561-2. Child safety
PRIUS_OM_OM47D44U_(U)
Riding with children
●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact wit h the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switc h to
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the
power window accidentally. ( P. 184, 214)
● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi -
cle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
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 side windows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features of the vehi-
cle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.

When trouble arises
After stopping the hybrid system and waiting for 5 minutes or
more, start the hybrid system again and check if “Hybrid System
Overheated” is shown on the multi-information display.
If the message d oes not disappear:
Stop the hybrid system and contact your Toyota dealer.

be driven normally.
However, if the message appears again frequently, contact your Toyota
dealer.
WARNING
■ To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
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 ho od until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “Ac cessory”,
“Ignition ON” or mileage display ( P. 116) on the main display and the
“READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may au tomati-
cally start, or the cooling fans 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 caps while the hybrid syste m and radi-
ator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
