Air Conditioning
An automatic air conditioning has been adopted
in consideration to ease of use.
A clean air filter which removes pollen and
dust is included as a standard fitting for puri-
fying the air inside the cab.
Two air conditioning modes, A/C for eco-
nomical air conditioning and MAX for espe-
cially strong air conditioning, are provided.
Wireless Door Lock Remote Control System
With the wireless door lock remote control system, all the doors can be locked and unlocked by signals emitted
by the transmitter.
Power Window System
A power window system which enables all windows to be raised or lowered with switches has been adopted.
An auto up/down function and jam protection function have been added to the driver's power window.
HV Immobiliser System
HV immobiliser system will not allow the HV system to be started by duplicate key is used. This system
will permit the HV system to be started only when the ID code of the transponder chip impregnated in the
key matches the ID code registered beforehand in the transponder key amplifier.
Theft Deterrent System
When an attempt is made to forcibly enter the vehicle or open the hood or trunk lid without a key, or when
the battery terminals are removed and reconnected, this system sounds the horn and flashes the headlights,
taillights and emergency flashers for about 1 minute to alert the owner. At the same time, it locks all the
doors.
Storage Space
Ample storage space with an emphasis on practicality provided throughout the Prius.

ENERGY ABSORBING MECHANISM
The energy absorbing mechanism in the steering column consists of a lower bracket, breakaway bracket, en-
ergy absorbing plate and a contractile main shaft. The steering column is mounted onto the instrument panel
reinforcement via a lower bracket and breakaway bracket which is supported via a capsule and energy absorb-
ing plate. The steering column and the steering gear box are connected with a contractile intermediate shaft.
Operational examples of this mechanism are follows.
When the steering gear box moves during a collision (primary collision), the main shaft and the intermediate
shaft contract, thus reduce the chance that the steering column and the steering wheel protrude into the cabin.
When an impact is transmitted to the steering wheel in a collision (secondary collision), the steering wheel
and the driver airbag help absorb the impact. In addition, the breakaway bracket and the lower bracket sepa-
rate, causing the entire steering column to move forward.
At this time, the energy absorbing plate becomes deformed to help absorb the impact of the secondary collision.

2. Body Shell
The joining construction (A-A cross section) of the cowl side panel, front pillar, and the instrument panel
reinforcement has been optimized to restrain the generation of vibrations.
By joining the under body and the front pillar with a pillar brace (B-B cross section), as well as the upper
end of the front pillar with the roof header (C-C cross section), the generation of vibrations has been re-
strained.
By providing a gusset (D) in the quarter wheel house and a reinforcement (E) in the upper back panel, the
generation of vibrations in the rear body area has been restrained.

The signals from this sensor are directly trans-
mitted to the air conditioning ECU.
3) Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor has been
provided behind the evaporator in the air
conditioning unit.
The signals from this sensor are directly trans-
mitted to the air conditioning ECU.
4) Solar Sensor
The solar sensor has been provided on top of
the instrument panel.
The signals from this sensor are directly trans-
mitted to the air conditioning ECU.
5) Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
The water temperature sensor has been pro-
vided on the water outlet area on the left side
of the engine.
The signals from this sensor are transmitted to
the air conditioning ECU via the ECM.

2. PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN INSPECT-
ING OR SERVICING ENGINE COMPARTMENT
The PRIUS, automatically turns the engine ON and OFF when
the ignition switch is set to the ON position provided that the
READY light on the instrument panel is it.
Before inspecting or servicing the engine compartment, there-
fore, remove the ignition switch key.
3. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN BATTERIES ARE DE-
PLETED
(a) Actions to be taken when the auxiliary battery is depleted
HINT:
The following phenomena indicate that the auxiliary battery is
depleted:
No display appears on the instrument panel when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
The hybrid system does not start.
The headlights are dark.
The sound from the horn is weak.
NOTICE:
Never use a quick charger.
(1) Move the shift lever to the P position, and engage
the parking brake.
(2) Remove the ignition key plate from the ignition
switch.
(3) Using a booster cable, connect the 12 V battery of
the rescue vehicle and auxiliary battery of the
stalled vehicle, as shown in the illustration.
(4) Start the engine of the rescue vehicle and run the
engine at a speed slightly higher than the idling
speed for 5 minutes to charge the auxiliary battery
of the stalled vehicle.
(5) Turn the ignition switch of the stalled vehicle to the
START position to start the hybrid system.
If the hybrid system fails to start and the master and HV battery
warning lights come on, the HV battery may have been dis-
charged.
(6) Disconnect the booster cable in the reverse way of
the connection procedure.
NOTICE:
If the auxiliary battery needs to be replaced, replace it only
with a 12 V battery specially designed for the use of the
PRIUS.
