Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■ If a message about an operation is shown
●If a message about an operation of the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is
shown
A warning message about an operation of the brake pedal may be shown
while the driving assist systems such as PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if
equipped) or the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range (if
equipped) is operating. If a warning message is shown, be sure to deceler-
ate the vehicle or follow an instruction shown on the multi-information dis-
play.

When trouble arises
■If “Shift System Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” is shown
Indicates a malfunction in the shift control system. Immediately have the sys-
tem inspected by your Toyota dealer.
The system may not operate properly.
■ If “Low 12-Volt Battery Apply Park ing Brake Securely While Parking See
Owner’s Manual” is shown
Indicates that the 12-volt battery charge is insufficient. Charge or replace the
12-volt battery.
● When the message is shown, the hybrid system may not start or the shift
position may not be changed normally. (Coping method: P. 671)
● After charging the 12-volt battery, the message may not go off until the shift
position is changed from P.
■ If “Shifting Unavailable Low 12-Volt Battery See Owner’s Manual” is
shown
Indicates that the shift position cannot be changed because the voltage of the
12-volt battery drops. Charge or replace the 12-volt battery.
(Coping method in the case the 12-volt battery is discharged: P. 711)
■ If “Hybrid System Overheated. Re duced Output Power.” is shown
The message may be shown when driving under severe operating conditions.
(For example, when driving up a long steep hill or driving up a steep hill in
reverse.)
Coping method: P. 717
■ If “Maintenance Required for Hybr id Battery Cooling Parts at Your
Dealer” is shown
There is a possibility that the filter may be clogged, the air intake vent may be
blocked, or there may be a gap in the duct. Have maintenance performed on
the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling component at your Toyota dealer.
■ If “Hybrid Battery Low. Shift Out of to Recharge.” is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is low.
As the hybrid battery (traction battery) can not be charged when the shift
position is in N, when stopped for long periods of time shift the shift position to
P.
■ If “Hybrid Battery Low Hybrid Syst em Stopped Shift to and Restart”
is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is low, because vehicle has been shifted to N for a long period of
time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to P and restart the hybrid system.
■ If “Shift to Position When Parked” is shown
Message is displayed when the driver’s door is opened without turning the
power switch to off with the shift position in any position other than P.
Shift the shift position to P.

PRIUS_OM_OM47A29U_(U)■
If “Shift is in Release Acceler ator Before Shifting” is shown
Message is displayed when the accelerator pedal has been depressed and
the shift position is in N.
Release the accelerator pedal and shift the shift position to D or R.
■ If “Depress Brake When Vehicle is Stopped. Hybrid System may Over-
heat.” is shown
The message may be shown when the accelerator pedal is depressed to hold
the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped on an uphill, etc.
The hybrid system may overheat. Release the accelerator pedal and depress
the brake pedal.
■ If “Shifted to Stop Vehicle to Shift to ” is shown
●If the P position switch is pressed while driving, the shift position is changed
to N and the message is shown. ( P. 236)
● If the voltage of the 12-volt battery drops and the shift position cannot be
shown
*, the message may be shown when starting the hybrid system. In
this case, check the voltage of the 12-volt battery.
(Coping method in the case the 12-volt battery is discharged: P. 711)
*: When the voltage of the 12-volt battery drops while the shift position in P,
the front wheels may be locked by the parking lock even if the message is
shown.
■ If “Auto Power OFF to Conserve Battery” is shown
The power switch has been turned off by the automatic power off function.
When starting the hybrid system next time, operate the hybrid system for
approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery.
■ If “Forward Camera System Unavaila ble” or “Forward Camera System
Unavailable Clean Windshield” is displayed. *
The following systems may be suspended until the problem shown in the
message is resolved.
● PCS (Pre-Collision System)

When recharging or repl acing the 12-volt battery
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
● The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery
has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
● The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-
tery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the
12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery,
turn the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-
tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels
will be locked. ( P. 648)
■ When exchanging the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
● Use a 12-volt battery with the same case size as the previous 12-volt battery
and an equivalent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
● For details, consult your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■ Cautions during customization
As the hybrid system needs to be oper ating during customization, ensure
that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed
area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide
(CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
■ During customization
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while customizing features.
