On the highway I always put it in save battery mode but around town use electric mode as much as possible And plugin whenever we can. Another advantage here in Ontario being able to drive in HOV lanes since the 40e can have a green license plate.

Just a heads up I've got it at our local BMW dealer and I have a nice little laundry list of codes and items they are fixing. BMW apparently did a remote session on the vehicle to verify an "oil pressure instability" code but found the oil pump in good working order. I'm not sure if I should challenge this or not as I've been told the N20's have a revised oil pump and timing chain guides. Also they are replacing a faulty evap sensor (causes the fuel door not to open and it happened a couple times on the trip home). The other potentially big one they had to order was an "auxillary battery" due to low voltage errors. I asked if this was the hybrid battery pack and the advisor wasn't sure and is going to get back to me.

Appreciate it! Iphone quality is still disappointing but I really didn't want to bring my big Canon on the airplane.

Congrats!
I just had the auxiliary battery replaced on mine, such a rip off, now that I know the symptoms I'm doing it myself with that compatible battery they found off that Prius website here. Anyways, it's next to your regular car battery, in the back, under where your car charging cable is stored. My understanding is that one of the things that the battery does in our hybrids is switch the transmission between the gas and electric motors. I believe that battery is also in the gas only X5s. Considered a wear and tear item, at least when I tried to get them to cover it... Last edited by corduroy; 10-01-2020 at 08:41 PM.. |
