INTRODUCTION
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying your dealership's 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 8 of "Final Inspection & Cleaning".)
A New PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2013 model year Prius PHV. Some check points have been added, expanded or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.
PRECAUTIONS
The Prius PHV has unique operating modes, always follow the precautions below when performing the PDS operation:
- The Prius PHV contains high-voltage (200 ~ 650 volts) AC and DC systems. All high-voltage wiring and connections are orange in color. Do NOT carelessly touch these orange-colored 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 from inside the vehicle before working in the engine compartment.
- The internal combustion engine, hybrid transaxle, inverter, engine radiator, and inverter radiator may reach high temperatures during inspection. Carefully read and follow all caution labels and instructions regarding 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 the ignition key.
- There are two cooling air vents for the traction battery. One vent is on the right side C pillar and the other is on the rear passenger seat left side seat base. Do NOT block these air vents.
- Do NOT splash water on the electric components in the engine compartment.
