Fair question. It's just an acronym for internal combustion engine.

Well it's there and then it's not ICE is the abbreviation for Internal Combustion Engine as opposed to MG1 and MG2 Motor Generator. Efusco where did the acronym and abbreviations list that we had in the knowledge base go? I could not find it to give a link to the entire list of our secret language.
Edit see next post answered my own question.

Found the glossary and copied it and reposted it in the Knowledge Base discussion forum. Check out this link http://priuschat.com/Acronyms-and-Abbrevia...ary-t12661.html

I am a rookie. And I see a lot of abbreviations that I have no idea what they stand for. Experienced posters need to remember that. Educate us ,Please.

The thread http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=1...=0&#entry157301 has several abbreviations, plus a link to an FAQ. Hope this helps, there's a lot of them.

I come from the Car Show scene and ICE means In Car Entertainment :P


Took me a few to figure it out...

Lola - here's another important acronym you need to know about:

M/AMRC = Matter/Anti Matter Reaction Chamber. This is where the hybrid's antimatter fuel is combined with deuterium to generate the warp plasma. This is also where the dilithium crystals are located. The M/AMRC is located in a hole on the engine, just above where you insert the block heater. The location is a pain to reach, but several adventurous PriusChat posters have boldly gone where no man has gone before.

Next time you are at the dealer, be extra sure to request that they realign your antimatter injectors. They will act like they don't know what you are talking about, but just keep insisting. You will get an extra .5c out of the HSD.

Yeah, some do use ICE as In-Car Entertainment but the most predominant use is Internal Combustion Engine.

We need to get our glossary back up and running
