    ohhh..

    well if you're allowed to have lights on, you can have the taillight/parking lights on (no headlights) and then turn the dimmer all the way down. Then you'll have the speedo off.

    You'll still have the other warning lights though.


    Just wondering, why do you need it in IG-ON? isn't ACC enough? I think ACC does without the warning lights, no?

    No, you can't have lights on at the drive in, its rude to the people around you.

    ACC shuts off every hour. Which is annoying when your trying to watch a movie.

    Let me get this straight.

    So if you want to take your baby (Prius) to the drive-in without dragging that boombox
    of her brother along, you'll have to turn her ON and keep her ON the whole time, otherwise
    she'll turn herself OFF from time to time?

    What about all that emission she'll be spitting out just to keep you entertained?
