801-3. Hybrid system
PRIUS_OM_OM47A29U_(U)
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
●The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or
B.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or B.
■ Hybrid System Indicator
■ Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions
*:
● During gasoline engine warm-up
● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
● When the heater is switched on
*: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop
automatically in situations other than those above.
■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-
tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the
vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will
slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once
every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 713
■ After the 12-volt battery has dischar ged or when the terminal has been
removed and installed during exchange, etc.
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your
Toyota dealer. Hybrid System Indicator represents the
hybrid system power output and regener-
ative charging. ( P. 119)

4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
●Do not use the system in the following situations, as the system may be
unable to correctly assist you in reaching the target parking spot and may
lead to an unexpected accident.
• In an area that is not a parking lot
• A parking lot that is not paved and has no parking space lines, such as
a sand or gravel parking lot
• A parking lot that has a slope or undulations in the road
• A frozen, snow-covered or slippery road
• The asphalt is melting due to hot weather
• There is an obstacle between the vehicle and the target parking spot
• Using tire chains or emergency tire
● Do not use tire other than that provided by the manufacturer. The system
may not operate properly. When replacing tires, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The system may not be able position the vehicle in the set location in the
following situations.
• The tires are extremely worn or the tire pressure is low
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy load
• The vehicle is tilted due to having luggage, etc. located on one side of
the vehicle
• There are road heaters installed in the parking lot to prevent the road
surface from freezing.
In any other situations when the set position and vehicle position greatly
differ, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the exit parallel
parking assist mode.
Exit parallel parking assist mode is a function used when departing from a
parallel parking spot. However, this function may not be usable if obsta-
cles or people are detected in front of the vehicle. Only use this function
when departing from a parallel parking spot. In the event that the steering
control operates, either turn the system off using the S-APGS switch or
operate the steering wheel to stop the control.
● If exit parallel parking assist mode is mistakenly used in the following situ-
ations, the vehicle may make contact with an obstacle.
The departure function is operated in a direction where an obstacle is
present, but the obstacle is not detected by the side sensors (situations
such as when the vehicle is directly beside a pole)

4-6. Driving tips
◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow-
ing down.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fu el economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When driving
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoi ding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption.
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
accelerator and gently apply the br akes. A greater amount of elec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline eng ine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehi cle are warm, it will consume fuel.
Fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.
