    I replaced my 2008 Prius with a 2021 Prius Prime and am very satisfied with the performance and features.

    The Alarm for the various safety features is hard to hear while driving.

    Is there any way to increase the volume of the alarms?

    I searched the manuals but could find no information.

    I forgot where I put my list of Carista modifiable settings. I don't think alarm volume was one but I could be wrong. One thing that you CAN increase in volume is the Turn Signal "clicker". Amazing. Being hearing "challenged" and wear hearing aids it made a big difference for me. Personally I don't get many alarms except for an occasional lane deviation on winding roads and certain left turn island markings where the system is tricked into thinking I'm leaving the lane when I'm not. The one real alarm I got was when the car in front of me slammed on the brakes and even though I was braking aggressively I did get the big red "BRAKE" warning in the MID with the audible alarm which I could hear just fine but that was at low speed. The Carista list is posted somewhere on this board. I let my Carista subscription lapse otherwise I'd post it here.

    EDIT: I found my Carista list.
