Priusees write in

The public speaks! Here are some emails about my Prius webpages—questions, explanations, confirmations, and e-chats about things related to their Prius (or soon-to-be their Prius).Thank you for your thoughts, your information, and your humor. These are in the order received with, if applicable, my response(s)

Valet parking instructions. GusB; Wed, 10 Oct 2007. Copy of email from GusB to the Toyota dealership where he bought his Prius. As a “public service”—Toyota no longer provides a “Valet Instructions” cheat sheet for operating a Prius—here are two bits o' documentation Prius owners might find useful. Non-Prius owners might also find these useful. Note: These are for the model year 2004 Prius. Your mileage may vary, so to speak.

- Toyota 2004 Prius: Quick Reference Guide. This guide explicitly tells how to shut the car off (as opposed to “parking”).
