Separate names with a comma.
I don't think it's "artificial", I see it all the time. It's caused mostly by air drag, which increases as the square of speed as I recall....
Do note that the Prius gets -worse- mileage on the highway than in the city. Some of the posts above seemed to imply it would be better.
The only damage that would occur is with the plastic panels that line the bottom of the car. There are no mechanical parts low enough to be...
A third gen Prius traction battery will not burn. There will be no fire. NiMH batteries contain no flammable parts. Your battery is still...
An alignment shop should notice a bad ball joint right away. They will stop and refuse to continue the alignment until the bad parts are replaced...
I don't know about the US or even B.C. but here in Alberta -all- stations must sell -only- ethanol (up to 10% alcohol) in "regular" grade. Some...
The high voltage cabling runs under the car. It's well protected, but just so you know. Most of the electronics is up front, other than the...
Yup, they are free from the Toyota dealer. You have to "demonstrate" you need one, but if you do they are free.
That is NOT a "portable" solar device!
Build your own. Most ramps you can buy are too "steep", that is they hit the car before the wheel is lifted enough. I use two 2X12 boards each...
Typical solar panels are set up for 12V DC output. You would need an inverter to convert that to at least 115VAC to charge a Prime. That's one...
Right from the start, "towing is not recommended for the Prius" from Toyota. -However-, such a light load and such a short distance should be...
A little candle wax in the hinge might help if there is no other fix.
I'm with Bisco. EH!
Actually, starting up the car takes very little power out of the 12V battery. It's a high current pulse of around 50 Amp but only for half a...
For those "not in the know", have another look at the photo posted. Notice all the arcs of sunlight on the road? The leaves on the trees act...
Is the "offering" of NiMH vs Lithium Ion batteries related to ambient temps? For example, we know the NiMH has a shorter life in places that are...
That's funny Tideland. Mainly because before the 31 days the 12V battery will be dead and all will be for "nought". ;) Unless of course,...
So, in part, this "Quebec only" policy is related to building up points there. But is it also related to the lithium ion battery minimum temp.?...
I would check the 12V battery, and if weak, replace it. All problems may then go away. The codes may not be related to "real" problems, but...
