Replying to: txgeek (Jul 22, 2008 11:47 am) Is it normal for the mpg gauge to drop to 0mpg occasionally when stopped or decelerating? My husband thinks it has to do with the engine running the A/C.   It's indeed normal when stopped. If the engine is running and burning fuel, then you indeed are getting "0" miles per gallon at that moment. And this is an instaneous readout so that is correct.

"   It is NOT normal for decelerating. It is normal when stopped, regardless of if the ICE is running.   Any time you are moving, you are adding miles to the vehicle, and getting SOME kind of positive MPG; low perhaps, but never zero while the vehicle is moving.
#199 of 228 Smart Key - Open all the Door by athma1 Aug 01, 2008 (6:56 am)
Hi   Can anybody let us know how to program the smart key so that when I open the driver seat side, all the four doors get opened?   Presently it is only the driver side opens and manually I need ot open the remaining doors.   Regards   Vai Replies to this message: lzc (Aug 02, 2008 4:51 am) talmy1 (Aug 02, 2008 6:32 am) lzc (Aug 02, 2008 9:59 am)

Replying to: athma1 (Aug 01, 2008 6:56 am) The feature you want is one of several for the remote control and a/c operation that are programmable only by the dealer. My dealer didn't charge for the service, but I've read some do. Replies to this message: talmy1 (Aug 02, 2008 6:32 am) lzc (Aug 02, 2008 9:59 am)

Replying to: lzc (Aug 02, 2008 4:51 am) This feature can actually be changed by the owner and doesn't need the dealer. I don't remember the procedure (I did it the first week we owned the car), but it is in the owners manual so check there.   Edited -- here it is from the manual:   SELECTING DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED WITH ENTRY FUNCTION The unlocking operation has 2 modes. To change the mode, within 1 m (3 ft.) of the vehicle press the lock switch and the alarm, trunk opener or unlock switch simultaneously for five seconds. The “POWER” switch must be turned off. When the mode is changed, the buzzer will sound and an indicator is displayed on the multi−information display as follows:   Replies to this message: lzc (Aug 02, 2008 9:59 am)

Replying to: talmy1 (Aug 02, 2008 6:32 am) You are right. I was thinking the change sought was to reprogam the Smart Key remote, so 1-click would open all doors from a distance.   See Toyota iGuide: http://www.toyotaiguide.com/content/07Camry/iGuide.htm   Under "other features" and then "customizable electronic features," Toyota lists several control settings that the dealer can change.
#203 of 228 2009 Camry Hybrid - No Navi by sttkailua Sep 15, 2008 (11:06 am)
Just got the car 9/10/08!   I am just amazed on how quiet the engine is and how smooth the electric/gas tandem operates.   Thank you all for the tips to maximize mileage.   Looking forward to my first fill-up to check actual MPG!   Looking to hit 40+ MPG.

Replying to: sttkailua (Sep 15, 2008 11:06 am) I just got my new Camry Hybrid on 9/11. Still working on learning how to maximize my fuel efficiency and learning how to use all of the gadgets. I'm generally getting 36-37 MPG (as indicated on the energy consumption display) for my 32 mile commute, but I will be reading this forum for tips on how to improve that and see how it goes.

#205 of 228 "Best MPG" in the Consumption Screen is --.- by twosox Sep 17, 2008 (7:58 am)
Replying to: twosox (Sep 16, 2008 6:22 pm) I have a brand new 2009 TCH that has the navi package and when I'm looking at the Consumption Screen, there is a line at the bottom that has "Best MPG" and "Average MPG," but there is nothing listed under the Best text. Anyone have this issue?   Thanks,   Sox Replies to this message: wvgasguy (Sep 17, 2008 5:50 pm)
