Accidently Drove In Low Gear
Hello all. Quick question. I believe I drove at high speeds with the trans in L. Will this cause problems? Reasons why or why not?

There is no "low" gear in the eCVT. No harm. Fuel efficiency may have sufferred.

Re: Accidently Drove In Low Gear
I accidentally drive in L all the time. The computer that controls the eCVT is smart enough to realize what's going on. In your '08, you should have noticed more regen (feels like a downshift and engine braking if you were in an ICE only vehicle) than normal when you let off the GO pedal but otherwise a normal driving experience.
No harm, no foul. |

Have fun with your friends sometime by speeding down the highway and throwing your transmission in reverse! Nothing will happen. This will show you that the FEH's eCVT is not really geared like a conventional transmission.

Driving in low only affects the engine braking while decelerating. There is no other effect.
Life is good, drive on! |
