ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Introduction
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying your new car customers. Customer
feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS:




Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.
Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset).
Interior cleanliness.
Proper function of mechanical systems.
Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles has been a major focus for Toyota. To
help remind customers that regular oil changes are essential to the proper maintenance of their
vehicle, dealers are required to begin installing a first oil change reminder sticker prior to delivery.
By doing this, customers will be reminded to return to your dealership for their first oil change.
Your current oil change reminder sticker may be used. (See PDS Check Sheet item 9 of “Final
Inspection & Cleaning.”)
A PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2017 model year Prius Prime. Bulletins are
available for items in bold type.
Precaution
The Prius Prime has unique operating modes, so ALWAYS follow the precautions below when
performing the PDS operation:

The Prius Prime contains high-voltage (200 ~ 650 volts) AC and DC systems. ALL highvoltage wiring and connections are orange in color. Do NOT carelessly touch these orangecolored wiring harnesses and connectors.

The gasoline engine may start up and shut down suddenly whenever the “READY” light is
illuminated. Be sure to press the “P” position switch, apply the parking brake, press the
“POWER” switch in order to stop the hybrid system (the “READY” light is OFF), and
remove the ignition key before working in the engine compartment.

The hybrid transaxle, engine radiator, and inverter radiator may reach high temperatures
during inspection. Carefully observe ALL caution labels and instructions on
these components.

Be sure to place the shift selector into “P” (press the “P” switch) at ALL times unless
otherwise instructed. When the shift selector is in the “N” position, the hybrid vehicle battery
will NOT charge even if the gasoline engine is operating.

When leaving the vehicle, press the “P” position switch, apply the parking brake, and press
the “POWER” switch in order to stop the hybrid system (the “READY” light is OFF). Remove

battery. Do NOT block these air vents.

Do NOT splash water on the electric components in the engine compartment.
