#70 Prius 2 - Cold start, heating and hybrid stages

[@marbesky]

It doesn't switch to stage 4 if engine is not running already If you stop in stage 3 with engine off you have to press the pedal to start the engine and then will do idle check and only after that will go in stage 4 I use hybrid assistant to see exactly when I need to stop

The heated seats should be standard equipment on every Toyota hybrid. They're instant & effective heating 'ersatz' for first few kilometers.

[@gerbre1]

Heated seats and steering wheel, yes.

Top Video! Is it possible, to do it on a Prius IV too?

[@gerbre1]

I already made some P4 videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLOMHyFvP_bshe2rpY7bAneMwd72LuY4Si However with Hybrid Assistant App showing fewer data not with Torque Pro. But this should be possible as well.

[@gerbre1]

I looked closer into the details. Torque Pro allows to add predefined PID sets for Prius II, Prius III and Prius III plugin. No support for Prius IV yet and I did not find any published PID sets in the web. However there is a similar OBD app called OBDLink which seems to support the Prius IV. The following video shows the known PIDs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGnCYWipqK12qas . Hope this helps.

Meanwhile I can confirm it's possible to log and display car data of a Prius IV on a smartphone.You need an OBDLink adapter like OBDLink LX for Android and the OBDLink app with an extra Toyota extension pack for 9,99€. I managed to configure a Prius IV profile and tested it sucessfully with a Toyota C-HR (no Prius was available at the dealer).

Does your gen2 have EV light? I bought US import, i think speedometer is different a little then euro prius 2.

[@gerbre1]

EV light? It has no LED light, just Halogen. Only the break light is LED.

[@alennovak8446]

​@@gerbre1i mean if there is any EV light on dashboard. Aperently euro version have EV light on dashboard and EV button.

[@gerbre1]

@@alennovak8446My Prius was a european version, not a US import.

Great video! Heating in 2nd gen is realy bad for first 5km. There should be eco heating mode that fan is switched on only when coolant temp is above 70 C°. 3rd gen don't have this problem.

[@gerbre1]

Yes, in the following Prius generations the heat-up phase was improved. However when comparing gen2 and gen3 Prius in fuel consumption the two are quite close together. Only gen4 stands out.

[@19inferno84]

@@gerbre1 i agree, gen3 has better highway fuel consumption becouse of 1.8l engine with greater torque

[@19inferno84]

@@gerbre1 i have gen2 and i love it....well if temp not cold too much:)

[@gerbre1]

@@19inferno84 Yes gen3 and gen4 are better on the Autobahn.

[@Salletto]

Hi, how you monitoring that measurements what is on left side of the screen? Some app or?

[@gerbre1]

You can record the car data with Torque Pro which produces a log file. You can then import that file together with the video into RaceRenderer 3 Ultimate and generate a new video with the overlays on the left side of the video. For most drivers it's sufficient to let Torque Pro run on the smartphone during the drive which also shows the car data.

@@gerbre1 thanks 👍👍👍

Gute Video. Wie viel fahren Sie im Monat? Wie teuer das Auto enthalten pro Monat und insgesamt pro Jahr ?
