Unfortunately there's no Prius For Dummies.

Hot damn, aaf! Quick! You write half, I'll write half. So what if what we write is nothing more than a compilation of everything others have already written (john 1701a, Graham, FAQs, Owner's Manual, etc.) Just marketing it with that title and a yellow cover will automatically net us enough to buy our next three Priuses!

We can even have it translated into Norwegian, so BOTH Norwegian Prius owners can buy it. :P

Honestly Ken, I don't care about the caps or not. And I don't think you are shouting. Then again, I can easily type 85+ wpm so for me using proper capitalization as much as possible is something I'm just used to. Imagine me in an IM session with a friend. My stuff looks like I'm writing a manuscript and their is full of those annoying abreviations, etc.

Anyway, the car is pretty easy to use. Best way to learn a new system, as I share with my friends and acquantiances, is to use it. Play around with the nav system, get to know how it works, have it do strange stuff, plot routes to place you don't intend to go to and see how it reroutes. Ask it dinner suggestions and see what it offers you. Just play with it and go from there.

Ahh, but reading The Prius That Shook The World is more than ample material for becoming one with the Prius. Read that book and you will be able to drive and operate any Gen I, II, III, IV prius and all of the features.

As I posted last time Ken was here, caps don't faze me.  Misspelling and chronic problems like "it's" for "its" bother me more.  But I know that's because I'm an ex-teacher, so I never complain about those.

Life's too short.

I don't like mis-applications of words. For example, I went to their house to see if they're OK over there.
One of the slides for a song we sing at church has the wrong 'there/their/they're'. Just bugs me.

As Charles pointed out, you'd be better of not using CAPS as it is annoying and considered shouting, whether you are intending it that way or not.

I don't find cap annoying, I dont consider it shouting. Incidently shouting is shouting. Anybody critisizing this very enthusiastic NEW Prius owner is acting extremely childish and putting an unnecessary damper on his enthusiasm.
