WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, poss ibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may r esult or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an acc ident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Q When installing the driver’s floor mat
O Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
O Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
O Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
O Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
O Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
Q Before driving
OCheck that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
O With the hybrid system stopped and the
shift position in P, fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does
not interfere with the floor mat.

WARNING
QSRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
O The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the se at belts.
O The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 7 5 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measu red from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach ing the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle design s vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even wit h the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back o f the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to s ee the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This p oints the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still m aintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view o f the instru-
ment panel controls.
O The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passe nger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passen ger sits
upright.
O Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child res traint sys-
tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children b e placed in
the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are
safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 54)

QIf the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
O Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed depl oyment (inflation) by hot gases.
O A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
O Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, a nd roof side rails,
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be h ot.
O The windshield may crack.
O The hybrid system will be stopped and fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. ( P. 99)
O The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. (P. 646)
Q SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
O The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an app roximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold veloci ty will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
O Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
Q SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
O The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mp h]).
O Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.

791-3. Theft deterrent system

Prius Plug-in Hybrid_OM_OM47E75E_(EE)
For safety and security
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
QSetting the intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm i s set.
( P. 7 6 )
QCanceling the intrusion sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehic le,
make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the al arm,
as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the power switch off.
A message is displayed on the multi-information display for app roxi-
mately 4 seconds asking if you wish to cancel the intrusion sen sor.
Press or of the
meter control switch on the
steering wheel, select “Yes”
and then press .
If an operation is not performed
for approximately 5 seconds,
the message will be automati-
cally extinguished and the intru-
sion sensor will not be canceled.
The intrusion sensor will revert to on each time the power swit ch is
turned to ON mode.

Plug-in hybrid vehicle driving tips
XUsing EV mode and HV mode effectively
Primarily using EV mode when driving in cities and using HV mode
when driving on highways (or freeways) can help conserve fuel and
electricity. (P. 88)
XUsing EV City mode
When using EV City mode, the motor output is limited and the oper-
ation of the gasoline engine can be minimized. Therefore, the vehi-
cle can be driven with only electric motor (traction motor) in city
areas, etc. (P. 88)
XUsing 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
fuel and electricity economy. (P. 418)
XUse of Hybrid System Indicator
Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System Indi-
cator within Eco area. (P. 226)
XShift 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.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

1802-2. Charging
Prius Plug-in Hybrid_OM_OM47E75E_(EE)
QSolar charging system
OIn the following cases, charging the hybrid battery (traction battery) via the
solar charging system is not performed. Solar power generation stops when
the solar battery becomes fully charged.
• Charging via an external power source
• The power switch is not off
• The “Traction Battery Heater” is operating (P. 144)
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
• When the amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is approximately 90% or more of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power source
OIn the following cases, the solar charging system stops solar power genera-
tion and power supply to the hybrid battery (traction battery) and auxiliary
systems.
• The temperature preservation function of the solar charging system oper-
ates
• There is a malfunction in the solar charging system
• When the 12-volt battery terminals are disconnected
OThe amount of power generated by the solar roof differs according to the
season, climate, weather conditions, vehicle angle and surrounding condi-
tions.
OIf even part of the solar roof is in the shade, there may be an extreme drop
in power generation.
OPlease adhere to the following in order to allow full performance of the solar
roof.
• Clean the roof on a routine basis (Especially fallen leaves and bird drop-
pings can lead to a substantial decrease in power generation)
• Remove snow from the roof as soon as possible
• Do not attach any seals or stickers to the roof
It is recommended not to install a roof carrier etc. unless it is necessary
OWhen the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging the bat-
tery via the solar charging system is not performed. When it is not neces-
sary to perform charging from an external power source, charge the vehicle
as much as possible using the solar charging system during the day and
use the external power source only at night. As a result, the solar charging
system can be used effectively.
OWhen the vehicle is left in the hot weather, the temperature preservation
function of the solar charging system becomes easy to operate due to high
temperature of the vehicle interior. The solar charging system can be used
effectively by using a sunshade or parking the vehicle facing north, etc.
