    I just bought a 2008 Prius Touring edition. Upon pushing the start button, the various icons are lit up for a brief period while the car is getting ready to drive. They do not stay on, but they lead me to the following question: What do each of these icons mean? Where can I find a brief description of each of these descriptions online?

    The car did not come with an owners manual, but I did just order one from my local dealer. They say it can take 2 to 3 weeks to get it in, so I would like to know what these are all about in the mean time.

    Thank you.

    That's where I downloaded and created a PDF of my 2007 Owner's Manual. A PDF of the Owner's Manual is really handy because you can do word and phrase searches, which IMO is a lot better than using the Manual's woefully poor Index.

    Here are the substantive sections of my 2007 Owner's Manual in one PDF file --- Section 1-1 will show and tell you what all the icons are:

    Congrats on your purchase. I am sure you will find it a fun car to drive and learn about.
