Thermal Evaluation of Toyota Prius Battery Pack
The Toyota Prius is a five-passenger compact sedan powered by a 52 kW gasoline engine and a 33 kW electric motor. It has a curb weight of 1254 kg. The Prius has a complex dual-mode hybrid configuration in which energy to and from the vehicle wheels can travel along several different pathways. Mechanical energy to the wheels passes through a planetary gear set that couples to the engine, electric motor, generator, and to the final drive. Power to the wheels can be provided solely by a (273.6 Volt Nickel Metal Hydride [NiMH]) battery pack through the electric motor, directly from the gasoline engine, or from a combination of both the motor and the engine. The battery pack can be recharged directly by energy from the wheels powering the motor (regenerative braking) or from excess energy from the gasoline engine – which turns the generator.

Neo Car Audio Installation
This chapter provides information required for the installation of the Neo iON, it must be read by all users. Thank you for purchasing the Neo iON. Since the Neo iON works in many different vehicles the following steps must be taken to ensure the iON is set up correctly for the vehicle it is being installed in.
Before Installation
To prevent damage to your vehicle and the iON take the following precautions.
1. Turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the battery cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution to avoid causing a short circuit during installation. If your radio has a security code make sure you know the code and how to enter it prior to removing the battery cable. The radio will require this code to operate when the battery terminal is reconnected.
2. Do not install the unit in the following locations:
A. Locations exposed to direct sunlight
B. Locations where hot air flows from the cars heater
First Step (For All Vehicles)
The first and most important step in using the Neo iON is setting the dip-switches on the black box; this makes the iON compatible with the vehicle it is being installed in. The iON will not work if this step is not followed correctly. The dip switches can be found on the side of the black plastic box which connects to the iON. Switches are in the “ON” position when they are switched down. Black box settings for each vehicle can be found on the vehicles installation page.
