◆“Fuel Consumption Record”
When the unit is set to “km/h”
The transitions of the average fuel consumption after the hybrid
system starts can be checked in units of 1 km (0.6 mile) or 5 km
(3.1 miles) of driving.
When the unit is set to “MPH” (if equipped)
The transitions of the average fuel consumption after the hybrid
system starts can be checked in units of 1 mile (1.6 km) or 5 miles
(8 km) of driving.

The “ 1 km” display is shown as an example. However, the
basic method for how to read the screen is the same for each fuel

Driving
Opening the fuel tank cap
●Turn the power switch off and ensure that all the doors and win-
dows are closed.
●Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P. 736

Before refueling the vehicle

5807-1. Maintenance and care
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47C99E_(EE)
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■Cleaning the air intake vents and filters
●Dust on the air intake vents or filters may interferes cooling of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and results in poor electricity and fuel consumption.
Clean the air intake vents and filters periodically.
●If continuing to drive the vehicle with “Maintenance required for Traction bat-
tery cooling parts See owner’s manual” shown on the multi-information dis-
play, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may overheat, leading to
decreasing in distance that can be driven using the electric motor. It may
cause poor electricity and fuel consumption or a malfunction. If the warning
message is shown, clean the air intake vents and filters immediately.
●Improper handling may result in damage to the grille or filters. If you have
any concerns about cleaning the filters, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●If the warning message on the multi-information display does not disappear
after cleaning the filters, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Timing of cleaning filters differs depending on the use environment of the
vehicle.

ever, depending on the type of malfunction, an interim measure is
available to start the hybrid system. ( P. 707)
● There is a possibility that the temperature of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is extremely low (approximately below -30 C
[-22 F]). (P. 111 , 3 5 3 )

One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. (P. 712)
● The 12-volt battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.
( P. 599)
Reasons for the hybrid system not starting vary depending on
the situation. Check the following and perform the appropriate
