After doing some research, what I discovered for the hybrid, is Slippery mode will always engage AWD. It never switches to FWD. At the lowest speeds, around 10 - 15 mph, the brakes will engage more aggressively. I assume this is to help prevent the wheels from spinning in slippery conditions...
I've been experimenting with Slippery Mode for that past few days. I think it might better fit my needs for day to day driving in my area.
Are there any reasons or adverse effects that I should be concerned about? Would I be better off to use Eco or Normal modes?
I'm pretty sure that's the intended behavior as a safety feature. My previous vehicle did the same thing. I just keep moving my hands around the steering wheel.
I filled my tank this morning.
42 MTE. Pump clicked off at 13.1 gal. An extra squeeze took it 13.8.
I'm getting an average of 35 mpg and about 450 miles between fill ups.
Way better than my previous 1500 Silverado. 🙂
I recently had mine parked for 10 days while on vacation. All I did was put it in park and left the key on my desk. 10 days later it started up without any issues. Both batteries had acceptable charges. Drove to work and an hour later, I was ready for another vacation.
This is my biggest gripe. Sometimes when I backup, I accidentally spin the dial clockwise, which goes forward. Not good. It would be nice if it had a stop at both ends.
I agree, we should have the option. I was just emphasizing that at some point a new phone won't be compatible with a 20 year old vehicle. Unless some method of backwards compatibility is offered.
I recently installed WeatherTech AlloyCover:
I chose this cover because it's removable and I like the low profile design. I intend to only use it from time to time as needed, not on a daily basis. That being said, I did my research and have accepted the fact that none of them are 100%...
