Separate names with a comma.
Not completely true. Changing one parameter will switch only this parameter to manual, the rest stays automatic. So, while in AUTO mode, setting...
Also true for Gen III, even if making a change to MODE or fan speed turn the AUTO light off. 1. Go in AUTO. 2. Change the mode to whatever you...
More than that: With all the development that has been put into the internal combustion engine for a 100 years, I don't understand how these...
There is no more coolant thermos in the 3rd Gen Prius. It was in some way replaced by a coolant heat exchanger on the exhaust system.
There is a space in the spare tire tray to hold it. Remove the floor of your trunk, lift the plastic compartment and look under. Your dealer may...
Hum. Have you noticed that if you maintain a fixed accelerator pedal position, from a stop, the HSI graph will not stay fixed as it will rather...
As I understand it, this is less true for the Gen III as the engine is efficient over a larger spectrum. Using the HSI, I would define "brisk"...
As explained by others, fuel consumption shows as 0 when the car is stopped. As soon as a speed shows up on the display, fuel consumption will...
Just a quick note for other readers: you cannot overcharge the battery. The car will prevent this by automatically using the ICE to pump air...
The latter. Same reason for the car to simulate engine pumping loss by slowing the car down with regenerative braking when you lift your foot from...
My understanding is that the iPod interface kit will not work with non-nav JBL radio with integrated satellite radio. I've bought a package with...
Thanks! Therefore, am I right in saying that the final torque/power is generated by the HSD with the most efficient mix of adequate PWM and...
True. But you can reach the same voltage in any mode, you will simply need to change how far you push the accelerator. A simple analogy: Think...
Logically, it needs to apply to the whole user power request, not related to the computer decision on where this power will come from (MG2/ICE)....
Hum... To vary power, you vary the motor torque, which varies according to its input voltage. So voltage varies continuously depending on the...
Max battery output is 27 kW, while MG2 max output is 60 kW: the difference needs to come from MG1, rated at max 42 kW. So part of the ICE torque...
Note: I was on flat ground. As I remember, battery was "normally full" (ie with only one or two bars missing), but I may be wrong. I'll have to...
For the second or third time, I've seen this morning an unexpected behaviour of the HSD for the ICE RPM. Few minutes after I’ve left home,...
As explained in the post above, you've got things reversed. It is: 1. Motor-generator1 (MG1) is the sun gear, in the center. It is usually used as...
The brakes are applied, keeping MG2 (the wheels) stopped. MG1 spins with energy from the battery, forcing the ICE to turn, then ignition is...
