I had a mouse house too in my Prius but she pulled kleenex out of a box on my front seat and went to the outer part of the air exchange and piled it up to the extent that it caused such a drag on the blower motor that it burned it out! I finally figured out there was a mouse living in my car and caught it with a mouse trap. I could not figure out why when I got into the car there were small shreds of kleenex all over passenger seat and floor! Now I know! Those mice are destructive little beggars!

@camgere 4 года назад

I park my 2012 PriusV outside during the day in a somewhat rural area. The dealer tells me I have mice in the cabin air filter nearly every 5,000 miles. I'm not sure how they get to the cabin air filter. There don't seem to be any holes larger than a medium nail head (various screens).

@wildcathillsnaturalist9228 3 года назад

Helpful video. It isn't always necessary to replace (= throw into landfill) your air cabin filter. Gently clean with warm water and soft brush, or vacuum it with a wand vacuum attachment. Be careful not to damage (tear) the filter, since then you will need to replace it. But you can reuse a time or two without issues. If your Prius AC seems to be not performing as well as it once did, this should always be your first step. My original filter was so clogged (based on the fine silt/dust of the rural roads I often drive) that the AC set to max was barely sufficient. After cleaning, only 2 'bars' of AC power was all I needed. 2012 Plug in Prius 102k miles.

I have a 2005 Prius that has been getting about 33 mpg for at least 3 years. The hybrid battery finally died and I had it replaced. Now it's getting about 35 mpg.

@josephdebes3060 3 года назад

Check your hybrid battery air filter and intake vent in the back seat area. Odds are it has never had the grill popped off and the air filter changed and the fan blades vacuumed out. The fan sucks in carpet and seat fabric as well as animal hair. Eventually clogs the fan so much it stops working Then your very expensive ($3000) hybrid battery overheats and fails. Should vacuum and clean off the filter at least annually (dealer will be happy to replace the $30 filter and vacuum for you for $100-120). Multiple RU-vid blogs on how to do it based on model. Your mileage should improve, and your hybrid battery should be lasting 180k-200k + if you take care of it. You can buy extra fan filters on line for about $30…cheap insurance
