#313 of 558 Re: fuel consumption indicator [zerrylady] by jjyang Aug 12, 2007 (7:40 am)
Replying to: zerrylady (Aug 12, 2007 5:33 am) I see this too and often at the start of a trip when engine is still not fully warmed up. From what I have read, not only does engine temp needs to be at optimal level, so does battery temp, and other fluids. If so, there is nothing much to be done except wait. I will typically try to drive at about 45 mph to engage the engine optimally and then let go of the accelator until the speed comes down to about 40-42, then hold it steady. Hope that helps.

Replying to: newcars (Aug 09, 2007 8:29 am) Thanks. I have been paying more attention to it and it doesn't tend to happen once the car is warmed up. I have noticed the same as you with the A/C. Our temperatures have been up and down lately and mileage is way better when A/C is off (even not in ECO mode).

Replying to: ss001 (Jul 30, 2007 2:36 pm) I've had my TCH for 11 months and love it. You will learn that the ICE will turn off and on to warm up the catalytic converter or to charge the battery (indicator drops to 0), even if you're parked. Drop worry about it, just enjoy the ride and let the computer do the work. It runs best when you keep it under 70mph. Replies to this message: ss001 (Aug 19, 2007 5:10 am)

Replying to: alfroio (Aug 12, 2007 2:46 pm) Still on my first tank of gas so I'm still learning. I think I'm too fixated with all of the indicators! I discovered (by accident) that when I'm stopped, if I take my foot off the brake and inch forward very slightly the car switches to ICE.

#318 of 558 Camry Hybrid Battery Fumes by len17 Sep 30, 2007 (1:25 pm)
I've read where some Camry Hybrid owners complain about fumes which come through the vents behind the rear seats into the cabin.   Has anyone else noticed fumes or any emissions/odors from the battery inside the trunk?   My wife is chemically sensitive - and she observed that our new Camry Hybrid has more harsh odors than other new Toyotas we've purchased.

Replying to: len17 (Sep 30, 2007 1:25 pm) That's the first I've read of this. I've had mine for 32000 miles and have not noticed that.

Replying to: len17 (Sep 30, 2007 1:25 pm) Never heard of this, but keeping the climate control on fresh air (Recirc off) should eliminate any problem. Those vents are to let interior air flow over the battery for cooling. There is a fan as well back there, but it will exhaust the air, not blow in through the vents.

Replying to: len17 (Sep 30, 2007 1:25 pm) My TCH has almost 3500 miles and I've noticed nothing like you describe (thank goodness!). Has your dealer been of any help?
#322 of 558 Toyota maint. schedule!! by mrrk47 Oct 02, 2007 (2:59 pm)
I have a 2007 TCH with NO NAV, NO LTHR, NO SUNROOF, and it's still a great car. I love it. I'm pricing the 15,000 service and all 3 dealers I called are in the 240 to 330 range. Do you have to adhere strictly to the maint. schedule.....The car is expensive as it is(there is at least one guy on this forum that will say"if you couldn't afford the upkeep, why'd you buy the car?" ) I can afford the 80 dollar service which includes checking and topping fluids, rotation, oil/filter.....I know that there may warranty issues in the future that may depend on either the car was serviced per Toyota.......
