Does your wife have a key fob in her pocket book? The warning you're getting could be from the hatch SKS sensor.

I would really love to zap some annoying drivers on my morning commute!

On Tuesday afternoon when I was picking up my new Prius 4 this came up. You all know the drill.

The last stage of the car buying experience where the salesman sits in the car with you, the engine running no less. (All the time, I'm thinking about how much gas this is wasting and it's lowering my average fuel economy!). Many times we, who have done some reading and research, know more about the car than the salesman!

He did the usual. He showed me how to pair my iPhone and then input my home address in the nav for that setting.
The very next thing he said was, "This Prius has a laser on the front of it. ....." My mind wandered away from what he was saying and I thought, "Oh my God! Do this thing have some feature I haven't heard about? I sure hope so!"

Wouldn't it be neat if there was some sort of tech feature that give people a gentle 'nudge' or tap on the shoulder? Or maybe to make their stereo system shut down because it was vibrating your car from half a block away?

Anyway, I think he really meant to refer to the sonar sensors for parking or some such.

I got a chuckle out of it. Thought you might too.

If you have the Advanced Technology Package on your package Four, then you have the dynamic radar cruise control. When Toyota first started offering a dynamic cruise control system, it was laser based. We had it on our 2004 Sienna XLE Limited and loved it. Toyota has since moved to a radar based system, but it wouldn't surprise me that some salesmen still refer to as being a laser based system, and that's probably what your salesman was referring to.
