Why driving downhill? It's running to keep everything lubed, etc. Any charge generated will go into propulsion or battery charge regardless of grade. Only inefficient thing I can think of doing is sit in the driveway just running EMM.
Engine Maintenance Mode
So I see that the car will notify me when it wants to do an EMM gas burn. My question is can I delay this burn until I know I'll be driving downhill for the 10-15 minutes it will take to run this cycle or should I just put the car in Hold mode for this stretch of my commute after I see this warning?
I figure if the car is going to do this then I want to get the most use of the gas during this burn.
