When I started my Prius yesterday morning the following indicator lights appeared:
P S
(Battery Image)
(Car Outline with an exclamation mark)
According to the manual, this means that there is a problem with the power steering and the hybrid battery, and possibly other elements of the hybrid system. There was no performance problem apparent in driving the car. I had checked the oil prior to starting and noticed that the dip stick was hard to remove, but the oil level is not low.
I have made an appointment for service at the dealer. Can anyone offer an explanation of what is wrong and how serious this may or may not be? Thanks for any advice.
