Tips for my new Hybrid

[Derwood]

Aye, I thought you already had it. We’ve had ours for almost a year. The brakes take a bit to get used to, our first hybrid. No deep sleep issues. I got into the fuel conservation mode the first month or so until my wife complained that I drove like an old man.. ok then I’ll drive it like I stole it. No more complaints except slow down

Just got mine today! Brakes ARE a bit sensitive but no real difference between this and my previous gas only vehicles. Absolutely love it and so does my wife!

In case you haven't tried it yet, turn on the Hybrid Coach option from display menu.
It shows which power source is being used (engine/electric/hybrid (both) and it will show you how much of your braking is actually the electric motor / generator charging your battery as the trucklett comes to a stop.

With gentle brake application, you can get 100% of the brake effort to charge your battery rather than using the disc brakes to stop, which also eliminates brake pad wear.

It does take a bit getting used to, but it's a lot of fun to drive once you get the hang of it..
