Which Screen To you use as the Default ? ? ?

macreative · 09-18-2004, 12:22 AM

I realize that some Prius owners do not have the Nav system; however, which screen do you leave on as the Default Screen during normal driving?

Energy screen on both Prius.

Energy Monitor, and second most used is to one where you can see what your energy consumption was in the last 30 mins.

Energy.

energy for the first 10k. now I just use consumption as I'm very familiar with the energy flows without looking and when I'm wrong it is inconsequential. I wish the screens were combined or at least toggled at the steering wheel like the newer ones are. Apparently Toyota made this change moments after mine was built. The energy screen is not exactly accurate as it does not always indicate when the engine is on. So on my wish list you can add engine on indicator and hybrid stage indicator.

Navigation screen almost always, with icons for ATM and gas stations (in case...)

Consumption, mainly - it stops me driving too fast!

Energy for low-speed driving, when I want to know how the battery feels.
