Why you need to have engoline running for more that 20min?:/ just curious.

 

I go to all-day dog events and need to have them safe in the car in between their turns to practice.

 

CAR CAMPING or DRIVE-IN MOVIE how to (hybrid owners)

Dat useful content during quarantine, how's your Friday? One of my favourite things to do in the summer are drive-in movies (still a few in Ontario) with the family and can't wait to go again when the quarantine is over. I stumbled on a thread in the gen4.4 hybrid sub, but it didn't flesh the...

Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for!

 

Pretty sure that's a user-adjustable setting. Not sure if you need Carista or Techstream to change it. Consulting the manual is a good place to start, look in the customization section.

 

The hybrid system will automatically shut off after 1 hour if left in park. To disable auto-off, lock the doors with the interior lock button (not the remote) or lock the doors with the physical key from the outside.

This is correct, it's in the owners manual.

 

My wife will sometimes inadvertently leave the engine running on our 2020 RAV4 when she exits the car. She keeps the fob in her purse, so starting the car isn't an issue for her, but it stays with her in her purse when she gets out. Instead of rummaging in the purse for the fob, she'll lock the car by pressing the interior lock button, close the door, and walk away. If I understand this thread correctly, it seems that this action will disable the auto shutoff feature, right? If so, this doesn't help me. I'd rather the auto shutoff feature always be operable. Is there a way to do this? By the way, will locking the car with the exterior button on top of the door handle leave the feature enabled, or will it, too, disable the auto shutoff? Thanks. Rich

 

You should be fine because she is locking the car with the driver’s door open, which re-enables the auto shutoff. If she were to push the interior door lock button from the inside and then crawl out the window without opening the door, the auto shutoff would be disabled and the car would stay on until you shut it off. It is unclear to me if exiting from the passenger door has the same result (the manual only mentions the driver’s door).
The auto shutoff will also remain on if you lock it using the exterior button on the handle (but if you have this feature, why doesn’t she use this instead of locking with the interior buttons and then getting out anyway?).
Also, if you shut any door with the key fob outside the vehicle when it is still on, the car will loudly beep 8 times at you (at least that is the case for my 2020 XSE). So that’s a fairly hard to miss clue that you’ve left the vehicle on.

 

If you leave your car on overnight with the AC on, which battery powers the electric AC?

 

Traction battery powers AC and charges auxiliary battery as required. ICE will run occasionally to charge traction battery.
