Separate names with a comma.
Only when the speed drops before re-engaging. Otherwise I have never experienced this in my 2006. Tom
The laws prohibiting coasting in neutral date from the days of unsynchronized manual transmissions, where once out of gear it would be difficult...
It's not that the hatch won't open when the car is running, it's that the SKS and Fob are disabled when the car is running, which means you can't...
I second the locked comment. Automatic unlocking doesn't work with the car running. Tom
Ig-on draws power from the HV battery. Off and Accessory are the only modes where the relay disconnects the HV battery. Tom
1) Check the SKS disable button under the steering wheel. 2) Replace the battery in the fob. 3) Replace the 12V battery in the car. I know this...
Stop fooling around. This is a bad battery, plain and simple. Tom
Whump, whump, whump noises are not normal. Since it isn't speed related, I can't imagine what it might be. Tom
The refrigerant enters the electrical section during normal operation - no need to wait for a leak. It's designed that way to avoid the seal...
All true, but you miss the point. The point is that normal AC compressors have shaft seals which age and wear. As a natural part of the aging and...
The AC compressor on the Prius is hermetically sealed, with no protruding shafts or other typical problem spots. It could develop a leak through a...
The 88 figure in the manual is an error. Toyota stated that 87 is correct for the NA version of the Prius. Tom
13:1 is the expansion ratio. The compression ratio is 9.5:1, which is fairly ordinary. People often quote the 13:1 figure as the compression...
At low speeds, no. At higher speeds the engine needs to turn to keep MG1 from over-speeding. This is because MG1 must spin backward to keep the...
Atkinson engines run at similar compression levels to Otto cycle engines. Quasi Atkinson engines, like that on the Prius, achieve this by pushing...
You might want to rephrase this statement. I assume you mean that it is easy to accidentally not turn on your headlamps, but it reads like you...
Dense air means more oxygen per unit volume, regardless of the engine type, so Atkinson doesn't come into it. The real issue becomes the fuel...
Green bars on the battery meter is not a good thing. Ideally the SOC should stay in the blue range. In your case green means the ICE is running...
All headlamps will die sooner if left on constantly. HIDs aren't any worse in this department, only they cost a LOT more to replace. Tom
By accelerating faster, do you mean that it has more acceleration at full throttle, or that it takes less throttle for a given amount of...
