Prius (2010-12) :: Any Way To Always Start Car With AC In Auto Mode?

I have a Viper SmartStart and sometimes forget to turn the AC down to LO and leave it in Auto. Is there any way to set the car to always start up with those AC settings?

Prius (2010-12) :: 2011 - Auto Climate Always In Foot Mode?

I just bought 2011 Prius III on black Friday and still not familiar with auto climate. Everytime I press it on, the air flow will set to blow in foot mode so I press mode button to change it back blowing the air from the front. By doing that the auto climate control light is turn off. Can I use auto climate with air flow from the front vent instead of blow down to the foot?

Prius V :: A/C Starts With Auto Mode

It hasn't been cool enough to use the heat yet, but I've noticed that whenever I hit "AUTO" on the climate control of my V3, the A/C automatically starts. I noticed in the manual that I can have the dealer make it so that the A/C doesn't automatically come on with AUTO, and that, to me, makes sense for winter.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2012 - USB Connection Automatically Reverts To Bluetooth?

I have a 2012 Prius IV with the solar package and I love it, but when I connect the USB cord from the (hidden) usb connection to my iphone, it automatically reverts to the bluetooth connection.

I managed to get the Entunes to work for a little bit today, but now it won't connect at all. It has to do with the usb connection. I've only had the car a week- sometimes the ipod will work for a few minutes but then it switches to bluetooth. And Entunes is apparently only supposed to connect through the usb, not bluetooth.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2208 - Speedometer Backlight Doesn't Dim In Auto Light Mode

We've use the Auto position for he headlights most of the time since our 2008 was new. Not every time, but too often, the speedometer cluster lighting doesn't switch to dimmed setting when the headlights come on. It seems to happen most frequently when we are in a parade at night.

The backlight for the radio dims properly with the Rheostat, but not the Speedometer Cluster. To get it to work properly, you simply need to turn he headlights off and back on again. (or today, open the door). Sometimes the dim after a 5 second delay (after covering the sensor), and other times, they don't dim after a 20 minute drive in the pitch black.

Dodge - Intrepid :: 2000 - AC Clutch Always On Even In Heat Mode (no Defrost Mode)

I have a 2000 Intrepid with ATC (automatic temperature control).I noticed my A/C clutch is always is on even in heat mode (no defrost mode) Is this normal in automatic mode even if I set temp at 90° without defrost mode? Been looking on forums and some say it is normal for newer cars and some say no. What is correct.Doesn't seem normal to me when I set temp at 90° and the A/C is still running. The heat does work though.I did check for voltage at the clutch and it has power so something is telling it to run, (not a bad clutch,stuck clutch etc).

I never seen or heard it cycle when watching it. (hard to tell when driving) because the cooling fans go from low to high sometimes even without the A/C cycling.

In manual mode I can physically turn on or off the A/C but if it is on, I never seen it cycle yet when set at a normal temp 72-75° is this normal?I know it depends on outside temp,humidity, inside temp etc but if it feels comfortable in the cabin shouldn't the A/C cycle on and off every few minuts-10 minutes etc or is it normal to go 30 minutes or more without cycling? I don't have it on max Cool or recirculate mode either.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 EV Mode Will Not Work / Throttle In PWR Mode

I have a concern about my 2010 Prius V(five). I've noticed some issues lately that may all tie in to one big problem.

1. My ev mode will not work at all. My battery will be fully charged and not in "B" mode. Turning car off and on will not work.

2. Engine will not turn off when coming to stops. Mind you when the battery is above 3 lines.

3. Throttle response feels like it's in PWR mode(super sensitive) but the engine is leggy. If I floor it for a sec the RPMS are super slow to come down.

4. The Eco line is quick to go in PWR portion and I'm not pushing it any harder than I was before all of this started. It seems like when I push the gas it skips the electric and automatically pulls from the engine.

IS F (2008-2014) :: Sport Mode On Or Off When In Auto Mode

So i noticed, when in auto mode, whether sport mode is on or off, it does the same thing. If i floor it from a stand still, the transmission takes noticeably longer to go from 1st into 2nd then from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, etc. 1st to 2nd takes like a good second, kinda like this:

1st VROOOOM.....................2nd VROOOM..3rd VROOOM..4th.....etc..

If I drive it in manual mode, then it shifts just as fast. So this only happens in auto.

Prius (2004-09) :: Auto Mode - Headlights Do Not Turn On In Pitch Black Night

I recently purchased an 05 prius pack 4, it has an Auto mode on the headlight switch that does not work. as in the headlights do not turn on in pitch black night... From the searches I have done it appears that the car should not have auto headlights and yet it has the switch... I dont think its canadian because it does not have DRLs... if some models DO have auto headlights then what would cause them to not work.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Back Wheels Didn't Spin In Snow Mode

I know the RX350 isn't a real SUV designed to go off-road, but after the recent blizzard on the East Coast I am really disappointed by the AWD in this car. My driveway is plowed by a truck so it is very clean, but the city plow leaves maybe a small 5 inch high pile that about 1 feet across after it goes by. My RX350 couldn't through that the front wheels just kept spinning. I tried snow mode and even push the 4 Lock which I think does nothing. The back wheel didn't even spin once it seemed like I was driving a FWD car.

Our older RX330 a 2004 model got stuck also, but when we jabbed the gas after a few seconds the car made this weird screeching sound and you could see the back wheels spin as it climbed the driveway no problem albeit slowly. Its a bit disappointing to see an older RX has better AWD then the newer models. I mean the back wheels didn't even spin on my 2010 the front wheels just spun. I tried turn traction control off, 4 lock, and snow mode no luck. Also when going up the 2010 kept sliding sideways on my 04 the steering felt washy, but at least it was sliding off the driveway.

I also had A6 before this and it has never gotten stuck and its a lower car so its not like a drive my car through snow bank. We ended driving the older RX everywhere this weekend as the 2010 is not very assuring when it snows.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Battery Indicates 2 Bars And Engine Falls Back To Ignition On Mode

I have a 2011 Gen3. It's driving perfectly. Its charging when being driven by the ICE as normal. Its also charging by regen braking. However, when the car is 'stationary' with full EV battery- and when it looses its charge with lights, fans etc, it cuts out. When the battery indicator drops to the normal 2 bars, the engine falls back to 'ignition on' mode (i.e the dash lights illuminate and the steering goes heavy)

Prius (2010-12) :: LED Headlights Auto Leveling

I had read that the auto leveling only works when you first turn on the lights. But, I have caught mine doing it in traffic. When I come to a stop behind a car, a second after the front end bounces back, I notice the beams dip down half of an inch, on the car in front of me. I have seen this a few times. Seems the auto level feature is always at work. Is this new for 2012?

Prius (2010-12) :: How To Set Auto Dim Mirror Default To Off

I have the Gen3 with auto dim mirror. The factory default is ON everytime the car starts. I prefer to keep it at Off by default because it is too dark for me during day time. I may be misreading the instructions Page 93 on the Owner's Manual and I can't get it to stay on Off by default.
