If your Prius is beeping when off, it's often signaling an unlatched door, trunk, or hood or reminding you that the key fob is still inside the vehicle. First, check to make sure all doors, the trunk, and the hood are securely closed. If the beeping persists, ensure the key fob is with you and not left inside. In less common cases, this could indicate an electrical issue or a malfunctioning sensor, requiring diagnostic attention from a professional.
