Guys, Every once in a while, when I go through a carwash, I get that warning about shifting to park. I can’t shift to park while I’m in the tunnel as it rolls the vehicle in neutral. Anyone know how long you actually have before point of no return? Has anyone gone to that point of no return and what were the consequences? HV Battery need replacing? Thanks.
Best solution is to only go into a car wash with a fully charged hyrbid battery. You can force charge your hybrid battery by putting it in drive and with your foot on the brake and emergency brake on you need to floor the gas pedal and the engine will charge the hybrid battery.
Stop going through the car wash, that will resolve that issue. You can always put it is drive, that way the engine will start and charge the battery. Or just make sure you have enough bars before going into the car wash. The hybrid doesn't charge in neutral. And if you're getting that warning just by sitting at the car wash, you may behaving hybrid battery issues. You should easily be able to sit at idle, with the a/c on, and radio, for 10-15 minutes.
