    Thanks for the confirmation. It sure didn't seem to be in any of the menus. I guess somebody in the documentation crew did a copy and paste from another model's manual and didn't catch the difference. Bummer - I suppose I can't be totally lazy about checking tire pressure.

    Are there any accessories that are a must have? I already want to add body side molding. What else should I consider?

    I use external TPMS on my tires. I bought it for my winter tires + rims without TPMS sensors inside, but even on my summer OEM tires, I keep them on, so I don't have to check the tire pressure with a gauge.

    As for the must-have accessory, you may soon want a spare tire. I have a full-size tire and rim that fits snug behind the front seat but there is a compact tire option too. A few other things I have found nice to have are charge port cover for winter, OBDII dongle for various Prius specific apps for analyses and diagnosis. Many people decide to remove the wheel cover, and needing center caps.
