Wrong again. Here's an excerpt from the 2013 owner's manual:

■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency (P. 347, 359). To improve air conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode

wow sorry, i did not mean for this to spark up an argument that it seems it has.


I am confused one thing I notice is every time I turn my car on the ac is always set at the high max level of
I never drive with it on recirculation and I did find a setting in the nave screen settings that have to do with this feature but I changed it so that it would not come on high recirculation auto every time and then I noticed that it would start to blow warmer if I didn't have it set to that auto feature is this normal ?
I ended up putting it back on the auto high recirculation feature so that it would blow AC and I would not have to make sure it was on ac. could this have to do with I always drive on Eco mode? I do see and feel the differences in throttle response from the Eco and Sport mode
not sure about normal mode I don't see or feel much differnt in that

i bought it with 37,400 miles on it i drove it form south florida back to Salt lake city utah now it has 41,007 miles on it its been parked in my driveway for one week not driven becuase i had surgery last week and need to wiat to drive a bit longer and its killing me seeing it out there not able to drive so i drove just under 4000 miles and gas cost me like .06 cents per mile to drive wow i know i have saved about 200 in gas over 4000 miles almost and thats what i drive each month usually with my uber driving so im happy as can be but killing me that i cant drive it for a little bit longer due to recovering from surgery

still confused about a few things like
so is the engine hybrid or electric and fuel r just fuel and then the converter and generator system
like hat components fall under the 100k hybrid warranty and what fall under the 80k warranty like thats confusing when i was reading the owners manual i thought all the hybrid components where part of the 100k warranty but some say its not is that because some only fall under the federal emissions warranty?
like what is it exactly that runs the car in electric mode or hybrid mode is the inverter with converter the electric motor ? and the hybrid batter just is what charges it or what exactly is it thats a bit confusing like i know the 2.5 4 cynlinder engine is the gas but is the inverter and converter what powers the car when the gas engine is not on ?
