Separate names with a comma.
The energy monitor is just a dumbed down cartoon representation of what's going on. Hybrid Assistant shows much more detail (actual power levels...
Often while the engine is warming up it's just idling, so it's not charging the battery. So no power flow is shown on the energy monitor screen....
It sounds like the engine isn't coming on for you. If it does, it will stay on for a while until it warms up. It's most likely to happen when the...
It doesn't have friction plates like a traditional automatic transmission. Just planetary gears (and some kind of one way clutch for the engine)....
The transmission is spinning no matter what. It has very few moving parts, and it should never wear out.
Some Chargepoint charger are like that. There's one I used to use at work that would randomly reduce the charging rate. I thought it was something...
The heat pump runs to provide heat whether or not the AC light is on. I'm not sure if heat from the electronics is used to heat the cabin, but I...
For the Prime that would probably be the Premier A/S. But they appear to be a bad value compared to the longer lasting Defender, unless they are...
Here's a tip: a bottle of Toyota coolant is not cheap. If you change it and end up using all the new coolant you bought, save some of the old...
The 4runner has been using a similar system since 2003 (and it probably wasn't the first). I'm guessing the electric pump allows more brake...
The whole section of the manual is well worth reading. Another interesting page: [ATTACH] Maybe PiPLosAngeles' false alarm was caused by a...
The second post in the "related thread" the forum suggests has a page from the manual with many situations where they say you should disable PCS....
These are reasons why I have a dash cam. Here's a page from the manual about data recording: [ATTACH]
This is starting to sound more like regular batteries... But it might still be worthwhile if the energy density is better.
I hate these ethical "dilemmas" when it comes to new technology in cars. Neither the car nor Toyota nor Congress is "deciding" to kill you. It's...
Is there any way to store hydrogen in a more easily contained form? For example dissolve it in water (like a carbonated drink) or put it in...
I was rear-ended once, and I think that triggered the automatic emergency braking since it pushed me towards the stopped car in front of me....
It's probably the brake booster. Pump the brakes a couple times while stopped/parked and that will probably trigger it. There's also a periodic...
How about methane fuel cells? Finally, a robust fuel cell that runs on methane at practical temperatures -- ScienceDaily I wonder if that would...
Some EVs are really good at estimating remaining range based on driving conditions, heat/ AC usage, etc. I think the Chevy Bolt is a good example....
