    No, it is to charge the HV battery. As long as you have 4 or more bars showing on the MFD, you should be able to leave it in N and get through a carwash without a problem.

    Is the problem solved? If not, it can be low engine coolant level, or leak. I did my waterpump yesterday, because was losing a lots of coolant, and as it is getting below low level, it is actually making bubbly sounds. Of course you never want to let it drop so far down, but happened. Sorry Prius, I still love you. So, I drained the coolant, replaced the waterpump, filled the system up, and let the air out. Heated it up in service mode, and there is a valve to let the air out. Look at your coolant level, and bleed the air while the car is running in service mode. If you need more information, just let me know.

    I actually did exactly what Patrick and said - over the period of 3 nights, I started the car, revved it with the heater and fan on full blast for about 7-9 minutes, then turned the car off for the night (to let it cool). The next morning, I'd open the radiator cap, and indeed it would be lower and not visible. I'd then refill to the specified mark and repeat the process. The final time, I opened the radiator cap and it had not gone down at all (though it was brownish), and the sound had virtually disappeared. Thanks everyone!
