5.4. Driving Environment: Shift by Wire
New Prius is fitted with aircraft-style control by wire systems. Shift by wire saves weight
over a conventional mechanical gear shift system and therefore helps
efficiency whilst freeing up interior space.
The shift by wire system is operated from
convenience. The driver pushes the lever to the required position and it automatically
centres again after use.
The parking mode for the automatic transmission is located above the shift lever and is
operated by a simple switch.
5.5 . Seats & Seat Trim
New Prius is a full 5 seater with integrated height adjustable headrests on each seat.
The back of the front seats are concave to maximise rea
s plit and fold 60:40 for maximum flexibility.
