intermittent icons on dash

ruggb · 04-17-2008, 11:19 PM

07 Prius - option 3 I believe w/o nav system.
IE, upgrade audio, bluetooth, backup camera, abs, stability

My wife say that intermittently a number of icons including:

Master Warning
Slip Indicator
Hybrid System
Recirculate Mode
Airbag SRS Warning

come on randomly at the same time while she is driving, stay on for a while then FADE out. They also come on white and not the color they show when starting the car.

I drove it tonight but did not notice all that, but I did see Recirculate come on once as I was backing up, then go off as I moved forward.

Has anyone run into this?

obviously the dealer isn't going to have a clue and since it is intermittent and I can't really explain it, it will never get found.

Maybe your wife should keep a digital camera in the car and take some photos when this happens. The idea that these warning icons appear in white instead of the normal color is especially creepy...

We just got an 08 Prius and I saw this once for about 1 sec then have not see it since. We got the car for about 1.5 month now. What this remind me of is like the regular car when you turn off the ignition or the normal car stall, then you see all of these light come on. Our went off quickly because I press the accelerator.
