What new thing have you discovered about your Prius?

Cool, good to know. Thanks

 

Where did that tray come from? I don't see one anywhere in my car. Perhaps I'm about to discover a new thing about my Prius.

 

Lift up ur arm rest

 

Toyota took it out of the 2012-13 no tray.

 

You can get a tray from your dealer from a 2010-11 they are about $25. ugh!

 

+1 I total agree.

 

that didn't stop me (the sucker) from buying one anyways. yeah it's still pretty useless, but also nice to have

 

Found out you don't need to put the car in P just push power off it automatically goes to P save one step

 

It taught me to drive better... not using my brake like I used to, learning pulse & glide and trying to get the most MPGs out of every trip... and learning to trust a front wheel drive car in ice and snow again after years of four wheel drive vehicles... (witnessed someone else's Prius tackling my unplowed road in 6" of snow... that is truck work for me but was happy to tackle 2" without any "worry" from the display) and looking forward to summer MPGs after working with what winter gives you...which was somewhat depressing...

And my wicked side came out last night after the dinner with my nieces... had a serious tailgater who did not get off my bumper even though I was at or above the speed limit. Windshield was dirty anyway from road spray due to melting snow... and the tailgater got a load of ("oh my Gawd, that stuff just came from a Prius?!" ) wiper fluid elegantly and aerodynamically deflected from my Prius to the front of his/her SUV and he/she backed off.

I was just taking care of business... needed a clean windshield and just defending my personal space on winding, dark, deer laden rural roads.

This stuff they don't mention in the owner's manual.

 

No way! I never knew that! That's the coolest feature by far... thanks

 

Can't do that in LA unless your Prius is bullet proof! LOL!

 

In the backwoods here... and definitely not something I normally do...

 

...unless you install the NAV Override...

 

I do not know anything about the override for the nav, or this company. You might want to check this out though. Prestigious Society » Navigation and Video Enhancement Module » Prestigious Society

 

Look in PriusChat store for the item and search for the NAV Override threads here to see the installation comments and instructions. It works great.

 

It's called "get a Garmin" or whatever brand of gps floats your boat. I'm not even kidding. You will be way happier with any off the shelf gps than the crap one in the prius. Happier in terms of features, and especially in the long run when it comes time you want to update your maps and find the upgrade for your prius gps cost nearly double what a gps with lifetime free map updates does.

 

I just figured out that the little light in the roof above the gearshift lights up the gearshift. I'm usually just eyes to the road and don't have a chance to look around in the car when I'm driving!
