WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle 
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do 
so may result in death or serious injury. 
● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an 
unpainted metal surface to discharge any stat ic electricity. It is important to 
discharge static electricity before re fueling because sparks resulting from 
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling. 
● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. 
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot 
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury. 
● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their 
body to come close to an open fuel tank. 
● Do not inhale vaporized fuel. 
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled. 
● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle. 
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire. 
● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically 
charged. 
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard. 
■ When refueling 
Observe the following precautions to pr event fuel overflowing from the fuel 
tank: 
● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. 
● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. 
● Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling 
Do not spill fuel during refueling.  
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the 
vehicle’s painted surface. 

2584-4. Refueling
PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)

WARNING
■ When replacing the fuel tank cap 
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your 
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in 
death or serious injury. 

3385-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when   is pressed.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to
prioritize fuel efficiency
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
• Customize the air conditioning control of Eco drive mode. (P. 543)
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring: 
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
