Operating the switch ring again
turns only the rear fog light off.
■ Fog lights can be used when
Front fog lights: The front position lights are turned on.

The fog lights secure excellent visibility in difficult driving con-
ditions, such as in rain and fog.

PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in AUTO mode. Take care that your fin-
gers etc. do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the hybrid system
is off.

■Operational conditions
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
●Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 180 km/h (7 and
110 mph). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-
mately 10 and 80 km/h [7 and 50 mph].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead is approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 30 and 180 km/h (20 and
110 mph). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-
mately 30 and 80 km/h [20 and 50 mph].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead is approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 180 km/h (7 and
110 mph). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-
mately 10 and 80 km/h [7 and 50 mph].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead is approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and
then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift position is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)
■Pedestrian detection function
■Cancelation of the pre-crash braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-crash braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly. The pre-crash safety system detects
pedestrians based on the size, profile,
and motion of a detected object. However,
a pedestrian may not be detected
depending on the surrounding brightness
and the motion, posture, and angle of the
detected object, preventing the system
from operating properly. (P. 282)

3244-6. Driving tips

Hybrid vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. (P. 317)
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. (P. 124)
◆Shift position operation
Shift the shift position to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position to P when parking. When
using the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In the
N, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gener-
ated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid
battery (traction battery) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
●Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine power.
●Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

Interior features
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning syst em on longer than necessary when the
hybrid system is off.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.

heater.
• Do not use seat heater more than necessary.
NOTICE
● Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do
not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
● To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, do not use the functions when the
hybrid system is off.
