OVERVIEWELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid system has features of both electric and hybrid vehicles.
Electricity received by charging from an external power source can be used to
supplement hybrid energy, and the vehicle can also be driven as an electric
vehicle using only the electric motor. The EV driving range can be extended by
using regenerative braking to store electricity in the traction battery.

If the Tire Pressure Warning indicator “” illuminates without blinking, adjust
tire pressures to factory-specified levels.* The light will turn off after a few
minutes. The warning light is designed to turn on when tire pressure is critically
low, but it may also come on due to temperature changes or changes in tire
pressure from natural air leakage.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
