Original Prius 2010 commercial #1 (blue man crew)

[Rae Vynn]

"E" Mode... perhaps "Energy recovery" mode? It would work the same as B, without the confusion factor of "why B?"

Personally, I use B mode for long downhills in road conditions where hitting the brakes may be a bad idea, like on snow, ice, heavy rains. Yes, I may lose a little mpg overall, but I gain peace of mind.

• "N" - expected
• "E" - hummmmmm, level with "N"

I don't see "B" and don't miss it one bit.

What are you talking about Bob? This is the shifter on the new 2010, I can see the B and can see no E anywhere... maybe the arrows got you confused???

Thanks!

I was going by the driving display from the Blue Man commercial. I didn't see "B" on the instrument display.

Maybe I am pushing it too far, but isn't a HUD reflection in the windshield seen in this spy shot?

Interesting. I looks like something is there. It could well be from the background. It may be registration sticker. I hope it is a HUD projection although the color should be blue/green.
