PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47856U_(U)
CAUTION
■Precautions for the Remote Air Conditioning System
●Do not use the system if people are in the vehicle.
• Even when the system is in use, the internal temperature may still
reach a high level due to features such as the automatic shut-off. Chil-
dren and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke or dehydra-
tion, or could result in death or serious injury.
• The wipers can be operated during system operation. Children or pets left inside the vehicle may mistakenly operate these and cause an acci-
dent.
● Depending on the surrounding environment , signals from the wireless
switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when necessary.
● Turn the wipers off. If the Remote Air Conditioning System operates while
the wiper switch is in the on position, the wipers may operate and objects
may get caught in the wiper blades.
● Do not operate the if the hood is open. The air conditioning may
operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical cool-
ing fan.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery) from being discharged
through incorrect operation
Use the only when necessary.

CAUTION
■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, it may open while the vehicle is in motion
and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.
■ After installing the support rod into the slot
Make sure the rod supports the hood securely from falling down on to your
head or body.
Hold the hood open by insert-
ing the supporting rod into
either of the slots.
Use the forward slot to open
the hood normally, or use the
rearward slot when the hood
needs to be opened wide.

CAUTION
■
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the
“POWER” switch and the “READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-
cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fans,
which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Wait until the hybrid system has cooled down before adding engine/power
control unit coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid sys-
tem too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additives.
