I was worried about how to warm up my engine with my hybrid I got the answer now. Many thanks I will try that on my brand new CHR that I will receive next week.
Awesome video! Every hybrid engine car owner needs to know it. I assume engine only stays on for a minute when outside temperature is warm enough. How long do you think engine stays on if the outside was freezing temperatures and lets say you start the car first time? Thanks for the video
Thank you, it may take a bit longer but I let it warm up till the engine shuts off and continue driving it lightly pressing the accelerator. Been doing it nearly two years and the car runs as smooth as it did when I drove it out of the dealership brand new.
Driving it straight away at cold does more damage over time. In the Hybrid Kluger by tapping the accelerator the engine kicks in and a minute in it turns off as the temperature has risen.
I doubt it increases wear, as at low speed car is driven by electric motor and engine is working at low RPM heating up and providing power to that electric motor under low load. So you’re driving and heating up at the same time not wasting energy (unless you floor it , that would be harmful of course). At least that’s how it works in my Toyota Hybrid.
@@aft-fishing90it's more efficient because you start off when it's warmer... but it doesn't take into account all the gas you burned from sitting waiting for it to warm up. Might as well drive it gently and let everything circulate and make progress at the same time.

And why would you do that….? Warming engine while stationary is wasting energy, you could move and warm the engine at the same time.

@@dempsej You are correct 👍 Just drive carefully so the engine doesn't have to rev high and let the MG2 do its job until the engine warms up.
Since I’ve started doing this I’ve noticed the car drives better and it’s abut more fuel economical . That’s what I’ve noticed on my car though.
