If there's something bugging you (like.. why is the dome light on for such a short time or why is the auto-headlights slow to respond or why does the Auto A/C always switch to recirc automatically or is there another way of opening the rear hatch), then this is the PDF for you!

It's my car - why am I not allowed to change these settings?
Why do I have to go to a dealer?
Why isnt there an edit function on the MFD?
Why isnt every PRIUS supplied with an edit box?

THanks for letting us know it's available

You can buy one, it's just that they are a bit pricey.

I don't know. My dealer doesn't even know you can change stuff. <_<. Seriously, it would save a lot of time at the dealer if we had a small menu to personalise our car. Dealers hate doing it cause it's not getting them any money. They'd rather do maintenance and oil changes.


Oh and feel good that Toyota doesn't charge because Lexus does charge for you to change personalised settings after the first year of ownership.

Double checked. It opened when I clicked it too (Adobe v. 7 and FF v. 2.0 if that matters)

What I'd like to know (and can't find here) - is it possible to set the auto a/c button so it's not really auto anymore? On auto, the blower comes on way too high. I rarely want the blower above level 2 or 3. The need to use (and look at) the mfd screen seems a dangerous distraction (I know I should do it when stopped, but sometimes I need to turn it on and adjust the blower speed while driving). If they couldn't put a control on the steering wheel, a simple slide switch or knob would have been better in my book.

just press any fan speed button and it's out of auto mode (the "MODE" is still automatic until you touch a button on that too).

.
I want that hand held tester!

(o) These options can be adjusted FREE at our dealership?

(o) Any of these options have a manual easter egg?

(o) Does the auto lock delay function only work when the car is off and fob out of range?
