Friends: 0 | Here are two more items: Brakes: traveling at creep speed I've twice experienced touching the brake LOCKS the brake. Nothing modulated about the response of the car. It's as if you'd pushed the park button. Also brakes associated: Red light ahead, off on the gas and very light brake, and the display properly shows energy flowing into the battery. Then after stopping, or at creep speed, energy flows battery to motor. Light brake pedal brings the car to a full stop but display shows energy continuing to flow to the motor. FIRM brake pedal turns that energy flow off--but there's nothing finessed about that firm brake. I think that setting is at way too crude a level for this sophisticated machine. |

If Speedo reads high, does Odometer read high, also? If Odometer reads high, would MPG read high? Or, not? Last edited by OZ132; 08-18-2009 at 01:40 PM. Reason: Because I goofed... | |

Friends: 0 | Tumbleweed, Both my 2008 Sienna and the 2010 Prius show up 2 mph slow on these radar devices. It is very consistent. I did a quick check. Look for the mile markers on the side of the highway. Set the cruise to 60 mph. Pick a mile marker and time how many seconds it takes to reach the next marker. At 60 mph it should tame 60 seconds to go 1 mile. I found both vehicles are very close to 60 seconds. I believe the radar units have some kind of offset for the display that reads 2 mph lower than the measured speed. Bob Last edited by 1 mad scientist; 08-18-2009 at 06:36 PM. |

thanks for the info. If you can find (or start) a thread that describes the problem, and that shows that other people have experienced it too, etc. (see the rules in post #2), post the information on this thread then I will add it to the list. | |

Almost all speedometers will read fast on almost all cars. Manufacturers can legally make the numbers appear higher (IE the car is going faster then the speedo says) but if they do the opposite then they are breaking laws and even UN regulations. Most cars are 2-5mph high depending on speed. Also if your speedo read low you could (try to) sue your car company for getting a ticket, while the opposite is legally allowed (you cannot sue your car company for wasting your time!). So this is not a Prius problem. | |
