Featured 2019 Prius restyling

The language not that imprecise. It is people misusing terms and unnecessarily redefining them to appear to be talking appropriately when really they are talking "dirty".

 

Office desks/tables now use "modesty panels" that fold out of the way if you want an unobstructed view...

 

It's not progressive - I remember on slippery roads, using the handbrake gently in fly-off mode (ie with button held in) to gently brake the back wheels to slow on one wheel when it started spinning and getting out of tricky spots - doing that with a foot brake or an electronic park brake would be impossible (not that you can do that with FWD).

But releasing it progressively when reversing up a hill out of a tricky car park is certainly not something it's designed for - it locks on, and pushing it harder just releases it - and the car tries to lunge forward back to where it came from, relatively un-controllable in comparison to a hand-brake.

 

And they are sold in markets speaking other languages.

 

AFAIK only the North American cars have the controls (Is that better @RCO ?). All US cars are labeled in English. I do not know if the controls in Quebec are labeled en Francais.

LOL, in Victorian times they had to be there to as limbs and never legs. I'm talking about furniture legs here and it was considered for to have them visible to anybody!

 

Our non-knobs are just fine un-labelled.

 

Thanks
That makes post 144 a moot point if labels are English anyway.
The one possible exception would be Japan and they use many different parts anyway locking the language.

 

You have labels on the top of your head ?

 

Hope the Prius get LTA too like the corolla hatch and Rav4.

 

LTA?

 

This is Toyota. You think they make Lambda Theta Alpha?

I am talking about Lane Trace Assist.

Funny. You have time to Google stupid, but nothing related to Toyota?

Try Google phrase Toyota and LTA.

As in Lane Tracing Assist.... like autopilot lite.

 

Use the PriusChat Glossary! You read that as a newbie, right? (Me neither. I looked it up though.)

 

Never figured it was a TOYOTA-ONLY reference - I tried LTA car first. What an odd name.

 

Now there's a thought - rust protected I hope. Not that I've had much to do with Lancias, but a few FIATs and ALFAs I knew were horrors for rust.

I don't think I'll hold my breath with TOYOTA bringing it here - so far we're missing PRIME (or any Plug-In), Park Assist and knobs on the radio, nor the 5yr warranty UK gets. But at least our steering wheel is on the RIGHT side .

 

It is hard to argue with a literalist.
Yours may be right but having the steering wheel on the left is correct.

 

Guess we'll just all have to agree to differ on that point. With my driving simulator I mostly now LHD, but still manage to avoid obstacles while utilising RHD in the real world, correction - My world.
