Hello - I just had my oil changed at the Toyota dealership this morning and when I was driving home I noticed the blue line is appearing in the eco area of the hybrid system indicator screen. It does go outside of the lines like it does when it’s “coaching” you as I turned that off. I’m wondering if the car isn’t in some sort of diagnostic mode? How do I get rid of it? I’ve attached photos showing what I’m talking about. There is one photo with a yellow arrow pointing to what I’m talking about.
I'm not 100% sure what you're indicating. Everything there looks normal. Are you talking about the darker and wider blue line that is behind the light blue/cyan coloured acceleration level? If so, that's the accelerator guidance and you can turn that off in the settings.
Yes - that one. Prior to the oil change it was not moving super slow like it is now. It’s definitely no the way it used to work.
It does move very slowly sometimes, especially at higher road speeds. I doubt an oil change would effect it as it's purely a calculation based on the engine speed, eCVT position, and road speed, to give you an idea of how much accelerator input you can use while staying economical.
I figured it out. I must have gotten the new person as they erased the eco savings, odometer, and a few other things. I just reset it to factory and it’s working fine now. The wider blue line was really acting erratically. Thanks for the help.
Maybe the 12 volt battery was disconnected during the service, cleaning the posts/clamps or something? They should hook up a memory saver of some sort if doing that, unless it's something that absolutely requires the car to be dead. What service was it; how many miles/months?
Just drive it. Believe it or not, I get the BEST gas mileage when I stop watching all those displays and dancing lines, and just drive my Prius like a normal car. I believe those indicators are too distracting, and may just confuse most people. Maybe even a gimmick? I usually turn it all off... I put the compass up there or something else.
I would be pretty P1553D off at the garage if they reset everything on a routine service. Battery change or major repair where they have to disconnect the battery, ok, but not on a service. I suspect they were playing around with the settings, a poor service IMO.
