    About right:
    - Push to turn it on.
    - Occasional unintended acceleration.
    - occasional difficulty slowing down.

    Though in this case, you don't want it to break.

    Aren't these three conditions/parameters a well known elements of
    the OEM firmware/hardware?

    The unit under consideration has a long history of self-initiated
    auto-start, running, "as if it has a mind of it's own." The unit does
    not come with an Owner's Manual. Neither does the independant
    recieving unit.

    Typically, for both units OJT is informal; mostly just individual,
    unsupervised hands-on familiarization.

    :rolleyes:

    Gives a whole new meaning to "Safety Bag System" don't it?

    Am I the only one who thinks the linear object inside the slit in the circular object suggests another bit of innuendo?

    I don't think it does, I know it does. It's a clever bit of advertising if you ask me.
    It implies to "turn on" as well as using a subtle Phalic image. All in a simple graphic with an efficient 2 color print scheme.

    Well, and how clever to have the design contest in the first place, it attracts attention to the issue of increasing condom use, put it in a cool wrapper, hell, it'll be a conversation starter in bars and clubs in no time.

    That's it. I'm calling Toyota tomorrow AM to complain that the condom dispenser in my Prius doesn't work.
