PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
■ Before driving 
● Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully 
closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an acci- 
dent. 
● Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment. 
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could 
have heat exhaustion or other injuries. 
● Do not allow a child to open or close the back door. 
Doing so may cause the back door to open unexpectedly, or cause the 
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door. 
■ Important points while driving 
● Keep the back door closed while driving. 
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects or luggage in the
luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident. 
● Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden 
braking, sudden swerving or a collision, they are susceptible to death or
serious injury.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position 
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen- 
gers are not injured by the moving seat. 
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid 
injury. 
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism. 
■ Seat adjustment 
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not 
recline the seat more than necessary. 
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the 
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of 
an accident. 
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect- 
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Manual seats: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in 
position. 
● When returning the seats to their upright positions, be careful not to catch 
the seat belts. 
■ Flattening the seats 
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
● Do not flatten the seats while driving. 
● In a flat place, apply the parking brake firmly and shift the shift position to 
P. 
● Do not flatten the seats if they are occupied. 
● Be careful not to get feet or hands caught in the moving parts or joints of 
the seats while flattening. 
● Do not allow children to flatten the seats. 
● Do not drive with passengers sitting on the flattened seatback or in the lug- 
gage compartment. 
● Do not drive with luggage or passengers on the flattened seats. 
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment. 
● After flattening, gently rock the seats to ensure they are firmly in place.

■ Reclining adjustment 
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not 
recline the seat more than necessary.  
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the 
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of 
an accident. 
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect- 
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

5167-2. Steps to take in an emergency
PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE) 
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be 
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle 
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels 
will be locked. ( P. 437) 
● When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the hybrid system and con- 
firm that the shift position can be changed to each position using the shift 
position indicator. 
■ Charging the 12-volt battery 
The electricity stored in the 12-volt  battery will discharge gradually even when 
the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of 
certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt 
battery may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to start. (The
12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is operating.)
WARNING
■ Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions 
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam- 
mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery: 
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that 
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal. 
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi- 
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, 
such as brackets or unpainted metal. 
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact 
with each other. 
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near 
the 12-volt battery. 
■ 12-volt battery precautions 
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, 
while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following 
precautions when handling the 12-volt battery: 
● When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and 
take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with 
skin, clothing or the vehicle body. 
● Do not lean over the 12-volt battery. 
● In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, 
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention. 
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received. 
● Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, termi- 
nals, and other battery-related parts. 
● Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
