    I'm signing on my neighbors former 2007 Prius in just about an hour. I'd like to reset all the mileage tracking and everything so all the lifetime mpg measurements are based on my driving and not theirs. Obviously the A/B trips are easy, but can the 'lifetime' mpg be reset? How do I do it?

    Just touch the RESET button on the MFD screen. That will clear the mpg memory.

    Ha! Simple. I'd imagined it would be some complicated plug-in the seat belt three times while waving your arms type of voodoo.

    Thanks :)

    You can do that too, but pushing the RESET button is a lot easier.

    You need to wave your left arm out the window WHILE pressing the RESET button.
