lected.

For environment friendly and economical driving

(1) Avoid abrupt acceleration or deceleration. This will ensure that sufficient

power supply remains in the hybrid vehicle battery and will enable you to

drive efficiently.

(2) Check the tire inflation pressure frequently to keep it at the proper level.

Note:

Trip information (Consumption, energy monitor) can be shown in the multi-informa-

tion display. Use this information for driving with good fuel economy. To see the

information, press “INFO” (located outside the display) and touch “Trip Info.”

(located inside the display).

On the side of the rear right seatback,

there is an air vent provided to cool the

hybrid vehicle battery. Do not put luggage

or block the vent. If the vent is covered,

the hybrid vehicle battery will overheat,

and this may cause lower vehicle output

and reduced performance.

(1) Stop your Prius completely by de-

pressing the brake pedal and then ap-

ply the parking brake.

(2) Press the “P” position switch. The in-

dicator on the switch comes on and

transaxle is locked to “P”.

Note:

Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle into “P”

when parking.

continue driving in that position. The battery

cannot be charged in “N”.

When releasing the accelerator pedal in “B”,

engine braking will be applied stronger than

in “D”. Compared with ordinary vehicles,

you may feel less powerful engine braking

during high speed driving.
