ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying 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 9 of “Final
Inspection& Cleaning.”)
A NEW PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2017 model year Prius V. Some check
points have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.

Precautions

The Prius V has unique operating modes, so always follow the precautions below when
performing the PDS operation:


The Prius V 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.

Precautions (Continued)



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
the ignition key.



Air vents are provided on the package tray behind the rear seatback to cool the hybrid vehicle
battery. Do NOT block these air vents.



Do NOT splash water on the electric components in the engine compartment.

Warranty Policy

If the need for additional repairs or adjustment is noted during the PDS, the required service
should be performed under warranty. Reimbursement will be managed under the warranty policy.
The Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual requires that you maintain the completed
PDS check sheet in the customer’s file. If you cannot produce a completed form for each
retailed vehicle upon TMS and/or Region/Distributor audit, the PDS payment amount will be
subject to debit.
An additional Repair Order completed in conjunction with normal PDS must have time
punch/flags for service. If multiple repairs are performed, separate time flags must be punched for
each repair.
