CAUTION
■Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions
may occur and result in an accident causing death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resu lting from overheated tires
●Poor sealing of the tire bead
●Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
●A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
Without the valve caps, dirt or mo isture could get into the valve and
cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps are lost,
replace them as soon as possible.

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
■
Replacing light bulbs
●Be sure to stop the hybrid system and turn off the lights. Do not attempt to
replace the bulb immediately after turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When i\
t is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
● Do not attempt to repair or disassemble light bulbs, connectors, electric
circuits or component parts.
Doing so may result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
■ To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

CAUTION
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-ti re pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltal e (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pre ssure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire ma intenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illu mination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator to indi cate when the system is not operat-
ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi-
cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system det ects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi cator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.

Warning messageDetailsCorrection procedure
(If equipped) • Indicates that the pre-collision
system is not currently func-
tional because the grille or the
sensor is dirty.
• This message also appears when the pre-collision system
is not functional due to over-
heating. • Check the grille
and the sensor and
clean them if they
are dirty.
• In case of over- heating, the system
will become func-
tional once the sys-
tem cools down.
(Flashes)
(If equipped) Indicates that the radar cruise
control sensor is dirty or cov-
ered with ice.
Clean the sensor.
(Flashes)
(If equipped) Indicates that the radar cruise
control system is unable to
judge vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.
If the windshield
wipers are on, turn
them off or set
them to either the
intermittent or the
slow mode.

PRIUS_OM_OM47857U_DVD_(U)
Warning messageDetailsCorrection procedure
(If equipped) Indicates that the LKA (Lane-
Keeping Assist) is suspended
• The camera sensor tempera-
ture is higher than the opera-
tion temperature range.
• The power steering system operation is restricted. Restart the LKA
after driving for a
while.
Alerts the driver that the vehi-
cle is out of the lanes (while
the LKA [Lane-Keeping Assist]
system is operating). The warning buzzer sounds
continuously. The lane mark-
ings and/or the steering
wheel marking flash.
At the same time,
will appear on the
head-up display (the image
flashes). Check around the
vehicle and back to
inside of the lane
markings.
Indicates that the LKA (Lane-
Keeping Assist) system
detects nohanded driving
(while the lane keeping assist
function is operating). The warning buzzer sounds
twice. Grip the steering
wheel firmly.
The hybrid system has over-
heated. A buzzer also sounds.
This message may be dis-
played when driving under
severe operating conditions.
(For example, when driving
up a long steep hill.) Stop and check.

(Flashes) Pressed the P position switch
while the vehicle is running.
The shift position automati-
cally changed to N. To shift the shift
position to P, stop
the vehicle com-
pletely and press
the P position
switch.
(Flashes) The accelerator pedal is
depressed to stop the vehicle
on an upward slope etc.
A buzzer also sounds.
If this continues, the hybrid
system may overheat. Release the accel-
erator pedal and
depress the brake
pedal.
