PRIUS c_UThe installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehic
le could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense C
● Cruise control system
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary meas ures or spe-
cial instructions regarding instal lation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High  voltage  parts  and  cables  on  the  hybrid  vehicles  emit  appro ximately  the
same  amount  of  electromagnetic  waves  as  the  conventional  gasoli ne  pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances  despite of  their  el ectromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deplo yed, open a
door  or  window  to  allow  fresh  air  in,  or  leave  the  vehicle  if  i t  is  safe  to  do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin ir ritation. 
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad  and  front  and  rear  pillar  garnishes,  are  damaged  or  cracked ,  have
them replaced by your Toyota dealer.
● Do  not  place  anything,  such  as  a  cushion,  on  the  front  passenger’s  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents t he sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of  a collision.
■ Modification and disposal of  SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbag s.
● Repairs,  modifications,  removal  or  replacement  of  the  steering  wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, s ide and rear
pillars or roof side rails.
● Repairs  or  modifications  of  the  front  fender,  front  bumper,  or  side  of  the
occupant compartment.
● Installation  of  a  grille  guard  (bull  bars,  kangaroo  bar,  etc.),   snow  plows,
winches, or roof luggage carrier.
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system.
● Installation  of  electronic  devices  such  as  mobile  two-way  radio s  and  CD
players.
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disa bility.

For safety and security
PRIUS c_U
■If a  warning  light comes  on, a  warning  message is displayed,  or the 12-
volt battery has been disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dea ler.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started,
refuel  the  vehicle  with  at  least  enough  gasoline  to  make  the  lo w  fuel  level
warning  light  ( P.  482)  go  off.  If  there  is  only  a  small  amount  of  fuel,  the
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of  fuel is about
1.3 gal. [5.0 L, 1.1 Imp. gal.] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may  vary  when  the  vehicle  is  on  a  slope. Add  extra  fuel  when  th e  vehicle  is
inclined.)
■ Electromagnetic waves
●High  voltage  parts  and  cables  on  hybrid  vehicles  incorporate  el ectromag-
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec-
tromagnetic  waves  as  conventional  gasoline  powered  vehicles  or  home
electronic appliances.
● Your  vehicle  may  cause  sound  interference  in  some  third  party-p roduced
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.

■ If you lose your keys
New  genuine  keys  can  be  made  by  your Toyota  dealer  using  the  ot her  keys
(including mechanical key) and the key number stamped on your k ey number
plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not  in the vehicle. 
■ When riding in an aircraft
When  bringing  a  key  with  wireless  remote  control  function  onto  an  aircraft,
make  sure  you  do  not  press  any  buttons  on  the  key  while  inside  the  aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure tha t the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft. When    is  pressed  for  longer  than
about  one  second,  an  alarm  will  sound
intermittently  and  the  vehicle  lights  will
flash  to  deter  any  person  from  trying  to
break into or damage your vehicle.
To  stop  the  alarm,  press  any  button  on
the wireless remote control.
