billford Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Has anyone tried driving in reverse for maybe a mile? For instance, your driving down a road and find the road closed at the end, you can't turn around so you have to reverse your way out. From what I understand, the engine will not run while driving in reverse, so the high voltage battery cannot be charged. And if the high voltage battery is dead, the gas engine will not start. I'm just wondering if any warning lights come on. Or maybe the driver should monitor the battery charge gauge and if it goes low, shift it into park to allow the engine to start and recharge the high voltage battery, then continue reversing your way out. I've never tried this, but maybe someone has... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
