Separate names with a comma.
I've never been in a situation where the Prius C didn't have enough power - but sometimes you have to push that pedal all the way down. The "Eco...
Does the opening the driver door actually apply hydraulic pressure to the calipers? I always thought it was just priming the brake booster,...
Unless you're in the habit of braking aggressively, the Prius C is very gentle on the pads and rotors because of its regenerative braking. In...
Yep, no discrete warning light on my 2012 Prius C, just the last blinking bar on the fuel gauge. When that bar starts blinking my top priority is...
If you're going a constant speed on a level road without any wind and there is no difference (such as standing water) in the rolling resistance,...
It's true that a simple open-circuit voltage test won't really test the ability of a battery to supply enough current to crank an engine. But...
I can't say exactly what it is, but it certainly doesn't sound like the engine. The Prius C has a number of electrically-driven systems that can...
If I suspected an issue with the battery in the fob, then I'd: 1) Replace the battery with a fresh one 2) Make sure the contacts are all clean...
Yup, can't really argue with any of that!
Sure, the "12V" label applied to these batteries is just an nominal value. But measuring the health of a battery solely by its no-load voltage...
Yeah, I just got a load tester for my 5 year old battery - it's one of those meters with a super heavy duty resistor to draw around 100 amps from...
Generally speaking, yes. Although the actual improvement may be in the "noise" and hard to notice.
Mendel's advice is sound, IMHO. The grille and fan don't have to be pristine, they just need to be functional and clean enough to allow a good...
I generally regard 5 years as being the servicable lifespan of a car battery, and this FAQ seems to support that. And I generally prefer to...
A 12V battery problem would probably cause error codes or fail to start the car, I doubt that it would affect gas mileage. Is the car going into...

Just as another data point, I left my 2012 Prius C with its original battery sitting in my garage in moderate temperatures while I went on a...
I have never heard of this requirement, and to me it just sounds like a scam. But - you need to make sure that the battery can keep itself cool -...
This looks like it's going to be a very interesting series, thanks for posting!!!
I'm at 66,000km and no worries so far. My fuel economy dropped pretty noticeably over the winter (more than the previous winter) and I started...
