Disabling the Reverse Beep

[valid8r]

Ok, I'm dense. What's the difference between IG-ON or READY? (see below?)



1. Power on the car to IG-ON or READY. IG-ON will do for this purpose.
2. Using the Trip/ODO button, set the Trip/ODO display to ODO (not Trip A or Trip B )
3. Power off the car.
4. Now power the car to READY (brake on).

Thanks,
Jon

If you know that the ODO display was in ODO since your last drive, you can pretty much go straight to step 4 in your quote. The instruction was written that way to confirm that you are in fact in ODO, since it won't work if the ODO is displaying Trip A or Trip B.

READY happens if you press the "POWER" button while pressing the brake. When in READY mode you can shift to "D" and you can drive the car.

IG-ON happens when you press the "POWER" button twice while NOT pressing the brake. When in IG-ON mode all the 12V accessories work, but you can't shift to "D" and drive the car.

I'm not sure if the HV battery is still isolated in IG-ON like it is in ACC or not. I've seen it described both ways here at PriusChat.

Ready is similar to starting the car (and engine) in your typical auto.
Ignition on is similar to the ACC position. (power on without the engine on)

When I first tried this, I kept looking at the main display for the a-b toggle and odo options... then I noticed that all of this was displayed on the dash up by the speedometer. So, keep your eye there for success!

Also, a mistake I made was not going to park (P) after reverse (R).

This worked perfectly! No more beeping...
