    Hard to put it all in a title. I have 149K miles on our 2009. The warranty expires in 1000 miles. I've noticed recently that I can no longer engage the ev mode with the ev mod. I always get a "cannot change into eve mode" message on the MFD. It used to be that I could do it before the engine started or after all warm up cycles were complete.

    Now, when first powering on, ev mode won't engage before engine start and there is no MFD message.

    After warm up is complete, the message appears on the MFD whenever I try to change to EV mode.

    Any ideas or thoughts?

    on mine car, you can only going into EV mode if you are drive 25 or less miles and if the battery shows more than 2 notches. Not sure with the 2009
