Give him a break. Afterall, he asked a real Prius question and
received reasonable replies. That doesn't much around here anymore.

"Can someone please read the owner's manual to me while you tuck me in?"

If you don't like to read unreasonable questions about Prius, you can
always stop reading in this newsgroup.

Are you saying that by definition, EVERY post in this newsgroup will be
unreasonable--i.e., will be someone who refuses to reach for and/or open
the owner's manual to his shiny new $5,000 toy?

I've written my opinion of the manual elsewhere--but I'll also point out
that the manual is out in its case in the dashboard bin, and I'm here at
my computer desk. I know you hold people who really don't want to go
out to RTFM in the dark in contempt.
No, I'm not saying that EVERY post etc. I am suggesting that you seem
to go to great lengths to vent your ire at people you feel are idiots,
and unless you can figure out which are idiots in advance, maybe you'd
be better off if you just stayed away.
Just sayin'.
By the way--the key fob battery is covered by a screwed-in plate, not
something that most of us are equipped to deal with (certainly not me).
