That's news to me, the headlight angle bit. Thank you.

Hi, I also have a Prius and I got a question... Do you change the transmission oil?

Hi good evening, Thanks for the great video. Can you please tell me what the use of the button closest to the EV button on the left side of the steering wheel. Thanks in advance

Lucky lucky lucky. Good luck

I'm with you on the same time frame.

I just bought a gen 2 prius a few weeks ago. 2009 with 44k miles. How are you liking yours? please share any experiences you have with your car. So far I did a oil/filter change immediately, I changed my engine filter and cabin filter, upgraded interior lights to LED, installed window rain guards, replaced the antenna (made huge difference in radio experience!), both my keys were torn up or taped up so I ordered new fob shells off amazon and watched a video and replaced both mine with brand new outside covers... so easy!, ordered convex larger rear view mirror as my model does not have back up camera :(, installed convex blind spot mirrors, ordered hybrid battery filter ( not installed yet..), replaced my combo meter at dealership ($$ costly 1100 repair), looking to get transmission fluid changed in the next week to be safe. I love my car!!! so fun to drive))) I drove 180 miles to buy mine. I searched and searched for low miles... I bought a habitent for mine so I can camp in it whenever I want.($99 incredible purchase highly recommend.

Hello Flower , the prius V it's defnitly a great car what i do recomend it's before buy have some one inspect it to make sure that one it's in a good condition . having a Prius the main thing is make sure to check oil level between oil changes all Toyota 4 cilinder have a high oil consumption and there is nothing to do to fix it . just add oil as it need and make sure never let below the minimun level . Another thing the prius V have a battery air vent located under the back seet make sure not put anything blocking this vent and to clean the battery every year to extend the life o your battery. also at 80k miles it's recomend to replace the water pump . good luck on you new car and trip. And If you are by orange county California stop by to our shop to say hi thank you Renato

john zurbriggen yeah... Its a great hiding place!

hello cd collection

Yes, I just accidentally found out after 2 years as well. Haha

Yes, but where do you add the oil?

@@yolanda9730 you add oil as normal or when changed. I’m still researching different types of catch cans, because you need to empty the sludge and impurities from the circulating oil; THAT needs to be emptied between oil changes.

@@cameronsimonton2515 Thank you Cameron. Is this something I can do myself? I'm not car savvy. I just bought a 2008 Prius with 148,000 miles.

@@yolanda9730 if you’re not car savvy, might be over your head; I’m a little car savvy, and it looks more than I can handle. I’m going to check with a local garage or two and see what they say it might cost to I install.

Showed put out a A/C troubleshooting video

Mark Koons how’s your Prius? Do you like it?

I'm a big guy but I've learned to get in and out while wearing cold weather gear. Mine needs struts and maybe the batteries are getting weak. On the plus side, The body and interior of this one is really good for a 14 year old. I really like carrying the little fob and having the car obey my commands instantly. It is maybe a half mile each way to work, another mile or two to the hardware store. Driving the Prius seems cost-free compared to the big old Tundra for hauling, towing and snow. I like it well enough to put a set of Firestones on it and give it a 4 wheel alignment. This Prius is like adopting a new dog and finding he's a good one.@@TheSafetysheep

@@markkoons7488 thanks. Helpful to me as I'm getting ready to buy my first car and turns out a colleague nurse's Prius that I want. The lady drives it carefully and knowing how she is, she might've taken a good care of it. Hopefully, I remember to share my experience under this comment again if I end up buying it

@@TheSafetysheep I do like it a lot. No one has ever ridden in the back seat since I bought it. I bought it from the original owner, a professor at CSU who had lived in the deep south for most of the car's life and was able to keep it garaged much of the time. The struts still need replaced and around town it tends to bottom out on deep dips. Still, I get in the high 40s around town and the high 30s on trips down the interstate. I seldom drive it more than 250 miles a day because it is tiring. It really needs struts. Major maintenance includes an annual oil change with full synthetic and high quality filter plus wiper blades every other year.

Hello , there is no problem at all to jump start from the prius or to the prius as long you connect the cables correct as show on the video and make sure do not reverse polarity . thank you Renato House of Hybrids

Adrian Otero keep it in pocket. Ilumkess key fob battery dies down on have to put it in

Hello Adrian , if you have a smart system you can leave in your pocket with a regular you will need to insert the fob to start the vehicle

will f 1. Inverter coolant pump failure ($50 eBay Toyota pump, easy to replace). 2. Dash speedo failure ($65 on eBay, you send, they rebuild). 3. Front wheel bearings can fail. Case by case. They are typically noisy and sometimes loose. $124 Toyota OEM on amazon. DO NOT USE aftermarket parts! 4. 12volt starting battery. When they get low they cause all kinds of erratic issues 5. HV battery pack. 28 modules. Often one fails bringing the red triangle of death and a specific code relating to hybrid battery failure. This is like wheel bearings, happens at random mileage. Some cars go 300k miles, while others only 100k before failure. newpriusbatteries.com can get you all fixed up with NEW batteries. Proven and inexpensive approach. Owner is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. 6. Serpentine belt after 100k. People forget this drives the ICE(internal combustion engine). 7. ICE water pump we discussed above. This is hit and miss and a cheap fix if diy There are a few other things but they mostly affect older cars. All in all the 2nd gen Prius is one of the most reliable cars you can own. They are bulletproof in many cases and only require minimum maintenance.

@@nordicpride9708 Thanks😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

helped me to use seafoam in crankcase about 100 miles b 4 oil change. it cleans rings of gunk.

Ade Some of them consume oil, and some of them don’t; it depends on what mileage the vehicle has, and what type of oil you’re using and crucially what climate you’re operating in. I had my Prius serviced just before Xmas. I’ve done approximately 5,000 miles (UK) since then, and haven’t needed to add oil yet. When I do, it will probably be only 1/5th down from the top dot on the dipstick. It’s not an oil guzzler, but after 100,000 it might drink that bit more - it depends from Prius to Prius. Light oils burn off quicker. I use 5W-30 in my Prius - I don’t even use half a litre of oil between 12 month services yet. YMMV.

I have heard that the 2010 model has problems with oil consumption when they changed to the 1.8 litre.

Hello , Thanks for watching the video The diference in between the P bottom and the emergency brake are that the bottom locks the transmission and the pedal will lock the rear wheels And I aways recomend that you use the pedal one everytime you park the car Because if some one bump in to it and it is only with the P boton on all the onpact will be on the transmission and it can damage it

House of Hybrids Automotive r Very useful to know. Thanks

there no oil on the hybrid system there is transmission fluid that is part of the hybrid system and there is no way to check level the only way to be sure it's doing a transmission service

Merhaba, prius çoğu zaman güç kaybettiğinde, tarayıcıyı çalıştırıp bana gönderebilirseniz, bu hibrit pil sorunu olacaktır; size yardımcı olmaya çalışacağım, teşekkür ederim Renato

​@@houseofhybridsHi good evening, Thanks for the great video. Can you please tell me what the use of the button closest to the EV button on the left side of the steering wheel. Thanks in advance

It's a 2006 model

It means that your vehicle do not have the smart key system.

@@houseofhybrids Thanks

rouge, I had a similar problem it would not start, it turned out to be a loose brake light switch, I found out in the dark when I pressed the brake to start the car the brake lights did not come on.

@@paulsharman3942 had the same problem with my 03 Toyota mr2 Spyder......walked the dog and found my brake lights on....disconnected the battery took it to the dealer.....and they replaced the brake switch....

Did you find out what it was?
