid System Indicator represents the hybrid system power output and regener- ative charging. (P. 227)


34


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)

1-1. Hybrid system


■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop


The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop automatically in the following conditions*: ●During gasoline engine warm-up ●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or


low


●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging ●When the heater is switched on *: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop


automatically in situations other than those above.


■Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)


●As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to jump-start the vehicle with the 12-volt battery, contact your Toyota dealer.


●If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged. Always shift the shift position in P when the vehicle is stopped. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift position in D or B to avoid discharging the hybrid battery (traction battery).


■Charging the 12-volt battery


P. 558


■After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or


removed The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Toyota dealer.


35


PRIUS_OM_OM47A17U_DVD_(U)


1-1. Hybrid system


■Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle


There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift the shift position to P when parked. The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are not a malfunction: ●The brake system operation sound heard from the front of the vehicle


when the driver’s door is opened.


●Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment. ●Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) when the


hybrid system starts or stops.


●Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine


starts or stops, when driving at low speeds, or during idling.


●Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply. ●Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal


is depressed and accelerator is loosened.


●Other sounds, such as motors and mechanical noises, may be heard


from the brake system when the brake pedal is depressed.


●Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops. ●Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent. (P. 39) ●The operation sound of the air conditioning system (air conditioning com-


pressor, blower motor).

■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. 508) 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)


The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving style and driving conditions.

■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.


●If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.


●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.


●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. 495)


●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.

1-1. Hybrid system Hybrid vehicle driving tips


For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following points: ■ Using Eco drive mode


When using Eco drive mode, the 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 the fuel economy. (P. 207)


■ Use of Hybrid System Indicator


Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (P. 227)


■ 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 bad fuel 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 gasoline consumption.


■ 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.

■ Air conditioning on/off


) to off when it is not needed.


Switch the air conditioning ( Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption. In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioner 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.


■ Checking tire inflation pressure


Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consump- tion. Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry roads can lead to poor fuel consumption. Use a tire that is appropriate for the season.


■ Luggage


Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also cause poor fuel consumption.


■ Warming up before driving


Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, frequently driving short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly warm up, which can lead to poor fuel consumption.
