WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system 
● If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside, 
please contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer for the child restraint system installation. 
● If other second seats interfere with the child restraint system when install- 
ing a child restraint system in the second seat, adjust the seat cushions to 
the same position and align the seatbacks at the same angle. Otherwise, 
the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may
cause death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden 
swerving or an accident. 
● When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is 
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be 
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s 
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 
● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not 
twisted. 
● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward 
to ensure that it has been securely installed. 
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. 
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system 
manufacturer. 
■ To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors 
When using the ISOFIX rigid anchors, be sure that there are no foreign 
objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the 
child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely
attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other pas- 
sengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE) 
■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle 
There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to 
move with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking

The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is 
operating and are not a malfunction: 
● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment. 
● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) when the 
hybrid system starts or stops. 
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the 
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- 
hand front seat. 
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal 
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer regarding maintenance,  repair, recycling and disposal. Do 
not dispose of the vehicle yourself.

WARNING
■To prevent an accident 
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle. 
Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant throwing out 
of the vehicle, resulting in death or serious injury. 
● Ensure that all doors are properly closed. 
● Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving. 
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the door may be opened even 
if the inside lock buttons are in locked position. 
● Set the rear door child-protector locks when children are seated in the rear 
seats.  
■ When opening or closing a door 
Check the surroundings of the vehicle such as whether the vehicle is on an 
incline, whether there is enough space for a door to open and whether a 
strong wind is blowing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door 
handle tightly to prepare for any unpredictable movement.
