The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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 occu-
pants.

For safety and security
Alarm
The alarm uses light and sound to give an alert when an intrusion is
detected.
The alarm is triggered in the following situations when the alarm is
set:
● A locked door or back door is unlocked or opened in any way other
than using the entry function or wireless remote control. (The doors
will lock again automatically.)
● The hood is opened.
● If equipped, the intrusion sensor detects something moving inside
the vehicle. (An intruder gets in the vehicle.)
Close the doors and hood, and
lock all the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote con-
trol. The system will be set auto-
matically after 30 seconds.
The indicator light changes from
being on to flashing when the sys-
tem is set.
Do one of the following to deactivate or stop the alarm.
● Unlock the doors using the entry function or wireless remote con-
trol.
● Start the hybrid system. (The alarm will be deactivated or stopped
after a few seconds.)

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm is set.
( P. 8 1 )
■Canceling the intrusion sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle,
make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the alarm,
as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the power switch off.
A message is displayed on the multi-information display for approxi-
mately 4 seconds asking if you wish to cancel the intrusion sensor.
Press or of the
meter control switch on the
steering wheel, select “Yes”
and then press .
If an operation is not performed
for approximately 5 seconds,
the message will be automati-
cally extinguished and the intru-
sion sensor will not be canceled.
The intrusion sensor will revert to on each time the power switch is
turned to ON mode.

■When the message asking if you wish to cancel the intrusion sensor is
not displayed
The message may not be displayed if other message is displayed. In this
case, turn the power switch to ON mode, follow the instructions on the display
and turn the power switch off again.
■ Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor
● The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor is canceled.
● After the intrusion sensor is canceled, pressing the power switch or unlock-
ing the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-
enable the intrusion sensor.
● The intrusion sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the alarm sys-
tem is deactivated.
■ Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alar m in the following situations:
• The movement of people outside the vehicle
● People or pets are in the vehicle.
● A side window is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the
following:
• Wind or the movement of objects
such as leaves and insects inside the
vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from
devices such as the intrusion sensors
of other vehicles
IO13PH005
● Unstable items, such as dangling acces-
sories or clothes hanging on the coat
hooks, are in the vehicle.

● The vehicle is inside an automatic or high-pressure car wash.
● The vehicle experiences impacts, such as hail, lightning strikes, and other
kinds of repeated impacts or vibrations.
● The vehicle is parked in a place where
extreme vibrations or noises occur, such
as in a parking garage.
● Ice or snow is removed from the vehicle,
causing the vehicle to receive repeated
impacts or vibrations.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the intrusion sensor functions correctly
● Installing accessories other than genuine Toyota parts or leaving objects
between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the
detection performance.
IO13PH008

● To ensure that the sensors operate
properly, do not touch or cover them.
● Do not spray air fresheners or other
products directly into the sensor holes.

1022-1. Plug-in hybrid system
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)
There are air intake vents on both
sides of the rear seatback for the
purpose of cooling the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery). If the vents
become blocked, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) may over-
heat, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery (traction battery)
output.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and
stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leak-
age. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the
instructions.
