WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the front sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
● Keep the windshield clean at all times. If the windshield is dirty or covered
with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clear the windshield. If the
inner side of the windshield in front of the front sensor is dirty, contact your
Toyota dealer.
● If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside
of the vehicle, such as in winter, the windshield is likely to fog up easily. If
the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may flash and the
system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the windshield
defogger to remove the fog, etc. ( P. 372)
● If the area of the windshield in front of the front sensor is covered with
water droplets, use the windshield wipers to remove them.
If the water droplets are not sufficiently removed, the performance of the
front sensor may be reduced.
●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,
to the outer side of the windshield in
front of the front sensor (shaded area in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-
tion).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)

With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■Checking the engine oilPark the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine
and turning off the hybrid system , wait more than 5 minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check the

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changingthe engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, wait
more than 5 minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.

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.

5309-1. Specifications
PRIUS c_U (OM52F96U)
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 wi th a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark
is added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you
should use.
Cooling system
Capacity Gasoline engine
Power control unit 5.6 qt. (5.3 L, 4.7 Imp. qt.)
1.7 qt. (1.6 L, 1.4 Imp. qt.)
Coolant type Use either of the following:
• “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
• A similar high-quality ethylene glycol-
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-
nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-
life hybrid organic acid technology
Do not use plain water alone.
