1-1. Plug-in hybrid system
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47818U_(U)
■Refilling fuel
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be driven using electricity charged from an exter-
nal power source, however the gasoline engine that is provided on board as
an auxiliary power source and as a power source for driving in HV mode
needs to be filled with fuel. Check the fuel amount and refill immediately
when the fuel level becomes low. (→P. 1 7 4 )
■Gasoline engine operation in EV mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and EV driving range (→P. 5 8 , 2 6 8 ) i s b e i n g d i s p l a y e d ,
the gasoline engine may operate automatically in the following circum-
stances (EV driving will be returned to automatically after EV driving
becomes possible again):
●When the heater etc. is in use.
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high
speeds, etc.
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is low.
The vehicle has been left in temperatures lower than about 32 °F (0 °C)
for a long period of time etc.
●When power is needed temporarily, for example when accelerating sud-
denly.
●When vehicle speed is more than approximately 62 mph (100 km/h).
●When the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill
etc.
●When the outside temperature is low (less than 14 °F [-10 °C])
The gasoline engine may also operate in circumstances other than those
listed above, depending on conditions.

As shown below, the driving conditions of the vehicle can be con-
firmed by checking the status of the indicator bar.
*1: The images are examples only, and may vary slightly from actual condi-
tions.
*2: If the gasoline engine is operated (for example when driving at high
speeds or using the heater), the EV indicator may turn off even if the bar
is in the EV driving area. (→P. 4 0 )
Multi-information display*1
Charge area:
Shows that energy is being
recovered via the regenera-
tive braking system. (→P. 3 4 )
EV driving area:
Shows that the vehicle is
being powered only by elec-
tric motor
(traction motor).*2
Power area:
Shows that the gasoline
engine is used as auxiliary
power (during full power driv-
ing etc.).

CAUTION
Properly shielded a grounded cables and connectors must be used for con-
nection to host computer and / or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission
limits.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation of this device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux la partie 15 des règles de la FCC et
CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil
doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Expo-
sure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio fre-
quency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE).
But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radia-
tor at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities:
hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements
énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles les
radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directices d’exposition dans le Sup-
plément C à OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF)
CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui est
considérée conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition maximale autorisée.
Cependant, cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé en gardant une dis-
tance de 20 cm ou plus entre le dispositif rayonnant et le corps (à l’exception
des extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et chivilles).

■When using a portable audio device connected to the power outlet
Noise may occur during playback. Use the power source of the portable
audio device.
This port can be used to connect a portable audio device and listen
to it through the vehicle’s speakers.
