PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
●Hybrid system
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
●Anti-lock brake system
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail-
able on request at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the radio frequency transmitter
(RF-transmitter).

Plug-in hybrid system
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)■
When in EV mode
In EV mode, EV driving (driving using only the electric motor)
* is
possible. However, depending on the situation, EV driving may be
canceled and both gasoline engine and electric motor are used
(P. 98). Also, if a little electricity is remaining in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), HV mode is automatically selected. To drive in EV
mode long, observe the followings.
●Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden deceleration, and be sure
to drive smoothly.
If you repeatedly accelerate, the hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge will deplete quickly. Also, EV driving may be canceled by
rapid acceleration or vehicle speed.
●Restrain your speed as much as possible. The distance that can
be driven in EV mode will reduce considerably at high speeds.
*: The EV driving range can be checked using the multi-information dis-
play etc. (P. 210, 226, 233, 250)
■
When in EV City mode
In EV City mode, EV driving (driving using only the electric motor) is
possible.
*1
●Motor output is limited at the same level unless the accelerator
pedal is fully depressed.
When it is necessary to accelerate the vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal completely or cancel EV City mode as needed.
●In the following situations, EV City mode is automatically can-
celed.
*2
• When driving in EV driving is not possible. (P. 9 8 )
• When Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is
activated.
• When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
*1: The EV driving range can be checked using the multi-information dis-
play etc. (P. 210, 226, 233, 250)
*2: Depending on the circumstances, EV City mode may also be canceled
in situations other than those above.

When the driving assist systems are operating
When using driving assist systems such as the dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range (P. 397) and LDA system
(P. 382), information related to each system is automatically dis-
played on the multi-information display depending on the situation.
For details regarding the displayed information and the contents of the
display, refer to the explanation page of each system.
■
When there is information to be notified about the vehicle
When a shift position is mistakenly selected or a problem occurs in
a vehicle system, a warning message (or image) is displayed on
the multi-information display.
When a warning message is displayed, follow the instructions displayed
on the display. (P. 650)
■
When the power switch is turned off (vehicles with the intru-
sion sensor)
The intrusion sensor on/off
selection screen is displayed on
the multi-information display.
(P. 8 4 )
■When stopping the hybrid system
●When the hybrid system is stopped, the “Ending” screen is dis-
played on the multi-information display (for approximately 30
seconds
*1).
While the “Ending” screen is displayed, the following information
