    Hello,

    This maybe a dumb question or a memory lost on my part.

    I've a 2018 Prius Prime Advanced purchased a few months ago. Back in May, I was playing
    around with the climate control settings and I even documented some of the steps I did.
    I recalled when I was turning ON the heat and kept pressing the up arrow (on the left side)
    on the 11.6 multimedia display screen to increase the cabin temp. If I kept pressing it, eventually
    the word "MAX" appeared on the LCD. But now I can't seem to repeat this. I now only see the word
    "HI" when the cabin temp is at the maximum.

    I am almost positive I saw "MAX" on the screen when I did this in May. Could it be under
    a different sequence of actions i did that I can't remember now? If anyone out there has
    a 2018 Prime Advanced, could you me let know?

    Thanks

    No, the car was purchased in late April and hasn't been back for service.

    Like I said, I'm almost 99.9% sure I saw MAX on the screen when the cabin temp was at
    its maximum. I was just curious to see anyone noticed this in their cars and to confirm my
    observation. I didn't think about software updates. Can the updates happen over the cloud?

    I haven’t tested it in my car yet, but I usually associate MAX with A/C and HI with Heat. Could you have it reversed?

    I checked the AC temp settings. It says "LO" and "HI".

    Well maybe I really didn't see the word "MAX" then.

    The reason why I asked this question now is back in 5/23/19, I posted this reply:

    2018 Prius Prime - Remote Engine Start | Page 6 | PriusChat

    See Steps 1 thru 8 I posted there. This was the same the day I went to the shop to talk to the tech.
    No reason why I could have forgotten what I saw. You may need to start from Pg1 of this thread
    to get the details if you're interested in reading.

    Climate control for Toyota used LO and HI. Audio uses MAX.

    OK, I guess I'm convinced now that there's no "MAX' setting in both AC/Heat.

    Thanks for responding.

    If you were using the Remote Climate app, it says "max" there for both A/C and heat

    No, I wasn't using the app. but it's nice to know it isn't consistent.
