Is there any problem for TCH's hybrid system to be in car wash where they put car in "neutral" and it goes on a conveyor?

I use a car wash like that once a month or so with no problems...

I do put the A/C System on Recycle while having all my cars washed to minimize the chance of any water getting in to the system....

I was at the car wash last week. My battery was low, and when it was in neutral, I got a "low battery" warning on my nav screen. It also stated "Please put the car in park to charge the battery". When I put the car in drive at the end of the car wash, the screen disappeared. I haven't had a problem since then. I use the car wash about once a week.

Hi !
same things .

and here what i learned,
the hybrid battery is not recharged when in neutral so
: go to the car wash with a hot engine
: with blue bars on battery
: stop the light
: no A/C , radio etc...

and maybe the engine will not run the time of the wash !!!!

You certainly don't want fresh air coming in -- the water spray can mess up the cabin air filter. I always turn off the climate control. This also saves the battery so it won't run down during the wash.

There shouldn't be any concern about the hybrid system being on the conveyor. It's no different than the car being in neutral and rolling down a hill for a few feet, just that the push comes from the conveyor mechanism rather than gravity.
