Separate names with a comma.
It's not that cars require you to suck the oil out the top, but Mercedes, in particular, have the oil filters on top, so you can do the entire...
$0, you won't need to replace the traction battery
In the previous Prime at least, the car would force HV mode every now and then in order to run the gas engine. You have to run the gas engine...
Sounds like you're going to let the tail wag the dog.
The traction battery is never "empty" First of all, there's a buffer at the top and bottom of the battery capacity that is never used in order to...
So you previously had a Gen 3 Prius, probably never worried about the 12V, and never had an issue with it. But Gen 5 has added a lot of new tech...
I have no idea what a G5 has, but G4 has a simple reminder reset function in the Vehicle Settings menus accessed by steering wheel arrows. It's in...
Correct, no effect on MPG. My issue is not getting stuck, I will never go out in deep snow. I always wait for the county plows to make a pass. My...
You might want to check out the new winter tire tech called "3 Peak Snowflake" specification. You can search them on Tire Rack, or I use Discount...
I would not call it a valet key since all it does is unlock the door. It won't start the car without the fob. The point is you can lock/unlock the...
Yes, it really is not a transmission with gears, clutches and shifting. It's called a Power Split Device or PSD and you can look it up on YouTube....
I'm not sure changing a 12V battery is the proper place to learn to do maintenance, if you've never touched one before. You can mess things up...
That's the fuel vapor containment/capture system running a self-test. Has nothing to do with fob in the car. Totally normal.
Be glad there's no warning light. You'd get "engine overheating, shut down immediately" and possible engine warping/damage when the coolant runs...
If your seller "installed" a LoJack, make sure it is activated. Get the App and enter your serial # from the device and make sure it is working. I...
I assume you got the "low FOB battery" warning, not the "low 12V battery" warning. By the way, you are posting in the Prius Prime (PHEV) forum,...
You're overanalyzing it. The ICE makes a lot of racket when cold and when working hard. It also jerks the car if it starts when you are...
I disagree. Sometimes engineers can be too smart for their own britches. In other words, by trying to heat the cabin quicker, they introduced a...
Does Honda make a hatchback hybrid with fold down rear seats? This is what makes the Prius so practical, IMO. Otherwise, the Honda sounds pretty nice.
Yup, looks like you've exhausted the life of the battery. 213K miles is pretty good, I'd say. 2 to 3 charges a day since 2019 is a lot of cycles....
