Don’t be scared of the B. It’s not a mysterious code. It’s not going to break your car. It’s a simple, helpful tool for when the road gets steep or slippery. Use it on long downhill stretches, especially if you’re carrying heavy stuff like camping gear or kids and their entire wardrobe.
So go ahead—next time you’re driving down a hill, click to B. Feel the car gently resist, listen to the electric hum, and smile. You’ve just discovered one of the secret superpowers of your Prius. And hey, you’ll save a few bucks on brake pads, too. That’s a win for you, for your wallet, and for the planet. Happy driving.
