    Hello,
    Just received my 2010 Gen 3 prius back from the Jiffy Lube where a yearly state (smog?) inspection was performed.
    I now have a warning light on that I don't ever recall seeing before. I looked in the manual but to no avail.
    can anyone help??
    I'll try that picture link again:

    They pressed your TRIP button on the steering wheel. It's basically an estimated distance to empty for the gas tank. Press the TRIP button to cycle through the (4?) different options to be displayed there.

    That is the miles to empty readout. Press your TRIP button repeatedly and it will change between that...ODO TRIPA and TRIPB.

    And you know what happens when you longer press the trip button ? Take some time and read the manual, it's all well described with pictograms.
