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?
No you cant turn it off but you can drive in a way to prevent it from coming on. I try to run the just batteries in the scenario you described with it 2 bars from full in stop and go traffic. The engine is coming on because of something you are doing to trigger the engine to start.
