How long can the Prius sit without driving?
My band is going on tour throughout the U.S. and Canada for about four months. While I have all my affairs in order, I’m worried about my Prius sitting idle for that long. How long can I leave my Prius sitting without driving it?

Toyota Prius
is a great car, yet a fickle mistress. She needs your attention. That said, a Prius can sit for up to four months without being driven. If you’re away longer than that, fire it up to see if it will start. If it does, you’re golden. If it doesn’t, recharge the battery for about 10 minutes, drive for 10 minutes, and you should be golden.
