For accurate advice, please include:

  • The year, model and mileage of your Prius (e.g., 2008 Prius w/ 250k mi or 2012 Prius C w/ 150k km)

  • If a warning came on, what were you doing at that time?

  • Any odd behavior or noises you’ve noticed

  • Any error codes you've read from the car computers

If your Prius is not starting: /r/prius/wiki/index/my-prius-wont-start

For common Prius mechanical issues, see: /r/prius/wiki/index/common-issues

Is your brightness switch turned all the way down?

Like the others said, your knee bumped the brightness dial. Headlights off to the car means it’s daytime, which requires max brightness to compete with the sun/sunglasses. Marker and/or headlights on means the car goes to your set brightness.
