I took delivery of a Silver Prius 2006 just before the weekend. Although I test drove the previous model on two different occasions,I am still pleasantly...
Hi John ... This subject has come up regularly in the past. The current state of play is: - on North American current-model Prius, the beep can be disabled....

Hi John ... Technically, backing onto a busy road is an offence in the UK, though I see people doing often enough. The trick is to back off the road, when you...

John, I would suggest to you it is better to put the car into 'P' whilst waiting for a gap in the traffic. You will note from the manual that there are a...
Hi, One of my friends posted a note that the European Prius may have had an option for a 'fold down' seat in the NHW11 (2001-2003) models. Does anyone have...
Lars, I don't quite understand this. In all the car washes I go in the UK you stop the car completely and turn everything off. Why do you need to be in 'N'? ...
Some car-washing machines drag you inside the tunned and the machine itself is stationary. Others want your car to sit dead stationary while the machine is...
James, That's all true but I recall someone on the UK site pointing out that a rear-end shunt while in 'P' (even a small one) can ruin the Pawl which could be...
... Hmm. Archaic? They all have them, old and new. The "pawl" on a Prius is an electrically operated bolt that pushes through part of the gearset. Indeed a...
Two responses to this. I wouldn't necessarily put it into 'P' and would be ready to take evasive action until I was happy traffic was stopped behind me. In the...
Joao, believe it. Unless someone can contradict me I don't think we have those machines in the UK, I certainly have never seen it. James ... machine itself is...
Hi there Prius owners, I am a bit concerned that my new Silver 2006 has no temperature gauge but only a warning light. With my previous car the temp gauge was...
Well, the Temp warning will probably only lit at coolant temperatures above 110 °C, if it's anything close to the P1 in the P2. Starting at 94 °C, however,...
John, But what about an oil temperature gauge or a temperature gauge for the electric motors/transmission, or the battery temperature? The Prius monitors all...
... Thank you Richard for the interesting information regarding the coolant temperatures and the fans. How can I get more information (incl. cost) of the...
I'm a bit previous with this one because I don't get my Prius until end of July! I've ordered the T5 spirit and would like to have included the IPA. Trouble is...
Hi Alan ... Difficult. If you trust your dealer sufficiently you could take the car and get them to fit the sensors when available, but sometimes they rather...
Thanks for the input Jerry. A bird in the hand makes sense to me as well. Regards Alan JerryW <jerrywh@...> wrote: Hi Alan ... Difficult. If you trust...
Hi All In case anyone is interested, I have worked out some figures for mpg on my recent rip to Spain & Portugal: We filled up the day before leaving and drove...

Jerry, Sounds like a great trip. What do mean by "weighted and averaged"? I wouldn't worry about your indiated consumption being "a little optimistic" compared...
Hi Paul ... Suppose you have filled the tank five times. The calculated mpg for the total mileage is easily calculated, as total mileage divided by total fuel ...
Thanks Jerry, Makes perfect sense. I was for forgetting that the NHW20 resets at each fill-up. I just wish there was more than one consumption monitor on the...
