1) You can get a display of the current temperature by lightly touching temperature control on the steering wheel 2) Doors should autolock once you start driving above a specific speed provided you don't touch any of the door locks beforehand, as well as auto unlock when parked. 3) You can remove the backseat headrests to provide better view through rear window 4) Adjusting tire pressure will affect mileage, you can adjust to whatever suits you though. Examples are something like 44front/42back, 42front/40back, 40front/38back, 40front/36back. Just find your sweet spot. 5) Using B doesn't charge your battery when going downhill read here for the reasoning (however this seems debatable)
Things to check when you get your car

1) Steering wheel slightly off center to the left. I have read that a few people have had this problem. 2) Check illuminated entry or whatever it is called. One user here posted that he/she could only get passenger side illuminated and their driver side did not, while it worked fine for another. 3) Any weirder than normal sounds eg weird sounds not coming from regen braking.

Cost of Prius C without tax exemption

Credit to mkhor7 and Henry1977
Note: Prius C 1.5 : total tax exemption RM97,146. Note: Prius 1.8 Luxury : Total Tax Exemption RM134,500.
If no Tax Exemption : Prius C 1.5 = current Price RM97,000. + Tax 97,146. = (RM194,146) Prius 1.8 Luxury = current price RM145,500. + Tax 134,500. = (RM280,000)
Our Prius C is imported from Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Pte Ltd with AP granted to OTOMOBIL SEJAHTERA SDN BHD, a subsidiary of UMW. On the customs declaration form, FOB cost is RM66,198.43 plus Freight RM3,009.69and insurance RM58.88. 10% Sales Tax of RM6,926.70 is payable while Import and Excise duties are exempted. Total cost is RM76,193.70 at Port Klang. UMW has to add local distribution and marketing costs. Selling Price is RM93,967 (OTR is RM97,000). It seems the margin for Prius C could be below 18% !
If no exemptions, 30% Import Duty is RM20,780.10 , 75% Excise Duty is RM67,535.33 and then 10% Sales tax is RM15,758.24 for this CBU car! Total Exemption = RM97,146.97!
Full CBU Japan except for local Reverse Sensors and Alarm systems with cabin motion sensors, and the stick-on number plates. Audio headunit is oem from Pioneer DEH-M8247ZT a 2009 model with 4x40W output and value about RM220 online.

How to remove your audio player and disable Parking DVD only - Thanks gck ^^
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
1) to remove the DVD parking brake and speed limiter find the below wire
2) Then Cut purple and red color..
connect to any ground- it means any metal parts. this is how i did
3) Then i connect to a ground next to the player... The speed limiter/parking brake Sensor for DVD if you remove it it will not work even if you are not moving.. look for 3 wires connector, green,purple and red .
4)the panel is easy to remove, just peel it pull it out.. dont worry about breaking off any parts, as long as you do it gently...
just checked the guy mudah page, i think the player he only got one unit and sold to me..don't worry out in the market all the toyota oem player will fit as well, just make sure that the quality is good.

Thanks all for contributing. Keep it coming and so pm me your car color and when you book and has it arrived or not . I will keep this thread updated as much I can. For owner can pm me. Thanks. Anyone can create a signature for prius c. If not i try to create one when i reach home today.
Tips And Tricks for the Drivers and Owners: - Apparently there are no jump points like on the normal Prius. To access the 12V battery remove the front panel under the rear seat. For more information refer to the manual.
Those that are curious and don't already have these can check it out:
I thought Prius C maintenance is 10K interval? that was what UMW SA told me.
The recommended engine oil is 0W-20 synthetic for Prius, so I guess Prius C also need to be at the same level.
Cant as using unifi. After change can't online.
And yup. i saw in USA the service interval is 10,000 km. Wonder if dont go for 1k, 5k service will void warranty or not.
to mkhor7 - wah so cheap ah the service, even cheaper than proton.. ok.. toyota its not cheap but reasonable haha. later they see this thread they increase the price.
Any owner want to register their name to owner list ^^
Same mine also no auto lock. I start drive till I stop also doesn't lock. Unless it lock silently and without moving all the door lock physically.
Whether it is silently lock or actually we can heard it when its lock?
Maybe its driver seat can unlock car anytime. Maybe you can test after running the car and ask someone from outside to open the door.
Sometimes too the car is too intelligent until we forgot to lock car. It happen to my Sis Prius a lot of time.
Added on April 25, 2012, 8:57 amAny owner want to play a game for hypermilingfor LYN ? If yes i edit in front page for anyone want to participate. So maybe can sending data here by doing a screenshot on your MID unit.

Wow.. keep it coming guys. I will update our thread with any tips and do let me know who want to participate in hyper milling. ^^ . To proof write ur lyn nick in a piece of paper and take picture with ur MID ^^
Haha.. i think honda jazz hybrid world wide sales is below Prius C. As i read article Price C sold more than 100,000 within 1,2 month of its launch and their factory can't produce more. As heard their initial plan for production is 10,000 car per month. Now they are using Prius Factory to manufacture Prius C i heard.
wow. my SA have an extra ready for stock orange colour prius c as well. Anyone interested can pm me.. ^^ . Seem alot of ppl cancel though ^^ . Or bank negara ruling is very tight nowdays
got two melei gal look at me when i come out of the car and smile
one tudung black top and pants, tall and nice figure
the other slightly shorter but free hair one and the figure damn solid she waer the ketat top i think is 36c

Lmao! There is actually a thread on priuschat about pc being a chick magnet (although some may debate that) hahaha I do agree though that alot of them might find it cute. Hmm, 36c is a nicely sized pao ~
Wow.. nice ah.. thanks salamander for always updating us with latest update as well.
QUOTE(vey99 @ Apr 29 2012, 06:34 AM)
will need to check out what speaker size are those on the 4 doors. maybe can replace them with higher end ones...
anyway my concern is on serviciing also liao
TS maybe can update where folks service their car. I doubt all toyota centre can servis this car.
I think can ah As i heard the service is like normal car. Except for big service which involve hybrid drive and my sis and bro in law have prius and one of it have problem before by spilling water to the battery pack. Only one certified person in malaysia can service or battery pack and others can't do it. As heard its dangerous. So do not put any water in back seat at any cause.

Has anyone tried the "Automatic door locking and unlocking systems" configuration on Malaysia Prius C?
Thanks s3nInsight for the tips.. will update at front page. Keep it coming.
QUOTE(vey99 @ Apr 29 2012, 03:16 PM)
no but that piece of silver is like really flimsy and not fit correctly to steering. but not as severe as what is in the pic la. today i pump petrol.
the fuel filler cap is gosh it is flimsy feel. i had to be so careful i sked it break.
also it tells me i got 906km left.
the fuel tank is 36L, from now i will drive more economically and see what mileage i get out of this full tank.
Wah 906km.. i wish i can have it.. my current car fc is around like one tank 300km haha.
QUOTE(SkyGig @ Apr 29 2012, 06:17 PM)
Today I just pay booking fee for Prius C white pearl.Took a test drive and SA carefully explains all the functions of the vehicle.
Likes: Silent starting engine mode (Start/Stop button) Fuel saving vehicle (I was told by SA it is like RM 0.08 per km) Comfortable ride
Dislike: Interior -dashboard (color looks weird).If it is not a full hybrid vehicle,probably i will choose H. Jazz Hybrid. Audio player no bluetooth.
Once again Thank you timeonce for introducing a friendly SA.
Hi SkyGig. Hope you like my SA. My family had gotten 5 car from him and anything happen to us. we always call him back and he service with top notch. Hope he meet ur requirement by explaining how i works.
Thank you all for keeping this thread active and maybe one day all of us can meet up for prius c chat. hehe.
Keep the post rolling.
Added on April 29, 2012, 9:58 pmHi all prius c owner/ to be owner/ fan..
Do you find my first post informative or any add on u want or ways to improve do tell me ya.
Will try my best to make our forum the best among all fast and furious thread for information for current owner/ to be owner and the fan of prius c ^^

vey99 - wow.. wonder if we can get the grid for our reverse camera .. sigh.. even the cheap reverse camera also got grid for outside market one but yet toyota dont have it.
when i free i gonna try to see where the line suppose to be so far i kenot agak that well also. anyway, may not be best to rely on reserv cam 100% la
haha. yup. But when driving Alphard i always depends on the reverse camera grid as its easy to see. Can't wait to get Prius C to test it out. wonder if we can draw line in the reverse camera haha. But then it be very foolish.
Anyone gone for 5k service yet. Do let me know how much it cost to service ya.
Any feedback from current owner on how good/bad/ review on your Prius C.
