Key light warning on 2005 Toyota Prius dashboard

I always use the push start option on my car. I have only owned this car far a couple of weeks and today there is a warning symbol on the dashboard saying my key is in the car or in the ignition but it is not. I looked in the manual to try to solve but it is not working. Any suggestions?

Interesting. Personally, I would remove the hot side of the battery and leave it off for about 30 minutes and then reconnect it. It sounds like something has corrupted. This will reboot your system.

If that doesn't work...call/write/chat with Toyota and explain what is happening and see if they have a suggestion.

That is to show that the alarm system immobilisor is on. Shut everything off, close all the doors,windows etc. Lock the car. Then open the car using the remote handset or key and try to start the engine, if it still does not start , then you may have to take it to the dealer to check and reprogramme the system. BTW, did you disconnect the battery prior to this fault ? this would explain why the system is immobilised. Hope that helps

Toyota prius

Look in the manual, there are lots of warning lights on the dashboard of a Prius and you don't say which one it is. But, as the vehicle has 2 engines it could be anything.

Rattle dashboard

Yours may be different but on my 2007 prius I found out that the rattling or clicking type noise came from the dash rubbing against another piece of plastic somewhere up by the windshield. I just lived with it.

What does it mean warning light TRIANGLE WITH SNOW on TOYOTA PRIUS 20 dashboard

Hello,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your car. It's actually keeping you safe! If the outside ambient temperature is +37F or lower, your car knows this and gives a warning for possible black ice conditions. Lots of people wonder the same thing, next time it shows the warning, note the outside temp to see if it's below +37F.

I hope this info helps!

Acording the online manual , that is the Hybrid system warning light. I havn't tracked down exactly what it means , but is is grouped in with other service reminders. Will add more info when i find it " Google 2005 prius warning light " one of the first listings has a link to toyotapartsandservice.com

I have a Prius and the anti theft icon flashes when the car is off... it just started doing it... will it run my battery down

As far as I know, both my original 2005 and my current 2007 flash that light when the car is off. I believe that is the whole point - to show any would-be thief that the car may be "protected." A small battery can flash an LED light for weeks or months or even longer, so I wouldn't worry about the blinking LED draining your Prius' 12V battery.
