861-2. Hybrid system
PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
There is an air intake vent under 
the right-hand front seat for the 
purpose of cooling the hybrid bat- 
tery (traction battery). If the vent 
becomes 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 the high voltage current and stops 
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If 
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. 
To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
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. ( P. 458)

For safety and security
■If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 
12-volt battery is disconnected 
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If 
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Running out of fuel 
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, 
refuel the vehicle with at least enough  gasoline to make the low fuel level 
warning light ( P. 449) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the 
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 
7 L [1.8 gal., 1.5 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value 
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.) 
■ Electromagnetic waves 
● High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromag- 
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec- 
tromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances. 
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced 
radio parts. 
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) 
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of 
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving 
style and driving conditions. 
■ Declaration of conformity 
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulation ECE100 
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
