831-3. Hybrid system
PRIUS_OM_OM47B89U_(U)
1
For safety and security
There is an air intake vent under
the right side of the rear seat for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the
vent becomes blocked, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) may
overheat, 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  the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of  electrocution and fuel leakage. If
the emergency shut off sy stem activates, your vehicle will not restart.
To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically displa yed 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.
