New Prius owner here. Just picked up a 2002 with about 85,000. Love the car so far. Is there any way to force the display screen to stay on radio even after you shut the car off so that the radio screen appears when you restart? It always defaults to the energy management screen on start up. Thanks.
Welcome to PC! There is a screen setting called Automatic Transition. If it is ON, the screen will always return to Energy Monitor or Consumption screen after 20 secs. Switch it to OFF if you do not want this feature. If your radio screen is active when you power off, the next startup screen will be your radio screen.

I went out to try and you're right, I was wrong, my bad. The radio did come on but the screen defaults to Consumption or Energy Monitor. I still need to press the Audio button to bring up the radio screen.
