Separate names with a comma.
There's a bit of truth in that, but not enough to risk running out of gas, IMHO. It's a difference in mindset. As a pilot who once owned a small...
I suspect he's talking about the LCD screen.
I'm old fashioned, I guess - I like to let my lady passenger in first before going 'round to the driver's door. Fortunately the remote unlock...
I wonder if the car derates the battery's indicated capacity when it gets quite hot? It would be interesting to park the car with a hot battery...
...and note that the EV miles would include both miles driven in "EV Mode" (where you push the "EV Mode" button to request the car to run without...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You could take the entire engine apart and clean it as a preventative measure, but if it's not displaying any...
Not me - it runs just fine on regular (87 octane) fuel and I see no reason to pay extra. But when I go to those crazy states where they sell 85...
Did you check the battery gauge the instant you started the car? When the car starts from cold it uses battery power exclusively (unless you...
I'm in the habit of pressing the "lock" button on the driver's door armrest as I'm exiting the vehicle to lock the car so as to eliminate any...
I generally try to park with at least 5 bars lit in the battery. That's so that I can back out of the garage and close the garage door in EV mode...
The engineering on the Prius seems to be very solid - I don't think there's any danger of the car harming the battery. And in fact I think...
In normal driving conditions the car won't let the battery drop below 2 bars - when it gets that low it runs the engine to charge it back up...
If you read the rest of my post you'll see that the reason the battery drains is precisely because the car isn't putting any load on the gas...
You don't need a fancy multimeter to test battery voltage, pretty much anything will do. But of course note all the caveats on how to measure...
Yeah, why exactly is this so difficult? The fewer bars you have the more attention you pay to it. Don't let it get down to only 1 bar left, and...
I wasn't questioning your statement, I was rebutting Sam Spade's. I included your quote to give context to what Sam was claiming that the Prius...
Oh yes, it will. You can't use the EV mode button to force the car into using the battery at higher speeds, but if the battery has a good charge...
It's my observation that when you start the car cold the engine comes on but isn't used to actually propel the vehicle for the first short while...
Considering this poster sells products that purport to prolong battery life, I would treat this pronouncement with a grain of salt. Toyota has...
Define "quickly". Is the car new to you, or do you have a reasonable track record with the car and you're noticing a difference in its...
