Rx400h And Smoke Check

[hthybrid1]

Hi All,

It's still years away but I wonder do we have to take to Lexus service for smog check or any smog station?. How they do smog check when engine shut down any time? Do they have the way to keep the engine running all time? It's would be nice if I can make this manual switch to keep engine running when I wanted.

I think you mean smog check, but that's a good question. Hopefully, it is exempt. Maybe SW can answer this one since he has a Prius.

Sorry for miss spell. I don't know how to fix the topic line.

In Colorado at least, both the Prius and the RX400h are permanently exempt from Smog checks - there's a special State of CO sticker on the windshield applied by the dealership that indicates this.
