I test drove the Prius the other day. It was a fun drive, but one thing I noticed right away was how to start the car. After pushing the start button, it took a few seconds before the engine started. It seemed like a long few seconds. I'm certainly not used to this system, so is this normal?
Also remember that the internal combustion engine may NOT start until the computer decides it is needed. "ready" simply means the car is ready to go!!
jsuh84, Here's a great article written by john1701a that will explain everything. It helped me immensely. It should be a must read for new owners. (Thanks John) http://john1701a.com/prius/documents/Prius_User-Guide.pdf
Oh, duh, since this car works between two systems. And thanks for the link, Neicy. I'll definitely take a look through this later tonight!!
