    These icons are at the bottom of the bars in the Consumption bar chart in the 2005 model. Sometimes they're full icons; sometimes only a half show.

    What do they mean?

    you mean the green leaves?
    they mean how much energy you captured back. I might not be using the correct terms here. One full green leaf=50kwh

    it's like playing a video game, collect as many as possible green leaves without any impact on your mpg. When your mpg drops to 0, you loose, but since it is impossible with this machine, you are a winner already for gettting a PRIUS.

    Welcome to PriusChat TorontoSusan,

    Exactly what “icons†are you referring to with your “These icons†question?
    I see no icons in your post, but maggieddd is saying "green leavesâ€.

    My energy screen shows icons of cars when representing the amount of regeneration performed in past five minute increments.

    Question for the masses: Do some people have green leave icons, and others have car icons?

    wait wait, maybe they are little cars, but they are definitely green

    I think they are little green cars that resemble leaves. The little cars have vains that leaves have, damn got to run out and check

    And I guess I need to look a little more closely at what the MFD is displaying. IT IS A LEAF CAR! For a 47 year old with the best eyesight his optometrist has ever seen, I’m guessing that means I don’t have the ability to see everything with a quick glance.

    Maybe it’s not necessarily an eyesight malady. Just recently, I found the fast forward and rewind buttons for the CD player. B)
    Who would have ever thunk they’d be located on the MDF audio screen. :huh:
