It shouldn't, but your odometer and speedometer will be off and I don't know how expensive it would be to bribe a dealer to reprogram the car to correct it.
As I understand it, a Prius is not a normal CVT. Rather, the speed of the output shaft is a ratio between the large electric motor (orbital gears) and the engine (sun gear). The electric motor can spin up, to a point, to slow the gas engine down, and vice versa.
