    Valet Card

    Danny - I didn't get one when I took delivery. Dealer knows nothing about them. Dianne was going to send some to me but I think she forgot.

    Wow, my shoddy Spanish translation really worked?

    So, when they read "Laugh at Tech-nerd for driving futuristic car" did they actually laugh at you? 8)

    Do you know of any changes that need to be made to it?

    Yes it has worked a few times now! No I didn't get any "extra" laughs! I know not an ounce of Spanish so I can't offer any revisions.

    Tag, did you make up the Spanish valet card? Someone over on the Yahoo toyota-prius group was asking about one so I provided a link to this thread. Do I have your permission to post the jpg on Yahoo, or would you prefer that I simply provide the link to this thread?

    Thanks!!!

    Luis Perez at Toyota-prius Yahoo group had the following comments abou the Spanish valet card:

    Hi!!!!

    I saw a few mistakes in the translation. I was raised in Mexico, and some of those words are not used in Mexico; or the grammar is not correct.

    The items corrected for the file are shown below.

    El comenzar= Para Encender

    llave de relleno= Inserte la llave

    Presione el pedal de freno=Pise el pedal del freno

    Presione el boton de la power=Presione el boton con la etiqueta de "Power"

    Usted puede empezar a conducir despues de que siga habiendo la luz del "Ready" encendido=Tan pronto usted vea "READY" en el odometro ya puede conducir

    El cambiar de puesto=Para conducir

    Presione el pedal de freno=Pise el pedal del freno

    Compruebe la exhibicion para confirmar la posicion de la cambio=El cambio [D] o [R] se indica en el odometro

    Estacionamiento

    Presione el boton de parque de "P"=Presione el boton de estacionar [P]

    Presione el boton de la power=Presione el boton con la etiqueta de "Power"

    Saque la llave=Retire la llave

    Here is a new version based on that latest text.

    I also speak no Spanish at all, so please let me know if I have any typos or if there are better wordings than that. (For example: odómetro obviously means "odometer" -- is that the best word to use to describe the dashboard display?)
