Hi, this might be a stupid question but it’s come to a point where it’s just unnecessary and it reached an extremely annoying point where I’ve been stuck in slow moving traffic where it constantly starts charging, using up more fuel than needed.
I drive a Yaris Y20 and I live somewhere that’s very uphill and close to a motorway.
The engine charging the hybrid battery is completely unnecessary since I’m mostly just using the engine break and then going up to a motorway.
Is there a way to either limit the engine charging to hybrid battery or to just turn off that specific function?
Is it just turning on, on its own or is it when you press the gas? I know in mine even if the battery is charged you can only press the gas a little before the engine kicks on. Can’t think of any other reason why it would do that.
