    Hi all, glad to be a part of these forums! I'm a proud owner of an 07 Prius, bought it a few months ago. Tonight I turned it on, then proceeded to turn the headlights on, and watched the mpg, fuel, and gear (whole back monitor) switch completely off when my lights are on. The other lights (ready, AC, etc) work fine, and the mpg/gear/mileage comes back on fully when i turn my lights on. Any help? Couldn't find any info on google or in the owner's manual. Thank you

    Twirl the thumbwheel: it's on the dash to the left of the steering column.

    Hi logistics, welcome to PriusChat! I think Richard is probably right and it's just the dial turned down.

    Check out the local HSD meet up group in my sig. We have a lot of Prius in Portland!

    And at least be comforted that a light problem is better than a heavy problem. :p

    :) Howdy logistics

    PriusChat, combined with your Owner's Manual, offer fabulous information about your Prius. Don't forget the PriusChat "Search" feature.

    Another great resource is to be found at: http://john1701a.com/ where you can find a "Manual" in real English, easier to read than the "JEnglish" 400+ page printed Manual that came with your Prius. The "Official" Owner's Manual is so poorly indexed that I created my own "Index" in the back by highlighting pertinent information in the Manual and noting page numbers and subject... helps me re-read info and sharing the page numbers with PriusChat forum members.

    I'm sure you are enjoying your Prius... quite a vehicle, isn't it?
