    Why are you worrying before even trying to remove it?

    While that attachment does come from the repair manual, you also find in the repair manual that those "standard" values are only for use when the thing you're tightening does not have a specific torque shown in the part of the manual that's about tightening that thing.

    The specific torques given throughout the manual can take many more factors into account—what materials are being joined, what's between them, what's the purpose of the joint, and so on—than the "standard' charts in the front.

    Noted, HV battery fastener torque values are quite different.

    Use the new one, why would you use anything from the old battery if the new battery has all the parts, just move the electronics.

    Wonder why the battery number is different. I hope dealership won’t make a fuss about returning G9280-47110 as a core. This is the original battery came out. They gave me G9510-47031.

    All done, fuel economy is fluctuating with stop and go, is that normal?

    How are you monitoring this fluctuating fuel economy? Via the consumption screen, the Energy screen, or something else?

    That is not really the screen to use, that shows instantaneous MPG, so of course it will fluctuate as the energy demands change second by second.

    The screen you want is the Consumption screen.

    When you fill the tank up and press the Reset button it will zero the average MPG and the miles driven so in the beginning this will fluctuate too. It usually starts very low and then gets higher and closer to your true average for the current tank as you put the miles on.

    Thanks, I will switch. Is that the screen most people usually have it on all the time?

    I can't speak for everyone, but I actually have the Energy Monitor screen most of the time and occasionally flip to the Consumption screen briefly from time to time to check the average MPG (L/100km in my case). I get more information from the Energy Monitor. But that's just me.
