What is this?

I think it's a clip that holds the plastic panel in place.

 

do not know. I'll check mine when I get a chance.

Just had a look at our 2005. Apparently the Canadian model does not show that. Ours does show a black wire hanger but about 2-3 inches above what your pic shows.

Mine's like that. Not a real finished look, but that's how it's supposed to be.

 

Yorks! Egad, man, you've done it! Raised a question about a Prius part PREVIOUSLY UNCOMMENTED ON, and even previously not pictured in captivity!

I know hyo silver crawls around on the floor of his Prius a lot, and HE didn't spot it. (Maybe the Canadian version didn't get it.)

:lol:

 

Initially, I thought I was being left out of having one of those doovers poking through into the cabin but I finally found one on the right hand side behind the accelerator pedal on my Aussie 06 Prius (right hand drive).
Mine is coloured white and is quite attractive and appears to hold the plastic lining in place.

My doover is white too. I think when they turn red it is a warning of impending engine failure.

What's a bowser?

 

G'day Alnilam (yep I'm from Australia too)

In Australia, we say 'petrol bowser' instead of 'petrol pump' as American's might call it.

I do not know how it came about, ever since I was born people say petrol bowser.

Hope that helps

Cheers,
Kent

G'day to you, Kent,

It sure does. I took some on-line astronomy courses from Swinburne in Melbourne and had to learn a bit of real English. Missed bowser, though.

Cheers!

 

I've got the same thing on mine, but it is a bare metal bolt-like thing, as best as I could tell.

The average American hasn't clue what petrol is. Most of us refuel our cars at the gas pump.

:lol:

 

did we already cover boots, fenders, bumpers, and hoods?

OK, I got down there to see if I had one. I have a little black one. But..... while I was down inside looking, I discovered something else.... Way down, below the steering wheel is a little button. On it, there is a little arrow, pointing left and right, and the word "set." Now, what is that for?

I didn't spot it because it's not there. And anyway, it's in the front seat, not the back.

That sets your low tire pressure light on the dash. If you have a smart key the button next to it turns it off

I looked today. I have something similar but it doesn't look as nasty as yours. Lola's is white. She is an '05.
I have to ask, how did you get down there to even notice? I clean her out and never noticed it before your post.

It goes without saying that the only country that truly speaks pure English is America!
