A few newbie questions

So true! I could "feel" (hear?? ) how fast I was going in my Jeep and could keep a certain speed without looking at the speedometer much at all. In the Prius, I'm having a very hard time holding a speed. On the flip side, if I'm not paying attention, I can also slow down too much. I have taken to putting the CC on at a minimum speed so I don't wind up doing 45 on the thruway

I'm sure I'll get better at it with practice. This sure is a fun car to drive, and after my first trip with two large dogs, I've found it's also quite roomy and practical.

Thanks for the clear explanation. The only thing I'm not clear now is what is Normal Mode? Any differences between Normal and ECO?

 

DEANFL,

If you have a model V as it sounds you do, when you approach the car in the dark, and are just about 2 feet from your car, the interior lights should automatically grow bright. Mine is doing that just fine. Just learning the options myself, but I have my light button above the shifter set to door if I recall, and they light everytime, even without touching the door handle. If I don't do anything and just stand there, they dim in a short time thereafter.

If that is NOT working, I believe if you check the manual it is customizable, but unfortunately from your dealer. Did you notice the footwell lights yet?? There quite cool although they should have used a different color than amber, but it's a nice touch nonetheless.

Let me know if you need anything else, or message me, as I may be able to assist in answering things I have already uncovered.

 

And, as mentioned in a post below - works only when the doors are LOCKED.

 

Normal maps the accelerator response somewhere between Eco and Power, and is less stingy with the use of air conditioning. Think of it as being in the middle, or simply "normal".
