As far as I know, the SoC values get reset and the BCM does an immediate recalibration once the 12v terminals are disconnected and reconnected. Any error codes logged by the IMA system also get cleared at this point. I am not sure if disconnecting the 12v causes the usable capacity to be reset to 75%. However, I do know for a fact that you can reset the usable capacity to 75% using an Honda Diagnostic System scanner connected to the OBD2 port. Once it's reset, it may take a several runs of the vehicle for the actual usable capacity value to be determined and normalized by the BCM. Thankfully, the same diagnostic system software would show the number of km run since the last reset. So if you see an old Honda hybrid up for sale with 75% or any high usable capacity value, just check the number of miles since the last IMA reset using a HDS scanner. There is a chance the battery is genuinely good, but there is also the chance of some cock weasel trying to sell a vehicle with a deteriorated battery by hoodwinking the buyer using an IMA reset.

Holy shit the interior looks spotless! What u need to do first is go to RMV (with all documents) and get the forms. Go to RMV first floor car section and talk to the Assistant Commissioner on duty at the time and tell him/her your need. Although the clerks and other minor staff act like typical government employees, the Commissioners are young and educated so they are much better behaved. Be very polite. Unfortunately I can't tell you how the 25-year limit will affect you but an assistant commissioner's signature can override a few things. Remember to dress well. May be wear a tie. You have no idea what ties can achieve in government departments. If its not for the 25-year problem, all you need to do is to fill the forms, get the approval, buy the engine, plug it in, get it weighed and get it reregistered. Oh one more thing. You will need to take a bill of an engine with you so pay a small advance for a spare parts shop to reserve an engine and get a bill before you go. You will be stuck with the 325- number no matter what you do. You might be able to convert it to an EA- number (at a cost) but you will never get your old number back.

As far as I know there is no way to change the language in Premio. That may be due to this model is only manufactured for Japan. I used the google translator app on my mobile phone and use that to translate by holding the phone on top of the Japanese fonts.

I want to tell you guys an important story, but a sad one. There was a good old gentleman in our neighborhood known by the name Uncle Chesley De Silva. He is fairly a nice person except he is abnormally stingy and thinks he can save money by different ways. He had a nice petrol car and he used to drive few miles everyday for his day to day tasks. When his retirement period came, he got some money as his employment benefit. He sold his car and also applied for a small loan and bought a GP1 from a car sales. Probably as unregistered. Uncle Chesley was so concerned in battery and asked the sales guy to give him an inspection report on battery. After the report the inspector's comment was "battery is so good.....:). You can use for 2 years atleast". Uncle Chesley thought he can save a lot of money from this new car and he finally bought the car. While he was driving the car for the first time, he told me "Putha, I bought a "high breed" car and the people are telling that it can save a lot of money. If you run the car too slowly and cause lot of inconveniences to the people behind it can produce money also....?". Then after running for a couple of weeks, I met uncle Chesley again. He was not happy at all. Highly worried. He told there is no money saving as he thought. Also he is getting an "error signal" in the dashboard flashing. Then one day he brought the car to an inspector and the inspector did a battery scan and told Uncle Chesley, you need to put a battery for this and that costs this much. Those days battery price was so high. Since Uncle Chesley was too much stingy and not mentally matured, he was very sad and his pressure went so high.....He immediately got a cardiac arrest and died.....So the moral of the story - Never be too much stingy and never think how much you can save by running a hybrid....?

The Premio as well as the Allion are JDM-Exclusive variants - and usually It's impossible to change language on JDM-Only cars.

What about Hummer, Porche Cayenne or Ferrari....?. You have stated that you are looking for a car for 45M.

There are number of youtube on DSG on what is positive/ negative, how to drive optimally, what not to do avoid damage to cluch Behavior of the unit will also depend on the manufacturer too having experience the Honda and the Porsche Honda is best kept in auto and the peddle shift was a nice decoration where as PDK on the Porsche is a delight to drive in manual You need to be careful if using in heavy stop start traffic to avoid straining the clutch

補機バッテリー= supplementary battery try translator of this link http://carinfo.click/prius/sub-battery-judenbusoku it seems in the Prius, the 2nd battery (in the trunk) is used to supply in car equipment and to initialize the main hybrid System. It gets discharged during long time parking and can be recharged ONLY when the wheels are turning and regenerative braking(not just by idling like normal cars!). You can speed up the battery recovery by driving with the gear lever on the " B" position, it seems.
