Toyota Prius Aircond Compressor Malaysia

Prius electric A/C compressor is driven by HV battery — it's extremely durable because it has no mechanical clutch or belt. Expected lifespan: 200,000+ km. Preventive tip: run A/C for at least 5 minutes per week to keep the refrigerant circulating through the compressor seals.

• No belt to replace — one less maintenance item vs conventional car
• Use HV-safe PAG oil (not standard PAG) if compressor is serviced — wrong oil damages motor windings
• Electric compressor replacement — rare failure; usually only after 200,000+ km
