FYI I owned the sonata hybrid, returned it after a week and came back home to lexus. Already happier but I do have some questions. After driving home from the dealer (45 minutes stop and go freeway) mpg was only 18. After a couple of short drives I am up to 19.9. What gives? Do you need to go through a tank for it to settle in? Also my average miles per gallon on my navi screen has a few dashes, no number .

I had to manually change the nav screen from day to night. Where is the auto for this?

Which package has the memory seats? I got the premiere package ( nav, leather, back up camera, heated seats) but no memory seats. Lastly, how do you cool the seats instead of heat g them? Thanks for your help!

 

For your mpg, check to make sure the car is in "eco" mode. Also if you are not experienced in driving a hybrid, there is a learning curve to getting optimum mpg.

As far as I know the HS has a base and premium models only and the memory seat (driver side) comes standard only w/ the latter. You referred to your car as having a premiere package which I am unfamiliar with and may not be the same as a premium model.

To cool the seats (premium model only) you just turn the temp. adjusting wheels (one for driver and one for passenger front seats) in the appropriate direction to cool or heat. IIRC, turning clockwise (blue) cools the seats. I believe your a/c must be on and temp set low enough to get the cold air circulating in the seat. The directions for this are in your owners manual.

The navigation display manual should help you out w/ setting up the nav.

Hope this helps and welcome to the HS forum.
