It says... "interior alarm sounds once". then "The transmission will automatically be set to N position" when you press and hold it. Quote:
The next question will be... Quote:

Friends: 3 | Re: Put into R while moving forward... I have 75 pages of text and 30 pages of articles to read for school since I got the car on Tuesday. I have read some of the manual in that time. Just not all of it. |

 It's an electronic shifter, so safeguards will be in place, naturally. Reminds me of a story from years ago (I work in the automotive industry) of some Japanese tourists on the Gold Coast in Australia who hired a car, and decided that while overtaking another vehicle, they put the car in P (apparently to "pass") while in motion. End result was car being towed-in with a munched up mess of metal in the gearbox from the destroyed park pawl.  Dunno if it was true or not, but good for a laugh anyhoo... This was back in the days of mechanically operated gearshifts. | |

Friends: 5 | Re: Put into R while moving forward... aww.. ken.. you beat me to it. I was going to make a point of mentioning the power button. I was the only person crazy enough to try it... come to think of it.. i think i tested all of these and shared them here on priuschat. if you have any other questions.. and hopefully they relate between Gen II and Gen III prii... i'll be dumb enough to try it and tell you results. |

I've done it a couple of times...make sure you aren't in traffic. If you shut down the hybrid system by holding the Power button for 3 seconds, the car will go to N, but the mode will be ACC. It is the only method (that I know of) to get N and ACC at the same time. | |
