- The brochure says the car is XM/Sirius capable, but a footnote adds that it needs a receiver. What exactly does this mean? Do I purchase an XM or Sirius specific receiver that mounts in the dash or somewhere else?<<
- I've seen a picture with a display that shows the engine, batteries, electric motor, etc. It shows how energy is flowing (e.g. engine powering wheels, electric motor powering wheels, etc.) Is this display only available with the DVD nav system or is it on all TCHs?<<
Thanks in advance for all answers. |
Don't have the answer to the first question but can answer for the rest.
2. ECO Mode on the AC uses the electric motor instead of the gas when you have your AC on. The temperature gauge has to be set on anything thing higher than the "LO" setting. I set mine at 75 and it definitely keeps every one inside the car cool. This mode is suppose to keep the gas motor specific to running the car.
3. That is an option in which you need to purchase a subcription to XM or Sirius and also a tuner box unit like this one:

So you can utilize your existing OEM Audio unit.
4. That display feature is only available for TCH's with DVD NAVIGATION but also the low res version is displayed near the speedometer.
