For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-
ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for
equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunct\
ion.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance,
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod-
ification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may
not be covered under warranty.

■
Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles incorporate electro-
magnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) (lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity (the ability to hold a charge)
reduces with time and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries.
The extent at which capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the
environment (ambient temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as \
how
the vehicle is driven and how the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunc-
tion. Also, even though the distance that can be driven in EV mode
decreases when the hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity reduces, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly become worse.
In order to reduce the possibility of the capacity reducing, follow the direc-
tions listed on P. 98, “Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery)”.

NOTICE
■
Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
●Do not put foreign objects near the air vents. The hybrid battery (traction
battery) may overheat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery (traction
battery) output or a malfunction.
● Clean the air vents regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery)
from overheating.
● Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vents as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● If the rear seat belt becomes separated from the guide ( P. 154), it could
obstruct the hybrid battery (traction battery) air vent. Set the rear seat belt
into the guide to use.
■ Notice about fuel
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and
undergo changes in quality depending on the how the vehicle is used.
Refuel at least 5.3 gal.(20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 6 months (refuel a
total of at least 5.3 gal. [20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 6-month period), as this
may affect components of the fuel system or the gasoline engine.

Charging messages
The first time the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode
after charging is completed, a
message detailing the results of
the charging will be displayed.
Also, if an operation which can-
not be carried out is attempted
during charging, a warning mes-
sage will be displayed.
( P. 570)
Comply with the instructions in
the message and carry out any
necessary operations.
The message may not be dis-
played if the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System ( P. 377) has
been used.
■ Amount of time until charging is complete
Charging fully from when an EV drivi ng range is not displayed (0 mile [0 km])
on the multi-information display ( P. 58) will take approximately 2.5 hours
(AC120 V).
The amount of time until charging is complete will change in accordance with
the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery), the
outside temperature, etc.
■ During charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.

■Safety functions
●The hybrid system will not start while the charging cable is attached to
the vehicle, even if the “POWER” switch is operated.
● If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving will not be
possible.
● When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position
cannot be changed from P to another position.
● If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin even if the
charging cable is connected.
Also, charging will be stopped if the latch release button is pressed and
held for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, rein-
sert the charging connector after pulling it out, and check that the charg-
ing indicator illuminates.
■ For correct operat ion of the charging timer function
Check the following points.
● Check that the time is correct.
● Check that the “POWER” switch is OFF.
● Do not use a connector which has an electricity interruption function
(including timer functions).
(Use a connector which supplies electricity normally.)
■ Automatic cancelation of th e charging timer function
● If the Remote Air Conditioning System is operated while the charging
cable is connected, the charging timer function will be canceled. Charg-
ing will commence after the Remote Air Conditioning System has been
turned off.
● Charging will not commence if the “POWER” switch is not OFF, even at
the set time.

182 1-7. Refueling
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A11U_(U)
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes passes, the
internal valve closes. In this condition, fuel may spill out if you continue to
refuel the vehicle. About 5 minutes after the valve is closed, a message
“CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the multi-information display. To refuel
the vehicle again, tighten fuel tank cap and close the fuel filler door, and
then press the fuel filler door opener switch again.
● Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
■ Notice about fuel
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and
undergo changes in quality depending on the how the vehicle is used.
Refuel at least 5.3 gal.(20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 6 months (refuel a
total of at least 5.3 gal. [20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 6-month period), as this
may affect components of the fuel system or the gasoline engine.
