I got my snazzy silver streak Prius a couple of weeks ago (paid too much for it, of course, but I don't want to talk about that) and I love it!! So far I have driven about 400 miles (43.9 mpg). However, after driving it and reading through the owner's manual, there are two issues for which I cannot find answers. Please help me!!
(1) A couple of times the battery icon on the Energy Monitor display has turned from blue to light green. I checked the settings and could find nothing changed. Later, the icon turned back to the normal blue. Is this a display failure or it it a warning signal?
(2) The other issue concerns the power steering system. On p. 213 of the owner's manual there is a notice that states: "If you repeat the operation which will turn on the overheating prevention, the electric power steering system may be damaged." The only suggestion given is to leave the vehicle in IG-ON mode for a while to cool the system. If this a problem of translation. Can someone explain this in plain (preferably Southern) English?
Many thanks for any help you can give me.
