    It may be the automatic reminder to bring your Prius in for service. It first lights up 4500 miles after a reset and will then stay on at 5000 miles after a reset.

    You need to read the operators manual for your car. There are some things you can ignore and others that you cannot! You need to figure out which one that warning light is - otherwise it may cost you much more that $400 pounds.:sleep::whistle:(n) You can blow up your motor and will be back to riding the bus...
