hybrid battery (traction battery), behind the rear seats, when the hybrid sys- 
tem is started or stopped. 
● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open. 
● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine 
starts or stops, when driving at low speeds, or during idling. 
● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply. 
● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is 
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released. 
● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops. 
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent under the right-

PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
For safety and security
Immobilizer system
The indicator light flashes after 
the power switch has been turned 
off to indicate that the system is 
operating. 
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the power switch has been 
turned to ACCESSORY or ON 
mode to indicate that the system 
has been canceled.
■ System maintenance 
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type immobilizer system. 
■ Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction 
● If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object 
● If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key registered to the security 
system (key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent 
the hybrid system from starting if a key has not been previously 
registered in the vehicle’s on-board computer.  
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi- 
cle. 
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.
