There are air intake vents on both
sides of the rear seatback for the
purpose of cooling the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery). If the vents
are blocked, charging/discharg-
ing of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may become limited.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and
stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leak-
age. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the
instructions.

“Traction Battery Cooler” (if equipped)
When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is hot, this function pro-
tects it by using the vehicle air conditioning to cool it before
charging is carried out.
When the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is above a certain
temperature and the power
switch is turned off, a check
screen is displayed on the
multi-information display that
indicates whether “Traction Bat-
tery Cooler” is implemented.
When “No” is selected, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling sys-
tem does not operate.
Q“Traction Battery Heater”
O“Traction Battery Heater” may operate when charging is not being per-
formed.
OWhen “Traction Battery Heater” is operating, the charging indicator illumi-
nates.
OWhen “Traction Battery Heater” is operating during charging, the charging
time may be longer than normal.
OIf the outside temperature becomes high while “Traction Battery Heater” is
operating, charging may complete earlier than the “Departure” time set.
(P. 166)
O“Traction Battery Heater” can be turned on and off in the “Vehicle Settings”
settings on the multi-information display. (P. 724)
O“Traction Battery Heater” may operate even when the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is fully charged depending on the temperature of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery).
• The remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) decreases
when “Traction Battery Heater” operates. The charging operation may
start again to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
• “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled Charging Connector” may be shown
when the charging connector is removed while recharging. (P. 187)

Prius Plug-in Hybrid_OM_OM47E75E_(EE)Q“Traction Battery Cooler” (if equipped)
OWhen the hybrid battery (traction battery) is above a certain temperature
and the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the multi-
information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Cooler” is imple-
mented. Approximately 5 minutes after selecting “Yes” on this screen, sys-
tem operation becomes possible.
OWhen charging starts, “Traction Battery Cooler” only operates if the hybrid
battery (traction battery) temperature is hot.
OThe charging indicator is illuminated while “Traction Battery Cooler” is on
standby or operating.
O“Traction Battery Cooler” is implemented for a maximum of approximately
30 minutes. However, when the “Departure” time is set (P. 166) and there
is not sufficient time between the current time and the time that charging will
complete, “Traction Battery Cooler” operation time may become shorter.
OWhen there is a small amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), even if the hybrid battery (traction battery) is hot, “Traction
Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
OWhen the following operations are performed while “Traction Battery Cooler”
is operating, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling operation stops.
• A door is opened
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to any mode other than off
• The alarm operates (if equipped) (P. 76)
• The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated (P. 535)
• “Charge Now” is implemented (P. 167)
• The amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
below a certain amount
OWhen the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the
multi-information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Cooler” is
implemented. This check screen can be turned on and off in the “Meter Cus-
tomize” settings on the multi-information display (P. 250). However, when
the check screen is set to “Off”, “Traction Battery Cooler” is no longer oper-
ates.
O“Traction Battery Cooler” uses the power of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) and external power source.
• While “Traction Battery Cooler” is operating, the amount of the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) increases and decreases in
a certain range, and does not increase as in normal charging.
• The operation of “Traction Battery Cooler” is recognized as charging by a
charger. The charger that calculates the fee according to charging time
causes a charging fee.
