Prius V :: 2013 Can't Find Engine Block Cock For Coolant Drain

I recently bought a 2013 Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) . The car has been in a front end accident but it has been fixed. When buying the car, i did not notice that the coolant in it was green.

I know that prii of this year run on Toyota pink, and I have also read that mixing coolant can lead to sludging and clog your system. So now I am trying to do a total flush and refill. I already have the pink coolant and I was able to drain about 5 qt (7.3 qt total capacity) from the radiator cock. I know about the existence of an engine block cock which would allow me to drain the rest of the coolant. But no matter how much I look I can not locate it.

I have read the repair manual, I know that is is supposed to be in the back of the engine half way up the block or so. But I just cant find it. I can't fill my car until I can do a proper flush.

Prius (2004-09) :: Can't Find Check Engine Code List With Description

I'm going to look at an 05 prius tomorrow and the seller said there is a check engine code. If I had a list with description I can at least know if it could be serious. He said the car drives fine and everything works. Not sure if there is a difference in codes for engine versus the hybrid part of the car .

Prius (Gen 3) :: Can't Find Average MPG Display

I can't find the average mpg display anywhere. On my 2008 I could hit the info button and it would display your average mpg but on my 2013 Prius 3 there is no reading for that, at least I can't find it.

In the owners manual there is a pic of one of the display's that has it in there, but I can't seem to find that display anywhere.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2007 Can't Find How To Release Back Latch

With the car off and me standing at rear hatch and it is raised I pushed the latch closed manually and I can't figure out how to release it back to the unlatched position. I tried the door locks to no avail.

As an aside I was doing this to troubleshoot why my alarm is going off alot. I have a relative new yellowtop battery installed and will replace the fob battery later.

Prius (Gen 4) :: Can't Find The Blind Spot Monitoring System

Can't find the Blind Spot Monitoring system under settings. On page 139 of the Owner's Manual it says, "Make sure not to cancel the systems accidentally". And that's just what I've done. Now how do I get this back? And why would there be a way to "Cancel" a feature that can be turned ON/OFF?

Prius (2010-12) :: Can't Find Options To Switch Off The Rear Dome Light

On our 2013 Prius II, it seems there are no options to switch off the rear dome light for the 2nd row seating without affecting the front -- the rear dome switch is only 2-positions (ON or ON w/doors) instead of 3 like most dome lights are (like the front). The problem for us is that we have a baby that rides in the back and when baby is asleep and we come home guess what happens.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Accidently Hit Reboot Switch - Find Out Car Had No Power

An interesting thing happened at the gym today. While getting my 15 ft extension out at the Gym I apparently hit my reboot switch. Coming back out I unplugged and started, only to find out I had no power. Right away I knew what had happened, so I crawled back there and hit the switch up again. To my surprise, I now had a 14 mile range as compared to the usual 10.8. Apparently the traction battery liked sitting in the warm sun today. To reboot or not, that is the dilemma. There are many naysayers to this procedure, but I say they really have not tried it.

Is there a way I can find out my trim via VIN. I went to a free website and entered my Vin but it just said "BASE/AUTOBAHN"? I dont see how its an Autoban because no leather seats.

Dodge :: 2005 - How To Find Lug Nut Specs

I've got an '05 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. I am so confused by the lug nuts. I tried every socket at Autozone and none of them seemed to fit right. The 23mm gets the job done, but it's loose and goes crooked. Now the threads are barfed up. I bought some new nuts that looked right ( M14-1.5). They start to go on, but then they seize up after a few turns. I'd like to replace the nuts or at least clean out the threads, but how do I know what size?
