2004 Prius Manual

Thank you!
I was trying to figure a way of getting my hands on a manual before getting my car.
It's great fun to read this, and it just makes me want my car right now!
Oh well. I'll be patient.

 

Could just be me, but parts 19 & 20 seem awfully similar...

 

I went through all the files and renamed them to include the section number, the page numbers, and the titles. Enjoy!

2004 Prius Manual -- single Acrobat file with bookmarks

Danny,

Let me know (I assume that as Admin you have access to my e-mail) when you when/if you get permission and I'll post the single file I patched together from all of the single downloads.

The User's Guide was the first thing I went looking for after driving home the new toy and I was annoyed to find that I had to ante up $10 for a one day pass to Toyota's Technical Info Service for the priveledge and even then it wasn't a single file. Frankly, I was expecting more from the Owner's area -- I was able to download the manual for my previous car for free and it was more professionally done (of course it helps to have English as a first language )

 

If Toyota approves posting the manual, those of us (All of us!) on the waiting list will undoubtedly be the most well-educated drivers on the road! :lol:

 

Is there any progress on this? I did try to get the files from Toyota USA's web site, but there didn't seem to be any way to enter a valid non-US billing address. Is there any way I can get these files from official channels in the UK?

 

Are these the files downloadable by subscription from Toyota? What is the site address?

 

Apparently, they're from Toyota USA's Technical Information System. But you'll have to stump up $10 for the privilege, and have a US billing address to do it from.

 

Argh! I've been looking all over for the user's guide(s). I ordered my Prius a few weeks ago--- Silver package #9--- and in the YEAR interim I figured I may as well obsess over it. I do hope Toyota approves of posting the manual... it seems absurd not to, really.

 

Check out the PRIUS2004NE group on yahoo.

 

They only have the owner's manual, not the service manual.

 

Also look at European Prius Forum for the US auto handbook and Navi handbook.

 

Has permission been granted?
I still have another 3-6 weeks(supposedly) until my Prius comes in and thought it might be a good idea to start reading the manual now.

Any help is appreciated. I'm trying to stay far away from that yahoo link, as yahoo sucks.


Thanks!

 

heliotropehead, have you looned at John's site?

http://john1701a.com/

good place to start... most of your questions about the Prius can be answered there if you are not finding them on this site...

That is really helpful - Thanks!

I'm picking mine up on Friday & was looking for some light reading.

So I presume permission to post links was never granted by Toyota?

 

Wow! I didn't realize the $10 fee for TIS was for one day only. $350 per year. Maybe I'll buy the service manual after all.

 

Well, you could time it and get 36 hour access. Your time expires at midnight, but they make sure you get at least a full day of access. So, if you sign up at 6AM Saturday, you get access until 11:59PM Sunday night.
