New prius check list?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bea2006 @ May 26 2006, 10:01 AM) [snapback]261284[/snapback]</div>

I don't know of a list on this site. I got my Prius on April 19, and here are a few things I think it was important to know before I drove off:

1) How the Smart Key system works - how to take the 'actual key' out of the fob and put it back, and how to lock the car if you're carrying the Smart Key.

2) How to find the 'Km/Miles' switch if you're driving home in the dark - it's clearly visible during the day but impossible to see at night if you don't know it's at the far right of a group of buttons. I drove home from my dealer in the dark seeing my speed in Km/hour instead of Miles/hour, muttering the entire 10 miles home "a Km is about 5/8'ths of a mile, and 100 Km/hr is approximately 60 MPH".

3) How to set the rear view mirror to dim if there are bright headlights behind you, and how to turn off that option if your package has that option.

4) How to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that you've turned the power off in the car.

5) How to turn the lights on and off, windshield wipers, hazard light, etc. - all the nobs and levers and thingamabobs you can reach from the driver's seat, including adjusting the position of the seat and steering wheel.

I don't know if this is the kind of list you're look for or not - I hope this helps.

 

As it happens I found one last night backing various junk to JungleDisk (It is a front end to Amazon's S3 system)...

I just uploaded it to my waste webspace.

So this might be the check list your looking for.

I must have black Priuses on the brain... That's TWICE I read the title of this post as "New Prius CHICK list?" I must be feeling lonely.
