    after letting the car sit unused for about 4 days I now find my power button LED is orange not green as always.
    the display showed the main battery down to two purple bars but after a short drive its returned to normal.
    the 12 volt battery is at 12.9 volts and everything else seems normal.

    is this something I should be worried about???

    I found this on another site

    1. There are 4 power states on the Prius:
    a. ACC - The power LEDwill be green. Obtained by pressing ONCE from OFF without holding the brake. Radio, NAV and power outlets will work, not much else.
    b. Ig-On - The power LEDwill be amber. Obtained by pressing TWICE from off without brake, or once from ACC mode. Acts as ordinary cars do when you have the car ON, but haven't started the engine. Most stuff works, but you can't drive.
    c. READY - The power LEDwill be off, though it does go amber briefly going into READY. READY will be show on the spedo display. Pressing power ONCE while brake is pressed in any state except READY.
    Car is fully operational.
    d. OFF. Self explanitory.
