default MFD screen

gjertsen · 01-16-2006, 06:54 PM

Very new to my '06 Prius... and loving it!

Is there any way to have the car start up on the "Energy" screen (rather than the "Consumption" screen)? I know I can toggle between them quite easily, but I would rather it start on Energy. I thought when I test drove an 05 that it came up on Energy, but I could be wrong.

Just leave it on the "Energy" screen when you turn it off. Then when you start, it's on it.

At least that's how mine works.

Mine always defaults to the Consumption screen also. I would like to know too how to get it to the Energy screen. Mine will change back to Consumption after each start.

Hmmm. I don't have an '06, but I do seem to recall a Display option for automatically returning to the Energy screen (after say choosing Climate or similar). I do not believe I had a choice there but I could be wrong.

There is definitely an option to automatically "timeout" back to Energy or Consumption (whichever you were previously on) or not to timeout. Mine was factory set to timeout, and that's fine.

I just want to know how to get the car to start up in Energy rather than Consumption.
