2006 Prius Dash Switch Blanks

roocow · 04-02-2006, 11:44 PM

Any ideas as to what the 2 blanks in the dash next to the dimmer switch are for?

V8Cobrakid · 04-03-2006, 12:04 AM

probably parking assist and Ev mode. if park assist doesn't have a main button.. then i remember seeing something else that did. I think i saw it on the lexux though *scratches head*

Here you go. I got this from a euro site. My dash will hopefully look similar shortly.

On this euro model it has headlight adjust? EV, and Park Assist.

I think its to adjust the headlights aim up or down. I would use it to blind people with badly adjusted headlights that were blinding me like on redneck pickup trucks with aftermarket HIDs.

dang, why can't we have those buttons...the headlight up and down would be awesome.

I want to fill in my blanks with the EV button and IPA button. I'm going to use the IPA button for the anytime camera mod.

I'm trying to make every mod I do appear to look stock.

I just want to fill in the 2 blanks..I have a base prius ..any ideas???

Hi,

In Europe we have a whole other light system then in the US. We shine only in front of us, you shine also a bit to the sides. As why they are adjustable I really do not know, but my guess is that when it is foggy you want to shine less to the front and more to the car....
