Is there a fob code to put the car into a battery saver mode ?

    Hi everyone. I'm about to take ownership of my first Prius next week (hopefully) and have been reading up on everything I can get my hands on.

    Somewhere along the line, I thought I saw that you can put the car (not the fob) into a power-saving mode by pressing Lock, Unlock, Lock on the key fob. But now I'm unable to verify that though searches on the forums.

    Am I wrong, or did I somehow see something for a prior year's model ?

    Thanks, and looking forward to joining the Prius community very soon.

    Yes. For the battery saving mode, press the unlock button twice while holding down on the lock button. The fob light will flash 4 times if you've done it correctly. Take it out of battery saving mode by pressing any button.
