“My car is a 2004 prius purchased august 2004. On april 18, I had been driving for about 15 minutes, then stopped at a stop sign. Upon resuming driving, a warning light (triangle/exclamation mark) and the hybrid system warning light (exclamation mark over a car) came on. There was no warning sound. Initially, the car still ran, so I continued at low speed (<30mph) and had my passenger look up what to do.
