Break in period

First 200 miles are for the engine and brake pads, the remaining miles are just for the engine.

In your particular case, I would probably spend extra time in HV mode to build up the ICE miles prior to your cross country trip. Personally, I'd do my first oil change prior to the trip no matter how many miles you have at the time, but there are definitely arguments for and against that. (Mostly down to whether you believe a break-in oil change is useful or wasteful on a modern Toyota engine.)

 

I would bite the bullet and get the 600 miles out of the way on the engine so you don’t forget. It’s only one tank of gas

 

Dealer said there was no break in period for my phev.

So I've gone on a 1400 km trip (mostly high speed highway on ICE) after just 600 km....90% electric though....

Do I have to expect early ice wear?

Damn....dealer!

 

You believed the dealer?! When their lips are moving...you know the rest

 

I'm thinking about going there and ask them for an explanation.

 

I would try reading the owners manual and see what information is there. The dealer wants to sell and service cars. To do that, they will tell you what they think you want to hear.

 

Manual says a break in period is required...

 

I'd never go there again.
For ANYTHING.
EVER.

If they're not lying?
They're incompetent.

Neither needs an explanation, and really?
Would you, SHOULD you believe them?

 

I Need to go there to get my second key... whenever it's delivered....and I will ask them why they stated that...grrrr

 

I'm going to claim a free oil change!

 

Most likely not, I wouldn't worry about it, but now you know.
Those speeds you ran up and back from the Alps are now firmly in place in the cars history data and all that implies and or doesn't really make all that much difference, depending on the owners / your preferences.

 

You can deal with Any Toyota dealer for the 2nd key. Igot mine from a dealer closer to me than the selling dealer.

 

I would not have left with only one fob to begin with.
They either would have 'found' another fob' or somebody else would have gotten a new G5.

If they cannot source fobs, what other supply issues might the dealership be encountering??
What if something else breaks on the car?
What if you lose your ONE fob?

Hard pass.

I tried for 3 months to buy a Toyota, but fortunately my 30+ year boycott of that company was saved by the SE Toyota group.
In addition to being over-priced to begin with their sales department was a little too 'oily' for me personally.
Dealerships are like politicians or spouses.
There ARE no 'little lies.'

After casting a 1000 mile net, I decided to get a domestic and hope that it is as reliable as its last 5 out of 6 predecessors.

 

They made me sign a kind a paper stating that i allow them to sell the car with only one electronic key and a mechanical one, and, when the second electronic key is avaialble, they will call me to collect it. In the meanwhile, if i lose the only electronici key i have, they will pay for the electronic system resetting.

 

Sorry, i don't undestrand what you mean....

 

change your oil if you're worried about it. Curse your dealer if you think it'll do any good or change their behavior.
You took a longish trip when the car was new, nothing unusual, but you might not have taken that trip in the new car if you'd known about the breakin period.
Are you asking what you can do to change how you car was broken in? I took a long trip when my Prime was new too. Cest La Vie, I wouldn't have driven it the way I did on that first long trip either, if I'd kown a bit more about the car before I took that trip.

 

When i had my brand new Civic Si in 2012, it got broken in on a racetrack the day it was delivered to me. True Story! Not that it even bothered.. at a bit over 350k km, it finally got tuned and gave about 205whp (180whp with a couple of bolt ons before the tune)Now, at a bit less then 500k km, the K24 maybe runs thru a cup of oil every 15k km.. maybe even less..

I'm older now so of course i didn't do that to the Prius but that little story was only to tell you to drive the thing normally during breaking in.. However, i'm a fan of changing the oil early after 1000km or so...
