    ...as above.
    had mind done.
    Confused about one of the readouts.
    What was the km/l moving bar is still there but now behaves like a rev counter, but still displays km/l...
    for ex, revving the engine the graph fills, telling me I'm getting over 40km/l, which is clearly not the case

    anyone got similar?

    ta very

    Why not ask the lad who did it?

    Maybe kWh/100km?

    Instant km/l instead of the average km/l?

    I assume this is a 3rd generation Prius?

    I imagine it's now displaying l/100km as an Irish-spec Prius would, except an Irish Prius has a physically different instrument cluster with the numbers ranging from 0 to 10, and "L/100km" where it says "km/L" on yours. These are discrete fixed segments on the vacuum fluorescent display and if you look closely (or shine a torch on the display) you can see that there's nothing else there to display (unlike the speedometer which may have both "MPH" and "km/h" segments available).

    An Irish spec Prius would look more like this (picture is LHD unit so reversed, also it's a Plug-in):

    96748_prius-speedometer-usdm.jpg

    l/100km works in an inverted manner to km/l, so you'll see the bar go up as consumption increases.

    I have a UK spec Prius and this bar is in MPG - again it's another physically different display.
