I'm beginning to wonder if the lines are purely aesthetic, have some sort of aerodynamic function, or part of a next generation smart key? Maybe we press the lines to lock the door instead of a silly black button? | |

Friends: 2 | Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius #11 This is where you put the finger to lock the door. It replaces the black rubber button of the SKS system. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius #11 Not even close in your guesses.... it is quite simply a voice activated door handle. You whisper your secret PIN code into the 2 lines on the handle (concealing a microphone) and hey presto, without a key in sight, the door unlocks automatically. To close it and lock it, simply recite your PIN code in reverse. Absolutely amazing ! What will the think of next, battery powered cars ?  Of course to lock it, while inside the car, you will have to wind the window down, otherwise the door handle can't hear you... |
