fication, which is activated when impact above a certain level is applied to
the vehicle, or when the airbags operate. This battery is a primary battery,
and cannot be charged. The red LED indicator will flash to indicate that the
battery should be replaced.
The backup battery will need to be replaced if the Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation operates for 60 seconds or more. For replacement, consult your Toy-

tion (contact your Toyota dealer)

■Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision,
the system is designed to automatically call the response center.
The responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent
automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest
emergency services provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the location.

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47856U_(U)
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergency repair with the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction
may occur.
■Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle
use. Do not connect the repair kit to any other source.
●If gasoline splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate.
Ta k e c a r e n o t t o a l l o w gasoline to contact it.
●Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt
or water.
●Store the re pa ir kit in the luggage compartment ou t of reach of chil-
dren.
●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such
as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
