I'm a little confused as to what the maintenance screen is on my Prius. Is it just a log where I can enter the maintenance I have done? Or is it to remind me to perform specific maintenance?

It requires some fancy finger tapping to get into. The only thing that gives maintenence reminders on the '04 is a light near the speedometer, I think it's every 7,500 miles or so. Toyota keeps a record of all of your scheduled maintenence on their computers. The dealer only needs your VIN to pull up the specs of all work done at a Toyota dealer.

The reminders are user set, both by date and distance. The alerts appear only at or after the set time or distance. There is no pre-warning as there is with the maintenance light.
