A few quick notes on the Prius-II from a non-Prius-II owner …

Hi All:

___Dead stick glides work in the Prius-II just as they did in the Prius-I so the warm up hit can be managed with the right kind of initial route.

___The drivers seat bottom is a bit short for me and my right thigh is off the seat cushion while on the accelerator. I will work on a better driver position tomorrow.

___EV is much stronger (much less hit on the pack for an equivalent distance) then in the Prius-I.

___All 5-minute bars can be pegged in 63 - 64 degree temps and medium to light rain on my drive to the Interstate tonight. Not a chance of that in the Prius-I.

___Bluetooth … I cannot seem to upload my Motorola’s 815 address book to the Prius’ address book?

___TPMS ... Manual states a max 73 # tire pressure before the transducer evokes a TPMS warning.

___SG-II at 0% speed/distance and 0% Fuel use offset seems to be at least 10% off of the MFD I just started the SG-II calibration tonight so we shall see what comes of that?

___Tank was almost empty when it arrived. Drove 51 miles beyond the last blinking pip and added 12.2 gallons.

___Good Luck

___Wayne
