Keep the battery cooling fan clean
The most important maintenance task for a hybrid is ensuring the battery's air intake and fan are free of dust and pet hair. This is critical in Phoenix.
Use your A/C to cool the pack
The hybrid battery uses cabin air for cooling. Running the A/C not only keeps you comfortable but also protects the battery from overheating.
Avoid deep discharges
Try to keep your battery state-of-charge between 40% and 80%. Avoid leaving your hybrid parked for weeks at a time, especially in the sun.
