Moe Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) I have noticed that on several occasion that my car does not shut down when I stop at a light. also it starts up when I'm waiting for the light to turn green, Has this happen to anyone else, and is it normal. Also this Happens even with a fully charged battery.

Robert Iggy Cerami Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yes.. it depends how much charge you have on your battery .. if it is low the engine will engage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Charge has been over half full and it still does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It also will depend if there is something else that requires the engine to be on, one of these I believe is a call for heat for the passenger compartment. I see you are in the Myrtle Beach area but has this happened when it was cooler outside (especially in the early mornings) and your desired inside temperature is higher thus a call for heat?

Moe Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'll have to check on that. Does that also include a/c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew L Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If you bring up the Hybrid Display on the main screen it will tell you why the engine starts. Mine started this morning because I put the defroster on since my windshield was fogging up. R2D2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I believe the A/C is all electric and does not depend on the gas engine directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
