Toyota Prius Owner´s Manual - Owner’s Manual & Service Guide 2010 - (P/N OM47668U)

• Covers the 2010 Toyota Prius U.S.A. model range addressed by publication OM47668U, with detailed coverage of hybrid-system operation, owner maintenance, vehicle specifications, customization, and emergency procedures for the 1.8L 2ZR-FXE platform
• Toyota Main Owner’s Manual, P/N OM47668U, June 2009 print cycle; the supplied PDF contains 607 file pages
• Applies to all equipment levels described by Toyota, so some sections are configuration-dependent: Smart Key with or without entry function, EV-Drive Mode, 15- and 17-inch wheel packages, LED or halogen lighting, Moonroof with Solar Panel, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, LKA, Pre-Collision System, and Remote Air Conditioning
• Scope is clearly owner-level rather than workshop-level: scheduled maintenance intervals are assigned to the separate Scheduled Maintenance Guide/Owner’s Manual Supplement, navigation-equipped cars refer to a separate Navigation System Owner’s Manual, and Toyota recommends its Repair Manuals for repair work beyond the procedures covered here

Powertrain and Interior Systems

The hybrid section goes well beyond basic driving instructions. It identifies the 1,798 cc 2ZR-FXE four-cylinder gasoline engine, the permanent-magnet traction motor, the nickel-metal hydride traction battery, the power control unit/DC-DC converter, orange high-voltage cables, service plug, and electric air-conditioning compressor. Factory specifications list the traction motor at 60 kW and 153 ft-lb (207 N·m), while the battery uses 28 modules at 7.2 V each, 6.5 Ah capacity, for 201.6 V overall. The vehicle’s high-voltage system can reach about 650 V maximum.

Operating coverage explains regenerative braking, engine stop/start behavior, EV-Drive Mode, Eco Driving Mode, Power Mode, the electronic transmission controls, and the brake actuator. The Energy Monitor and Hybrid System Indicator show gasoline-engine operation, traction-motor use, battery charging, regenerative energy, and the Charge, Hybrid Eco, Eco, and Power areas. The manual also documents the 5-minute/1-minute fuel-consumption displays and trip-based fuel-economy history.

Interior and convenience sections cover the automatic climate system, steering-wheel climate controls, Solar Ventilation System, Remote Air Conditioning System, non-navigation Bluetooth hands-free phone functions, audio controls, Smart Key operation, seat and steering-wheel adjustment, mirrors, power windows, and moonroof operation. Customization tables identify dealer-programmable settings for Smart Key behavior, wireless remote unlocking, automatic door locks, headlight sensitivity and shutoff delay, interior illumination, Remote A/C button behavior, reverse warning buzzer, and seat-belt reminder settings.

Technical Specifications and Safety Protocols

Useful service data is concentrated in the specification and do-it-yourself maintenance sections:

• Engine oil: ILSAC multigrade, SAE 0W-20; drain/refill capacity 4.4 qt (4.2 L) with filter or 4.1 qt (3.9 L) without
• Engine coolant: 7.6 qt (7.2 L) with exhaust heat recovery or 6.9 qt (6.5 L) without; power-control-unit circuit: 2.1 qt (2.0 L)
• Transmission: 3.5 qt (3.3 L) Toyota Genuine ATF WS
• Brake fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3; brake-pad wear limit 0.04 in. (1.0 mm)
• Fuel: 87 octane minimum and 11.9-gallon (45 L) tank
• Wheel nut torque: 76 ft-lb (103 N·m), with separate cold-pressure specifications for the 15- and 17-inch tire packages

Hybrid safety information is specific. The publication identifies the high-voltage component locations and warns against touching, disassembling, removing, or replacing high-voltage parts, cables, or connectors. High-voltage inspection or repair is not presented as an owner procedure.

Several damage-prevention notes are especially useful when evaluating repair or maintenance work. The transmission specification calls for ATF WS and warns that another fluid can damage the transmission. The traction-battery cooling intake beside the right rear seatback must remain clear and dry; blockage can overheat the battery, while water can cause short-circuit damage. The manual also warns that operating the engine with the air-cleaner filter removed can cause excessive engine wear.

Owner Maintenance, Initialization, and Emergency Coverage

Owner-level procedures cover engine-oil checks and maintenance-data reset, engine and power-control-unit coolant checks, brake-fluid inspection, 12-volt battery checks, tire and TPMS service, tire-pressure warning-system initialization, air-conditioning filter service, electronic-key battery replacement, fuse identification and replacement, replaceable exterior bulbs, and correct floor-jack locations. These are practical factory procedures often needed after routine service without turning the owner’s manual into a workshop repair manual.

Emergency sections cover towing, warning lights and multi-information-display messages, flat-tire handling, a hybrid system that will not start, lost or inoperative electronic keys, a discharged 12-volt battery, engine or power-control-unit overheating, and a stuck vehicle. The emissions section also explains OBD readiness behavior for state I/M testing.

Illustrated references include the High voltage components layout, Energy monitor, Hybrid System Indicator, Airbag system components, Fuse layout and amperage ratings, and the exterior/instrument-panel pictorial indexes. No workshop wiring diagrams, DTC diagnostic trees, or component overhaul procedures are part of this owner’s manual; those belong to repair information outside this publication.
