SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your Prius has both high-voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt system. Both
DC and AC high voltage are very dangerous and can cause personal injury, severe burns,
electric shock and even fatal injury.
To avoid personal injury, please follow all caution labels attached to high-voltage parts.
Do not touch or attempt to remove or replace any high-voltage (orange-colored) wiring
and connectors. Do not touch the service plug located in the driver’s side trim of the trunk.
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high-voltage wiring, connectors or parts such as the
inverter unit or hybrid vehicle battery assembly.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide electrolyte that might spill or leak from the hybrid
vehicle battery as the result of an accident. If potassium hydroxide electrolyte gets on
your skin or in your eyes, neutralize it immediately with a saturated boric acid solution
(ratio: 80 grams boric acid to two liters water). Seek immediate medical attention.
If a vehicle re occurs, extinguish it with a Class D powder-type re extinguisher.
Toyota recommends having maintenance and repairs for your Prius performed
by an authorized Toyota dealership. To locate your nearest authorized Toyota
dealership, contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at (800) 331-4331
or log on to www.toyota.com .

INTRODUCTION
A
t Toyota, our top priority is always
our customers. We know your Toyota
is an important part of your life and
something you depend on every day. That’s
why we’re dedicated to building products of
the highest quality and reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is
evidence that we stand behind the quality
of our vehicles. We’re condent — as you
should be — that your Toyota will provide
you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to
our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally
we may establish a special policy
adjustment to pay for specic repairs that
are no longer covered by warranty. When
we establish such a policy adjustment, we
mail details to all applicable owners we
have on record.
To provide you with added protection
against unexpected service costs, we offer
Toyota Financial Services vehicle service
agreements and Toyota Auto Care and
Toyota Care Plus prepaid maintenance
programs. Each offers plans to meet a
wide variety of needs. Your dealership can
help you select the plan that’s best for you. Our goal is for every Toyota customer to
enjoy outstanding quality, dependability

and peace of mind throughout their
ownership experience. We want you to be
a satised member of the Toyota family
for many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of
Toyota warranty coverage as well as
general owner responsibilities. The
scheduled maintenance section
describes your vehicle’s maintenance
requirements. Be sure to review this
information carefully, since proper
maintenance is required to ensure that
warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest
available at the time of publication and is
subject to change without notice.

Settlement Program (or, in California,
the CDSP) before seeking remedies
through a court action pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the
“Act”). However, if you choose to
pursue rights and remedies not created
by the Act, you are not required to use
the Dispute Settlement Program
(CDSP). You may also be required to
use the Dispute Settlement Program or
CDSP before seeking remedies under
the “Lemon Laws” of your state. Please
check this booklet and the appropriate
page of the Owner’s Warranty Rights
Notification booklet for additional
information and the requirements
applicable to your state.

These warranties apply to all 2021 model-

car or demonstrator.

warranties are made at no charge for parts
and labor.

made using new or remanufactured parts.

servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota.
Parts scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until their rst
replacement only.

WARRANTY
Gradual Capacity Reduction
of Traction Battery
(Lithium-ion Battery)
Lithium-ion battery capacity (the ability to
hold a charge) gradually reduces with time
and use. This is a natural characteristic of
lithium-ion batteries. The extent at which
capacity is reduced changes drastically
depending on the environment (ambient
temperature, etc.) and usage conditions such
as how the vehicle is driven and how the
lithium-ion battery is charged. Reduction of
lithium-ion battery capacity is NOT covered
under warranty. In order to lessen the
possibility of capacity reduction, follow the
directions listed in the Owner’s Manual under
“Capacity Reduction of the Hybrid Battery
(Traction Battery).”
Maintenance Expense
Normal maintenance services such as:
• Engine tune-ups
• Replacement of fluids and filters
• Lubrication
• Cleaning and polishing
• Replacement of spark plugs and fuses
• Replacement of worn wiper blades, brake
pads/linings and clutch linings
Vehicles with Altered Odometer
Failure of a vehicle on which the odometer
has been altered so that actual vehicle
mileage cannot be readily determined.



Salvage or Total-Loss Vehicles
Any vehicle that has ever been branded as
salvage, total loss, true mileage unknown or
similar title under any state’s law or has ever
been declared a “total loss” or equivalent by
a nancial institution or insurer, such as by
payment for a claim in lieu of repairs because
the cost of repairs exceeded the cash value
of the vehicle. This exclusion does not apply
to the emission control warranties, including
Emission Control Warranty Enhancements or
any open Safety Recalls/SSCs/LSCs.
Incidental Damages
Incidental or consequential damages
associated with a vehicle failure. Such
damages include but are not limited to
inconvenience; the cost of transportation,
telephone calls and lodging; the loss of
personal or commercial property; and the
loss of pay or revenue.
Disclaimer of Extra
Expenses and Damages
The performance of necessary repairs
and adjustments is the exclusive remedy
under this warranty or any implied
warranty. Toyota does not authorize
any person to create for it any other
obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle. Toyota shall not be liable
for incidental or consequential damages
resulting from breach of this written
warranty or any implied warranty. Any
implied warranty of merchantability or
tness for a particular purpose is limited
to the duration of this written warranty,
except in states where this limitation
is not allowed.

WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED
AND HOW LONG
Emission Defect Warranty
Toyota warrants that your vehicle:
• Was designed, built and equipped to
conform at the time of sale with
applicable federal emissions standards.
• Is free from defects in materials and
workmanship that may cause the
vehicle to fail to meet these standards.
Federal regulations require that this
warranty be in effect for two years or
24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever occurs rst. However,
under the terms of the Basic Warranty,
Toyota provides coverage of three years or
36,000 miles, whichever occurs rst.
Specic components may have longer
coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in the parts
list on pages 19 –20 have coverage of
eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs rst.


Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have
established vehicle inspection and
maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage
proper vehicle maintenance. If an
EPA-approved I/M program is in force in
your area, you are eligible for Emission
Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission
Performance Warranty and federal
regulations, Toyota will make all necessary
repairs if both of the following occur:
• Your vehicle fails to meet applicable
emissions standards as determined by
an EPA-approved emissions test.
• This failure results or will result in
some penalty to you — such as a
fine or denial of the right to use
your vehicle — under local, state or
federal law.
This warranty is in effect for two years or
24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever occurs rst. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in the parts
list on pages 19 –20 have coverage of
eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs rst.
FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
