I would like to know why the 2004 Prius Owner's Manual indicates that the vehicle requires a start-up and re-charge after a maximum of 14 days of non-use of the vehicle.
It would seem that if the "POWER" button is swithed OFF and the "SMART" entry system is deactivated (if the vehicle is so equipped), and assuming that the vehicle is in my garage, in an unlocked condition, so the alarm system would not be activated either.
As such, it would appear to me that there would be almost no drain on either the Hybrid Battery or the Auxilliary battery, other than to power the digital clock in the car.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, does anyone know if the vehicle could be left for longer than the 14-day period without needing a start-up and recharge?
