The Toyota Advantage.
Capped-price servicing.1
New Toyotas come with Toyota Service Advantage. For the first 3 years or 60,000km
(whichever comes first) you’ll pay the same low capped price for logbook servicing, so
you know what to expect when you take your vehicle in. And because your car will be
serviced by Toyota-trained technicians who use Toyota Genuine Parts, you know what
to expect when you drive it out too.
We’ve got your back.
Every new Toyota is built to exceptional standards, which is backed by a
3 year/100,000km2 warranty, giving you the peace of mind to feel confident for
years to come.
Your battery goes further.
The HV (Hybrid) Battery Warranty coverage on Prius vehicles has been extended from
5 years/100,000 kilometres to 8 years/160,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first)
commencing with the model Prius on sale from July 2009. This extended warranty
coverage will also apply retrospectively to all Prius vehicles sold by Toyota Australia
since introduction in late 2001. Owners should contact their Toyota Prius Dealer to
activate this retrospective warranty.
Finance to get you going.
Sometimes you need just a little help to get up and running. Toyota Finance3 can offer
you a wide range of vehicle financing. From personal loans to leasing for all kinds of
business, we can help.
Even more protection.
Everyone needs vehicle insurance, but take out our Comprehensive Motor Vehicle
insurance and you’ll get a policy packed with a great range of benefits.
These include:
- Where your Toyota becomes a total loss, is under 3 years old and has less than
100,000km on the clock, we’ll replace it with a brand new Toyota vehicle.
- We’ll also promise to use genuine new Toyota parts to repair your vehicle if it is
less than 5 years old.
- And we’ll guarantee the quality of workmanship on all authorised repairs as long
as you remain the owner of the vehicle.
Toyota Insurance also offers Finance Gap Insurance, Payment Protection Insurance and
Extended Warranty Insurance.4
Extend your peace of mind.
Extend your original factory warranty by up to 3 years with the Toyota Extra Care
Extended Factory Warranty. Available on most new and used Toyotas,5 it will give you
extra peace of mind – as will membership to our Roadside Assist service, offering
breakdown assistance 24/7. Rest assured should your vehicle be immobilised by a
roadside breakdown or accident, help is never more than a phone call away with
Toyota Extra Care Roadside Assist.

PART NUMBER: TYPRIUSC. VALID: X2905-2. PRINTED: MARCH 2012. GTP1379.
A family of high achievers.
Prius v overseas model shown.
It’s simply a better way to drive.
When Prius was born at the dawn of the 21st century,
it combined the power of a petrol engine and an electric
motor in the world’s first mass production hybrid car.
Going beyond delivering exceptional fuel efficiency,
it also shaped a motoring revolution – with advanced
design and powerful performance. Prius received
great acclaim, the world over.
Importantly, Prius anticipated and responded to the needs
of an increasingly environmentally-conscious society,
shaping a new direction for what is possible, and setting
all new benchmarks for the vehicles of the future.
Today, Prius has evolved into a truly remarkable, highachieving family of hybrids. Each offers unique styling,
superior comfort and optimal power and control.
The original Prius continues to impress, with its raft of
technical innovations and enduring style. The economical,
stylish and compact new Prius c hatch is hard to beat
when it comes to zipping about town. Joining the Prius
family in 2012 will be the new functional and versatile
seven seat Prius v wagon, offering a raft of technologically
advanced features as well as plenty of space for both
passengers and cargo.
In 2012 there will be a Prius to suit everybody,
which one’s for you?
Big city charisma.
Small car efficiency.
Life’s busy. To stay ahead, you need a car that acts like a part
of you – and which looks the part: a car that’s fun to drive, yet
delivers a whole range of important benefits. Like smooth,
user-friendly and comfortable driving, low fuel consumption,
superior environmental performance and world-class safety.
From the outside, one of the first things you’ll notice about
Prius c is its compact, sporty style – front fog lamps, a rear
spoiler, UV cut glass windows, and on Prius c i-Tech® models,
15" alloy wheels and efficient LED headlamps.
Prius c’s sportiness is anything but superficial. This is a car
that delivers impressive acceleration and performance,
with satisfying agile response when you need it most.
Prius c puts you in control – with the ability to rapidly
switch driving modes depending on your needs. Choose the
‘NORMAL’ mode for strong, on-demand performance,
the ‘ECO’ mode for outstanding fuel efficiency, or the ‘EV’
mode for low speeds, short distance driving that only utilises
the electric motor – a great option when you don’t want to
wake sleeping neighbours!
Everything about Prius c has been designed with efficiency
in mind – from ground-breaking technology that provides
ongoing feedback which helps you actively improve the
way you drive, to its Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology,
a smart combination of a responsive electric motor, and
a 1.5L Atkinson Cycle petrol engine.
Name
Prius c was also built on the understanding that
the road from A to B isn’t always predictable. As such,
it has a low centre of gravity for improved handling,
a sophisticated suspension system tuned for
challenging urban driving conditions, Hill-start Assist
technology, and an impressively tight turning circle,
making it ideal for navigating complex inner-city streets.
When you’re zipping about town, Prius c also helps
keep you safe, with a sophisticated passive safety
system – including seven SRS airbags and a front and
side collision structure – as well as active safety features
like Vehicle Stability Control, Anti-skid Braking System,
Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and more.
Plus, Prius c is also available in a whole range of fun
exterior colours, so you can truly make it your own.

Your inner-city oasis.
No matter what’s happening on the outside – traffic,
road works, or miserable weather – you can step inside
your Prius c and enjoy instant calm and comfort.
The clever touch tracer allows you to control the audio,
air conditioning temperature and multi-information
display without taking your hands off the steering
wheel. You can even personalise the start-up screen
on your audio display for a friendly welcome every time
you turn on the ignition and, on Prius c i-Tech® models,
play DivX®1 files from a USB2 when you’re parked.
Thanks to contoured front seats and a compact engine
compartment, there’s also plenty of room for you to fit
up to four friends – and 60/40 split fold rear seats mean
you can quickly create more space for extra gear
or luggage – ideal for weekends away.
For a small car, Prius c’s audio system is big on fun,
sophisticated features. Plug in your USB2 device,
iPod®3 or MP3 player, and enjoy Bluetooth™4
connectivity for audio streaming and hands-free
mobile calls. Thanks to voice control, you can also
easily change tracks or call someone hands-free on
the mobile. Your word is Prius c’s command.
Prius c i-Tech® also comes with a T.E.C.H.™ unit with
Satellite Navigation5 and 3D graphics, which helps
you find your way through busy streets. Plus, a traffic
avoidance system (SUNA™ Traffic Channel6) which
gives you up-to-the-minute information about road
conditions and helps the Satellite Navigation5 work out
the best route to avoid congestion. So finding your
way around and avoiding hold ups is easier than ever.
And the insights don’t stop there. A 3.5" Multi-Information
Display on Prius c provides a whole range of valuable
data to help you drive more efficiently, including your
eco-score, five-minute fuel consumption and overall
eco-saving. So you can actively evaluate and change
the way you drive for even greater efficiency.
All proof that good things do come in very smart
little packages.

Emissions
By ensuring high-level fuel efficiency,
Hybrid Synergy Drive® helps minimise
output of CO2 and other harmful
emissions. All of Toyota’s hybrid
vehicles are designed to comply
with relevant global exhaust
emissions regulations.
Quietness
4 Key Benefits
The peaceful performance of our
electric ‘EV’ mode combined with the
high-performance soundproofing
materials throughout the engine and
passenger compartments delivers a
uniquely tranquil driving experience.
Fuel Economy
The aerodynamic styling of Toyota’s
hybrid vehicles, and clever pairing of an
electric motor and robust petrol engine
delivers significant fuel savings. Each
vehicle also provides ongoing feedback
via its Multi-Information Display, to
help owners drive more efficiently.
Power
Hybrid Synergy Drive® combines the
power of two energy sources to deliver
powerful, smooth acceleration.
Your vehicle can be powered by
electricity, petrol, or a combination
of both – and it’s discreet and seamless.
How the Prius c hybrid system works.
Starting Off
Full Acceleration
Deceleration
At Rest
The electric motor is used primarily
and power stored in the battery is
used to turn the motor.
Power is also provided by
the petrol engine in addition
to the electric motor. Power
output is maximised for a
very powerful acceleration.
The electric motor functions as a
generator during deceleration and
braking. Regenerated energy is
used to recharge the battery.
Braking to a stop at a traffic light,
the petrol engine is first cut off
and the electric motor brings the
car gently to a stop. The system
automatically avoids wasteful
idling to conserve fuel and stop
CO2 emission.
Your Prius c, your way.

Toyota Genuine Accessories – all of
which are developed to strict quality
