For safety and security
Safety information for children
●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
●Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the
power window accidentally. (P. 123, 153)
●Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-
cle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or

5468-2. Steps to take in an emergency
PRIUS v_OM_OM47B12U_(U)
After stopping the hybrid system and waiting for 5 minutes or
more, start the hybrid system and check for the instrument clus-
ter or multi-information display.
If the hybrid system overheat warning light does not turn off or
the message does not disappear:
Stop the hybrid system and contact your Toyota dealer.
If the hybrid system overheat warning light does not come on or
the message is not displayed:
The hybrid system temperature has dropped and the vehicle may
be driven normally.
However, if the warning light comes on again frequently or the message
appears again frequently, contact your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the
power switch and the “READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-
cally start, or the cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fan,
which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
