I heard prius c if u let the engine run and u left the car for a certain distance (together with the smart key in your pockets), I heard the engine will automatically shut down and auto lock is it?

Any owner test that out?

In the right conditions of road, wind, traffic, average speed... this is indeed correct!
Using the Normal setting plus air-con running requires gentle start up and speed build up to about 90km/h, minimum or gentle braking and coasting to a stop.

a very patient driver, some weed and some chillout downtempo music as well.

Here are some info I found on the hybrid battery...

The battery pack and hybrid system requires NO maintenance until 100,000 miles, when an inverter coolant check (and refill if necessary) is recommended.

And there is a telephone number on the Prius battery pack for you to call to claim a $200 bounty to return that battery for recycling when you junk the car at the end of its service life.

That "toxic batteries in landfills" and "$10,000 to replace the battery" crap you hear from people who know nothing about the Prius is getting REALLY old.

Is there a recycling plan in place for nickel-metal hydride batteries?

Toyota has a comprehensive battery recycling program in place and has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, is recycled. To ensure that batteries come back to Toyota, each battery has a phone number on it to call for recycling information and dealers are paid a $200 "bounty" for each battery.

Hi everyone, new comer here. Place an order in mid march, but even my SA is not sure when the car will arrive. Anyone booked around the same time? So jelous lah you guys already talked about driving

Also, I booked for orange, now kinda torned between orange and black. Anyone with black one who can post a picture here will be very appreciated. Looking foward for more discussion/tips.

May I know that your steering control panel still able to control that ICE?

Yes, and for the opposite style of rushing, hard acceleration + hard braking, you will be rewarded with 11km/l or lower.

any resell value for Prius C?

I think most of you here didn't know what is the price for the Prius-C battery cost. Haha. My salesman known for long time, before the launch, he went for training and shown me the price for the battery and I was surprised it was way cheaper than Insight's battery

I have 2 questions wanted to ask:

1. Can we deactivated the seat belt warning? It's very annoying

2. Regarding the seat, can we add something to make it soft? My gf or mom feel it hard

So mind to share what is the price of the battery?

He shown me the training sheet that he went and it is cost RM8k compared to RM10k (insight) or many other rumours out there saying cost around RM20k

should have some value. i doubt ppl will let it go for free.

when you remove while the car is running, it wont stop beeping even after the car has stop. kind of forces you to only unbuckle once the car is stop.

i would describe the seat as firm rather than hard. i feel it may be tiring for long drives/commutes esp the back row.

as i know its the big brother Prius battery that is costing RM20K. the C has smaller battery so should be cheaper. however i dont think this is a general issue if not the ori prius would not sell so well until 4th gen liao.

yes, i mean the passenger and driver seats cuz the design is more like a bucket seat...causing back easily get tired. everytime my mom or my gf in my car, they have to put pillow at the back to support their back. Even a short 15 minutes also tiring for them. I am okie with it.

Have you guys installed any door visor ?

I wanted to install door visor and the brake lock cuz now without any lock feel unsecure.

Where did you get the info the Prius battery cost Rm20k?

Its only USD2k+ and the SA told me its about RM8k here.

In Taiwan, The Prius C hybrid battery cost is NT49,000 (RM5,123). perhaps next time we can smuggle one in

As heard from some SA, 50% depreciation once you buy it as hybrid still new in Malasia.

Haha.. for making it soft, i plan to wrap full leather. Maybe you can wrap full leather once u are bored with the texture.

Wow.. thanks for the info beck_ken. i add to first page.

Haha if free i dont mind having a second prius c haha. As still very new now.

nicey

I wish it is 50% depreciation...

Prius 2010 still selling 118K in www.mudah.my, if 50% depreciation, it will be 70K, than I will get the second hand one, really value for money.
