Help With T Spirit Specification

[Greggyboy]

Hi all, my first post, it's a relief not to be a virgin anymore!

I've been reading this section a lot recently as I think I'm after a gen 3 Prius 10 plate or similar (90% convinced). Can anyone tell me if the park assist and lane assist was standard with the T Spirit, or if not are there any visible signs on the car that would tell me if it's got it (I thought maybe front parking sensors were a sugn?)? I've asked a few dealers and they've never heard of these options!!

Thank you all, Gregg

Hi the T spirit has self parking but as far as I know the standard T spirit hasn't got lane assist.

I can confirm the T Spirit has self parking but no lane assist.

It occurs to me that dealers who have never heard of park assist on some prius models should perhaps be bypassed with respect to matters prius. My wife's 2007 Gen2 T spirit has park assist so its hardly anything new in the prius world.

On the gen 2 prius there is a small dash mounted switch to the lower left of the steering wheel which enables the park assist.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Was lane assist an option or is it US only? (I.e. have I been watching too much you tube!)

[Grumpy Cabbie]

Yes it was.

I think it will be coming here on the next model (2012? model year)

Yes, as an option on Prius Five (US) only.

Cheers, that clears it up

Easiest way to spot a T-Spirit is to look for the small rear-view camera lens, mounted above the top left of the rear number plate.

Although there are a few T3 and T4 gen3 prii with aftermarket cameras.

Early gen3 prii have a T3, T4 or Tspirit Badge on the rear but these were left off on later gen3 (late 2010+?).

May 2010 - no Badge.
