What is the most sensible way to shut down a 2008 Camry Hybrid (Canadian version)? ?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

I usually place it in “P”, apply the parking brake, exit the car and lock it. However, do I need to press the “power” button to shut down properly? It uses a “Smart Key System”, which is an advanced computerized system that uses sensors to automatically unlock the doors and... Read More

  • You need to press the power button to shut off the car. If the car is left "on" in IG/ON or ACC mode, you will run down the car's 12V "boot-up" battery. Not good. If you left the car "on" in READY mode, it will run the HV battery down and cause the gasoline engine to turn on and recharge it. It wastes gas. You should... Read More
  • Without pressing the "Power" button, the car will stay on until it runs out of gasoline. The Smart Key System does know that the key has left the car, but all it'll do is beep loudly at you complaining that the key has left and the car is on.

Other Choices:

The Altima Hybrid, which also has a full-hybrid system, has mileage and overall performance that's very similar to those of the Camry Hybrid, but the Camry's interior is a little roomier. The luxurious, diesel-powered Mercedes E320 Bluetec seems like an unlikely competitor, but it also attracts buyers who want to decrease their petroleum use, and it gets 32 mpg on the highway. To its credit, the E320 Bluetec rides, handles, and accelerates just about as well as the gasoline E350, but it's more than twice the price of the Camry Hybrid. Or if you'd like a full-hybrid powertrain in a compact SUV, there's the Ford Escape Hybrid, which is rated at 34 mpg city, 30 mpg highway. Finally, if you don't need all the space of the Camry and don't mind a hatchback, you might as well go for the much more fuel-efficient Prius, which gets 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway.
