    Can someone please explain the energy monitor arrows, I try to drive my Prius as best as possible for some reason my arrows are almost all the time RED, This means im using more of the engine. Am i doing something wrong?

    Ensure you are in ECO and EV modes. Unless you are changing it EV will be standard at startup. ECO makes it a little more difficult to get in the RED.
