My car is one week old. Going back to the subject of drained batteries if car is not put to "P". I cannot get the key out unless I press the Power button. When I press the power button the gears switch goes into "P" position. Overall it must mean that the "P" gear problem is effectively solved unless you leave your keys in the car...

Replying to: magelan (Sep 18, 2006 8:35 am) We're a bit confused. The only "key" that the Camry Hybrid has is a little bitty stick of metal that's used to open the driver's door and/or trunk in the event the SmartKey fob fails. There is no physical keyhole or key-socket inside the car anywhere. No physical key is used to start the car or to turn it off, just the Power button. Thus many Camry Hybrid drivers DO stick the car "key" (i.e., the SmartKey fob) into their pocket to drive. I keep mine in my purse and never have to take it out. |

Replying to: magelan (Sep 18, 2006 8:35 am) I started to ask the same question. Now that you've answered it I still don't know what you're saying Oh, come on! I would not stick the car key into my pocket to drive! Uhh, that's where I keep mine when I'm driving.

It happened to me too, today : Left the car at a parking lot, the parking attendant told me he knew how to handle a hybrid. I was back within 2 hours, to find the traction battery almost depleted. I guess the attendant pushed the POWER button before shifting into PARK. From now on, I will keep printed instructions in the glove box, to put them on the instrument lens when I leave the car, and I will also make sure the radio is ON (it stays ON if you push the POWER button before shifting to PARK). |
