Prius (Gen 1) :: Where Is Override Button Under Driver Side Lower Panel

The 02 I bought at salvage, drove home but now sits in the driveway stuck in park.

I consulted my owner's manual (for an 03) and found the info on the override button under the driver's side lower panel. Well, I didn't find any small postage stamp sized tab down under the steering wheel adjuster as it shows in the manual. There is a small, postage sized, louvered plate directly underneath the gear shift lever. There is something attached electrical behind it that I saw when I dropped the lower panel.

Is that the switch or am I looking for another beneath the steering wheel ?

Passat (B5) :: 2003 - Air Recirculation Button Won't Work?

I bough this car (2003 Passat 1.8 turbo) recently and found that air is coming in on highway even air fan is off. I tried to turn on recirculation button, but it is not working (I can't even press it so it hold in ON position). I have read at some TDI forum that it might be air solenoid, but since my Passat is 1.8, location as I understand is different, But I can't find where it is.

May be I should check a fuse? if so where it is located?

Golf V R32 :: Override Automatic Shift Lock?

I was listening to Car Talk a little this weekend and they had a call in from a woman who had an older car (Volvo, I think) where she could not get it out of Park, perhaps related to her dog spilling a lemonade down the console area.

'Click and Clack' confidently said that every car has an override for the servo loop that requires you to have your foot on the brake before shifting out of Park.

"Should be in your manual", says they; citing examples of sticking a screwdriver down a slot in front of the shifter, stuff like that. VW calls it "Automatic Shift Lock". I looked in the manual, and I don't see any override tricks.

Prius (2010-12) :: Lane Keep Assist Override With Cruise On?

Are there any hacks to the "safety" feature which disables Lane Keep Assist in cruise control mode when you don't touch (i.e. turn) the steering wheel for 5-15 sec? Now that is a mod I'd really like more than a NAV override. That thing disabling on me on long stretches of straight highway after 15 sec is absolutely annoying, especially since it does this EVEN WITH my hands on the wheel. To be honest, many times it suddenly disabling on me ended up being more of an overall safety risk than its purpose intended. Also, the thing disables enough on its own due to not being able to sense the lanes where any additional safety almost makes the LKA option useless. The Infinity I owned had a much better LKA lane sensing camera than this Prius. But it can at least be improved a little if we could disable that annoying safety. How it senses that the wheel has turned and try to trick it with a pulse every few secs? Only Prius 5's are installed with LKA.

Phaeton :: AC Recirculation Does Not Work

So after driving my new phaeton for 3 months i realized that my AC re-circulation does not work. When i press the re-circle button , it shows up in the screen. but i don't hear the sounds of the fan any different from deactivating the re-circle. i can smell the bad air from outside even though re-circle is activated.

I believe that the re-circle should function like in other cars. more strong air flow and more colder. Just wondering if it's just the switch that needs to be changed or if there is a valve/door under the dash that I need to look into.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2012 Can't Access Menu That Allows To Override Navigation

I have not been able to locate where this is on the 2012's. Not looking for how to access the menu where you hold down the Setup button & tun your lights on & off a few times.

I am looking for the menu that used to allow users to be able to Override the navigation. I have had a ton of other navigation, both factory & aftermarket, & don't like having to stop to enter a destination.

How to access this menu & whether or not it still allows for the Override option that it once did?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - A/C Recirculation Turns Off By Itself

I have an Elantra 2013, the issue that I face is that when I turn OFF the A/C, the recirculation turns off by itself which I don't want as it will allow dust to accumulate through the open vents when the Car is parked overnight.

So each time I turn off the a/c, I need to press the recirculation button as well so I can turn off the car with recirculation ON. Doesn't happen in other cars..

Passat (B7) :: 2014 - Blower Speed With Recirculation On Vs Off

Am I the only one who thinks the speed of the air coming out of the vents is faster at any given blower setting when recirculation is turned on rather than off? I also noticed that the blower sounds louder with recirculation on rather than off.

My car is a 2014 Passat TDI 6MT with the manual climate control, and has 3,000 miles on it. The cabin filter is basically brand new still and certainly isn't clogged up.

Mazda - Mazda3 :: Heater Only Works Using Recirculation

I've noticed this winter that my Mazda 3's heater is barely working using fresh air. It definitely gives out warmer air than the outside temperature, but not by a whole lot. If I turn on air recirculation, then the air becomes appropriately warm. What would cause the heater to work one way and not the other?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: AC Odor In The Car - Cannot Locate Recirculation Vent?

I'm trying to fix bad AC odor in the car. Instruction says spray into recirculation vent as well as fresh air intake. Fresh air intake was easy but I can't locate recirculation vent. I put recirculate mode on and put the fan to max to feel where air gets moved but was unable to find the vent. Where it is located?

[URL] ....

Diagram there indicates there's one on passenger side and driver's side. I took the cabin filter out and inspected the blower motor housing. There really isn't any recirculate duct or vent. There is a big flap on top of the filter and blower motor housing that opens and closes according to the mode. So when the car is in recirculate mode, it just sucks the air behind glove box compartment.

Camry :: How To Turn Off Oil Reset Button

I just bought my 09' LE a couple weeks ago and today had a "Maintenance req'd" light pop up.

Being certified and I had just got the car 2 weeks earlier, I began panicking. I read the owner's manual and saw it just means an oil change needed.

I read there's a reset button, any way to disable it? I know how to reset but I mean permanently disable it.
