    :welcome: Welcome to Prius Chat.

    There is nothing to tune in the conventional sense. Take a look at the Warranty and Maintenance Guide for your car, depending on how many miles you have and what has already been done you should be able to figure out what you need. If you just take it to a dealer or a mechanic and say "tune it up" you will probably get a lot of stuff you don't need.

    If you resubmit your question here Gen II Prius Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting - PriusChat Forums you will get better answers. Your '05 is a Generation 2 Prius and the guys on that forum have more knowledge of your question than we do here in the Gen3 forums.
