No you don't have to warm up the prius before driving. In fact you should not warm up any vehicle before driving. The best warm up is to drive off gently.

'10 Prius IV nav screen is too bright by justlooking9
Aug 27, 2009 (9:48 am)

I just turn off nav at night because there does not seem to be an adjustment for night mode. We have an '06 RL with nav and that screen changes automatically to night mode with a dark background. Anyone know of a day/night adjustment for the nav?
 
It would also be nice if there were shading over the screen to see better in direct sunlight.

'10 Prius IV fuel gauge miles left by justlooking9
Aug 27, 2009 (9:55 am)

The first time I refueled, the dash gauge indicated I had a range of less than 20 miles. The tank has an 11.9 gallon capacity, but I was only able to put in about 9.7 gallons. That seems to indicate that the range was calculated withholding about 2 gallons for reserve (which would be about 100 miles). Has anyone else noticed this?

On my wifes STS there is a menu that you can choose. It has day, night and auto. You set the brightness for each day and night thay you like and then touch auto and when your headlights come on it changes the screen to nighttime. Or you can manually touch either day or night. Is there a screen somewhere simular on yours? Hers is under the personal settings.

Just filled up again. I drove for about 5 miles with the range saying zero. When I filled up, only put in 9.952 gals. It seems to confirm that when the range is zero in my Prius that there is still about 2 gallons in reserve.

Make sure the dial for background lighting is not all the way on. Run it to maximum and then back it off until you feel it pass the "detent." If you leave the background lights in full bright mode, the Nav screen will not switch to Night Mode.

That is so cool, you were absolutely right. My interior lighting was at max since I brought it home from the dealer. I set it down a little and the nav immediately switches modes when I turn on the lights on/off. Thanks!

'10 Prius IV nav bread crumbs by justlooking9
Aug 27, 2009 (12:09 pm)

Most of the time my nav screen displays little circles on the roads wherever I travel, sometimes it doesn't. I have not figured out how to turn off/on these "bread crumbs". What makes them start appearing and why don't they go away? The routes I travel often are totally covered with these little circles.

'10 Prius IV XM Radio questions by justlooking9
Aug 27, 2009 (12:13 pm)
Reply
My XM was working when I test drove and purchased my Prius, but I have not seem any documentation about how long the initial XM subscription is for.
 
How long is the initial XM subscription from the dealer and does that include XM traffic?
 
Can I change MX channels one at time from the steering wheel? It seems to only change through the presets.

It is good for 90 days and includes XM traffic. Once you set up your preset channels on the screen, you can scroll thou them from the wheel.
