- Check the status of the automatic system check that runs before charging to detect electrical leakage. If a
malfunction is detected, an error warning indicator
flashes.
- The surface of the CCID may become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
Step 2 Press the charge port lid to open and the charging inlet light will ill\
uminate.

Hybrid Synergy Drive System
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking for\
ce
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In add\
ition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fu\
el economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the Multi-Information Display.
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’\
s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on t\
he highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking ener\
gy.
-Minimize use of the air conditioning.

desired, such as when driving
in mountainous regions.
ECO drive mode -
Helps achieve lower fuel
consumption during trips that
involve frequent accelerating
and braking.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
EV Mode allows the electric motor (traction motor), powered by the hybrid battery
(traction battery), to be used to drive the vehicle under certain driving conditions.

Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) (if equipped)
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like w\
alls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an aud\
ible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply th\
e brakes
if needed. If your vehicle is equipped with ICS, the RCTA system will al\
so have a
braking function that may apply the vehicle’s brakes if the system de\
tects crossing
vehicles while the Prius Prime is backing up.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this \
system.
