Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside
and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P. 155, 156)
Adjusting the mirrors
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
● Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to
feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

401-1. For safe use
PRIUS c_U (OM52E68U)
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag
sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on infor-
mation obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system compo-
nents diagram above. This information includes crash severity and
occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the v ehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10
in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view
of the instrument panel controls.

If the price of gasoline is input, the cost of the consumed fuel according to
the driven distance is displayed. If the fuel consumption comparison is set,
the difference between the input fuel consumption and your vehicle's
actual fuel consumption is expressed as an amount of money that was
possibly saved. (P. 101)
“ECO Savings Record”*
Displays eco savings record. ( P. 102)
“Past Record”*
Displays the best 3 fuel consumption records and the current fuel con-
sumption ranking. Fuel consumption can also be displayed by the month.

“Drive Information”
Depending on whether the odometer or trip meter is displayed, the
displayed contents of average speed, driving time, and EV driving
rate/EV driven distance differ.
● When the odometer is displayed: the record since the hybrid sys-
tem was started is displayed.
● When the trip meter is displayed: the record since the trip meter
was reset is displayed. The record for trip meter A and trip meter
B is displayed separately.
When the trip meter is reset, the record is also reset. ( P. 97)

Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven
with the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption.As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that
displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position, the display may not be updated.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the “POWER” switch off. If the vehicle is refueled
without turning the “POWER” switch off, the display may not be
updated.

Screen off
The screen can be turned off.
The upper part of the screen is always displayed and cannot be turned
off.
When the hybrid system is turned
off, drive information data since
the system was started is dis-
played after the ending animation.
When the doors are locked, the
screen turns off.

The clock is displayed when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The “POWER” switch is in ON mode.
■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using cruise
control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and envi-
ronmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel consumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, drivi ng conditions and environmental fac-
tors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.

The following information data will be reset:
● Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● Average fuel consumption
● Cruising range
● Average vehicle speed
● Driving time
● EV driving rate/EV driven distance
Additionally, some displays may return to their default settings.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
WARNING
■Eco score
Eco score should be used as a guide only. Always drive safely in accor-
dance with road and traffic conditions.
■ The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the hybrid system needs to be running during setting up the display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.
