    Just to clarify, the donut spare on my 2012 PIP is a 16 inch, even though the 4 tires on it now are 15 inch tires. Weird.

    I have a 2012 PIP with the advanced tech. package. My HUD was on, now it's off. How do I turn it back on. I have the HUD button pushed on and lit green, adjusted the tilt and brightness but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Perhaps it is set too low or too high. Try to adjust the position and see if it comes into the sight.
    Check there is no obstacle in the HUD pit.

    Go to Toyota's owner web site and look up HUD operation, for the advanced model. I have the basic so I don't know anything about the hud sorry!

    All I could find in the manuals was under instrument clusters and pages 28 thru 35. This was at Toyota,s site under owners.
    I assume this is what you already know.

    Good luck! :)

    i still think if you post in a forum that has this equipment option, you'll have a better chance of finding someone with direct knowledge.

    I could not find a T135/80D16, but I found a bought a T125/70D16. The salvage guy said it requires a 16 inch but did not say anything else on hi computer. He thinks it fits. I haven't tried to put it on. Does anyone know if it fits?

    I have recently joined Prius Chat, but I have found this site a couple of times last month. I have test driven the 2015 Toyota Prius Liftback 2 this week. Anyways, I like your FAQ and it might be of some use for my mother since the new Prius is too hard to drive.

    this faq is for the plug in model, not the lift back.
