Strange Screen info showing up on monitor

Pics would help! Go for a drive bring a passenger to work the camera!

 

The energy arrow screen is where I leave mine all the time. It sounds normal. What happens when you press the "Info"button on the steering wheel? There is an option in the menus to automatically change screens back to the Energy screen after a time limit. Perhaps the setting got changed.

 

That is the default (normal) screen that most people use on the Prius.
Red arrows show the engine is running using fuel to drive the car they may also go to the battery showing the engine is recharging the battery.
Yellow arrows from the battery show there is some electrical assist from the battery to drive the car.
Green arrows going back to the battery with no arrows from the engine shows energy being saved (regen) when you take your foot off the accelerator or when braking. All normal operation.

Yeah it looks normal to me too (expect on my screen the "red" is more orange). The only question mark is why it's suddenly popping up all the time when it was not doing so previously.

I always leave mine in this screen anyway, but I thought it was the default behavior for it to come back to this screen in about 10 seconds after using the audio or climate control screens.

Mark, are you sure you haven't just hit the "consumption" button on the bottom of this screen and accidentally toggled it from the "5 minute fuel consumption bars" that pehaps you previously has as your default screen?

 

As others are saying, the screen with the arrows is the default screen. There is a option that can be adjusted to turn off the default screen and cause the MFD to stay at the last screen selected. Possibly someone has changed the setting back to default. Long story short, the MFD is operating normally in the default mode.

 

Mark, what exactly were you previously seeing before this screen became the norm? Was it the "bar graph" screen that shows the MPG in five minute intervals.

 

If all you are trying to do is get back to the 5 minute bar graph, simply push the button "Consumption" in the bottom left of the screen. That will change it back.
