Symptoms Prius v owners report
- Reduced power merging onto a freeway, worst in summer.
- The engine running at stops where it used to shut off.
- Fuel economy dropping over a few months.
- The battery gauge on the energy screen swinging quickly.
- The cooling fan near the rear seat running loudly and often.
Keep the cooling intake clear
Something you can do today, for nothing
The hybrid battery is cooled by cabin air drawn through a vent near the rear seat. Keep cargo from being loaded against it — restricted airflow means a hotter pack, and heat is what ages these batteries.
