Prius (2010-12) :: Maintaining Settings During 12 Volt Battery Change
I know there are battery "thingies" that plug into the lighter, which supposedly preserve the settings, but since the lighter is not "hot" when the car is not running, I don't see this working. How to do?
View 3 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Check Hybrid System Message After Tire Change
I Opened my 2011 Prius trunk to get the tire wrench to take my snow tires off, and install my main tires and rims. When I went to start up the car after it was done, I have a "Check Hybrid System" Message on the MFD. I wondered if I'd hit one of the 2 orange items on the Electric drive battery, that was exposed in the trunk, and I can't get rid of the message. The car is not drivable, the system doesn't read "READY" and the engine doesn't start.
View 8 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Vehicle Settings - Remote 2-Press Unlock / Key System With Elec Means?
I am new to the web site and new to owning a Prius. Recently my wife and I bought a 2013 Prius two. I have a couple questions about the settings menu on the display. When you hit the set up button and then 'vehicle' it gives you a list of several items you can turn on or off. The first few are pretty easy to understand such as the doors unlocking at a certain speed or when shifting to or from park. But the others I've tried to search for what they mean and can't find anything. So my questions are:
1. What does 'Remote 2-Press Unlock' mean? And
2. What does 'Key System with Elec. Key' mean?

Prius V :: Change From Kms To Miles - No Screen Show Up To Save Settings
I have a 2013 Prius Wagon. Have noticed that I can go into the General setting and should be able to change from kilometers to miles. Go through all the steps, selecting miles as the new option, and then nothing happens. There is no screen to save settings, so nothing happens.
On the other hand why would those smart apples designing this system just not link to whole process to the button on the dash that changes the speedometer function. Just like it did in my 2005 Malibu!!!

View 4 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: Have To Press And Hold Button To Open Or Close Moonroof
Recently, I have had a problem with my moon-roof, this is the second time this has happened. Normally when you press the open button, the roof slides all the way open, slides all the way closed and sealed when you close it. It also opens when you remotely open all the windows. OK, for some reason it stopped doing that! You have to press and hold the open-button to open or close it, and when you close it, it won't seal right unless you tap the button just right as it closes. When you open all the windows remotely, the moonroof remains closed.
The first time it started doing this, I took it to my friend's independent Lexus service center (now defunct) and Lee did something with the button to reprogram it and the moonroof worked as before. Recently it stopped working again. I don't know if I pressed something I shouldn't have or what! I assume that there is a way to reset/reprogram the moon-roof, just like there is a way to set the doors to lock - unlock when you shift the car into drive or park? What can I do to save an expensive Lexus dealer reset? My car is 2004, Levi/navi and loaded.

View 3 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: 2007 - Cannot Change To EV Mode Message With Three Beeps
I have a 2007 base model and for the last two months I keep getting three beeps and on the mfd shows up "Cannot Change to EV Mode Now". I haven't done any mods to the car. It seems to happen during the first couple of miles after start up, but it also happens when I need a little extra power to pass a car on the highway or if I've been coasting for a few seconds and then hit the accelerator again. I live in Atlanta and the temps have been 60-80 degrees for the last few months, so it's not getting to hot / cold.
This might be a coincidence, but it seemed to have started doing this after my last emissions test. The gentleman who did the test acted like he had never seen a prius before and took him a good 10 minutes to hook up his equipment. As this is going on, he proceeds to touch all kind of buttons on the MFD and got to screens I have never seen before. It wasn't until a younger co-worker came over and showed him how to hook it up that he stopped messing with buttons. My question is, could he have done anything on the screen that would cause the issues I'm having.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Oil Change Soon Warning And Oil Change Required Message
Circumstances required me to make an emergency trip to Phoenix this week. On the way down, I first got the "Oil change soon" warning, followed by the "Oil change required" message a few hundred miles later.
I religiously keep my truck serviced on time, and have never had either of these warnings come up before. My truck had 2700 miles on it since last service was done when this first warning came up. My truck gets very little idle time, so it's not sitting idling for hours a day.
My question is, is this oil change message a result of an actual oil monitoring sensor that measures oil quality on-the-fly, or is it strictly based on a miles or odometer timer that gets reset when dealer changes the oil?
At this point I'm wondering if the kid that serviced my truck either forgot to reset a timer, or worse, just "pencil whipped" my oil change. I have to call my home dealer back, since the service manager wasn't in yet when I called.
Prius (2010-12) :: How Long Does Traction Or Hybrid Battery Hold A Charge
I've noticed that after sitting over night my battery for the hybrid system is not charged enough to operate the car in EV or for the first mile or two it does not seem to use as much electric power to supplement the car. After a couple miles it is charged or near charged and I see more use.
View 5 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Headlights And DRLs Always On, Even On Auto Settings
I have a 3rd gen Prius (registered in late 2009, but technically a 2010 model), with European "Premium" package including HID low beams and LED daytime running lights. The car has "auto" setting for lights, so I think it should be able to automatically turn on low beams in dark. At least dashboard lighting and the touch & go screen automatically dim, so there must be a sensor (the black dot in last photo, I think).
The problem is that low beams are always on (except in "parking lights only" mode). There is no difference between "auto" and "headlights on" setting. My guess is that this is because of the Nordic legislation requiring headlights being always turned on before 2010 (after 2010 daytime running lights were required/permitted in EU). Whether this behaviour can be changed through OBD programming? It really bothers me to run HIDs on daytime, because in the end all the extra energy is coming from fuel, and also because they have limited lifetime (and probably expensive to replace).
Prius (2010-12) :: Dashboard Settings Shows Fuel Cost
In the dashboard settings, I set the miles to my previous vehicle. When I turn the vehicle off, it shows fuel cost. I could have swore that one of the vehicles we test drove showed an amount saved instead of pure cost, but for the life of me I can't locate this setting anywhere.

There is moisture or dirt blocking the part of my settings display on my dashboard. I can't see the "Trip A/ Miles left before empty" area. Dealer said it was glue inside the dashboard. They ordered a new plastic window. I think it looks like moisture buildup... How would glue have gotten up there?
