Good grief. That error has been in the manual for at least two years now.
I was told the language applies to the Canadian version of the Prius. I had
the same issue with my 2005. You would think they would have their act
together by now. If your headlights produce a whiter light, they are HID.
Glad you like your Prius. I sure do enjoy mine.

If you see oncoming vehicles veering off the road with their drivers
screaming "Agggh... My eyes ! My eyes !" then you know you've got HID
headlights.

That feature is only on Canadian models. You do have HID headlights,
though.

You don't have to. Just use the auto-off headlights (and remember to
open the driver's door at the appropriate time).

What's the difference between "automatic headlights" and "auto-off
headlights"??

Automatic headlights is a feature on the Prius sold in Canada; it will
turn the headlights on and off (and maybe switch between low and high
beams too; I'm not sure about that) depending upon light conditions.

Auto-off headlights will automatically turn the headlights off if the
driver's door is opened while the car is turned off. You have to follow
that sequence exactly, though: turn the car off, then open the door.
If you open the door first and then turn the car off, the headlights
will remain on.

However, auto-off does use a bit of electric power, so if you're going
to leave the car parked for an extended period of time, turn the
headlight switch to off.
