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?
Well it mainly bothered me when stuck in traffic and it charging itself every minute, meaning more fuel being used than it already is.
Apart from that, my way from home is just a very long down hill so in theory I could just charge it by just motor breaking. Just trying to find out if possible or not :)
