    I am trying to get my 2012 Prius v into maintenance mode. Am I supposed to see a Light that says maintenance mode?


    Am following the instructions in the nutzaboutbolts vid for
    2010-2015 Toyota Prius Engine coolant drain and refill

    thanks in advance
    Suze

    You will just get the flashing hybrid warning car symbol with the ! mark.

    It's warning you that the hybrid system is in maintenance mode.
