Could you please describe the secret screen for the 2001 model, how to do it and what it does as well as any other tips or tricks for the Prius. I would really like to know how to get it to go into EV mode or at least trick the acceleration into thinking I am going only 12 mph and really go 30 and get it to stay in Electric Mode only (Same as EV mode I guess)

Thanks

You might start looking at the Prius FAQ and some of the links it points to.

GOOD LUCK!
