The world of automotive is one that's always changing. Year after year the landscape shifts and changes shape to accommodate new technological advances, drivers' needs, safety improvements, and so much more. Lately, the talk of the town has been alternative fueling. While it might seem like this new wave has only recently gained steam, alternative fueling has been around for quite some time. Take Toyota back in 1997 for example. The first Clermont Toyota Prius rolled its way onto the streets of the world and changed the fuel efficiency game immensely. Today, the Prius continues to go strong with a plug-in Prime version that carried over to the RAV4. If you're one of the lucky ones to drive either of these vehicles, you've likely been enamored by the EV mode and the lack of gas you're paying for. If you're looking to take full advantage of this feature and other Toyota hybrid features, Toyota of Clermont is here with some essential tips. Take Advantage of Your Clermont Toyota Hybrid's Features EV driving mode on one of the Clermont Toyota Prime vehicles gives drivers the ability to drive without needing to use gasoline for a certain distance. Essentially, it's like having an electric car for a few miles. Super cool! But, if you don't know how to use and maintain this feature fully you could be coming up short on the fuel saving game. Check out these tips! Know Your S**** (Specs, Duh) Driving an EV or a plug-in hybrid comes with different metrics attached to inform you, the driver, of exactly how efficient your new ride is. If you're not sure exactly what MPGe means (it doesn't mean Miles Per Gallon Electricity), let us at Toyota of Clermont explain. MPG is the most common rating given to a vehicle to measure it's fuel consumption over 100 miles of travel. The EPA determines this number by calculating the amount of heat (energy) that's generated by an object at work (the engine). For an internal combustion engine (ICE), it's a standard of 115,000 BTU (British Thermal Units). This metric is translated to determine the amount of electricity an EV must use to produce the same amount of energy. The standard is 33.7 kWh (kilowatt hour). MPGe then tells you how many kWh an EV need travel to travel 100 miles and how that translates to an ICE engine traveling the same distance. Apart from the MPGe, Toyota hybrid Prime vehicles with a specifically rated distance they can travel in EV mode with electricity alone. For the Prius Prime it's 25 miles and the RAV4 Prime is 42. Keep a Charge Going Keeping your devices charged is never a bad idea. Similarly to your smartphone, you should keep your Clermont Toyota hybrid Prime car charged as well. Plug-in hybrids are unique in that only some of the regenerative charging power comes from the engine. The rest comes from the plug-in, like an EV. By keeping your Toyota RAV4 or Prius Prime plugged in and charging when not in use, you'll ensure that your EV driving mode has enough power for you to maximize your gas free potential. You can plug the charger in at your home or by using a quick charger while you're out and about. Time for an Upgrade At Toyota of Clermont we thoroughly believe that the factory equipment that comes standard with every Toyota model is excellent and perfect for your needs. But, some of us are a little more bougie and/or particular than others. Charging your Toyota hybrid plug-in is as easy as, well, plugging it in. Drivers have the option of using the included plug-in charger to get some needed energy. But that route takes about 12 hours before your EV mode can be fully used. To make the process go by faster you can upgrade to a higher output cable for an additional fee. You can also upgrade your outlets at home to level 2 output to increase the amount of provided power.

Are you constantly looking for ways to make your drive time more efficient and less stressful? You're not alone - plenty of drivers are looking for the right hacks to make their time behind the wheel as enjoyable as possible. We've shared them before, but we're back to share a few more... check out Toyota of Clermont's car hacks to make your time in the driver's seat the best that it can be. Seven quick car hacks to make your life easier Hack #1: Use the speed limit to your advantage. Did you know that following the speed limit can actually work to your advantage? Stoplights are designed so that if drivers follow the speed limit, they'll hit as many green lights in a row as possible. Going the speed limit instead of driving recklessly can actually get you to your destination sooner (and without a speeding ticket or worse). Hack #2: Clean your car with slime. Slime - kids love it, parents detest it. But you can put it to use! Use slime to get into the cracks and crevices of your Clermont Toyota and pick up dirt, dust, and debris. Just make sure you get rid of it afterward. Hack #3: Put your mechanical key to use. Have you ever had that moment of panic when your remote key fob won't work? How will you get into your car? Luckily, there's a mechanical key inside the fob. And if you look closely at the door handle, you'll notice that a section of it can be popped off, and you'll find a mechanical lock there. Hack #4: Cool down the interior fast. It gets hot here in Clermont and your car can quickly become unbearable after sitting in the parking lot for a few hours. Cool it off quickly, but don't open all four windows. Instead, create the right airflow to bring the interior temp down by lowering the front two windows for a few minutes, then rolling them back up and blasting the air conditioner. Hack #5: Make your Clermont Toyota easy to locate. Are you guilty of forgetting where you parked? You're not the only one. Make your car easy to locate by making it stand out. You can stick something on the audio antenna, or put something brightly colored in one of the windows. Hack #6: Touch up scratches without breaking the bank. Do you have small scratches in your paint that you don't want to shell out to fix? We get it. Here's a temporary solution - use nail polish. There are so many shades out there that it should be easy to find one that matches you ride. Hack #7: Put a pool noodle to use. They're not just for the pool - they can actually come in handy in preventing you from dinging your car doors. If your garage is a tight squeeze, attach half of a pool noodle to the wall where your car door would hit to avoid dings in both the wall AND your Clermont Toyota. Have questions or need MORE car hacks? Call Toyota of Clermont! We're open seven days a week at (352) 404-7000. You can stop by and see us at 16851 State Road 50, just west of the Florida Turnpike.

Is your car getting up there in terms of age or miles? Regardless of which it is, wear and tear can do a number on it as your car ages. However, it's not hard to keep it in good shape over the duration of its life. Check out these auto service tips from the experts at Toyota of Orlando on how to care for your older car and keep it in top-notch condition. Five auto service tips for your high mileage car Tip #1: Get on a car detailing schedule. We know, we know - we're always on you to detail your car. We do it for a good reason, though. The more often you detail your ride, the newer everything will stay and your vehicle will just LOOK better overall. Washing and waxing the exterior with quality products keeps the paint in good condition; vacuuming and wiping down the interior ensures that your seats and carpet stay like-new for as long as possible. Tip #2: Be mindful of the repairs you're making. If you're going to make a repair on your car, make sure you do your research and thoroughly consider the size and cost of it. It's smart to make small or cosmetic repairs as they come, but if your car is getting up there in mileage and you need something major done, you should consider the cost. If the cost of the repair is more than what the car is worth, you'd be better off using that money as a down payment on a new ride. (Talk to the Vehicle Upgrade team at Toyota of Clermont!) Tip #3: Upgrade your tech. Sick of listening to the radio? Upgrade the audio system in your Clermont Toyota to have your favorite podcasts and playlists at the ready. Consider adding elements like a wireless charger for your phone, a Bluetooth receiver so you can stream calls and tunes from your device, or new speakers for better sound quality. You can do all of this and more without breaking the bank and it will improve your drive time vastly. Tip #4: Ditch the stains. Is your interior looking worse for the wear in terms of stains? Tackle them and get it looking like new again once and for all. You can rent a steam cleaner to get your car seats refreshed, or use a simple solution of vinegar, warm water, and a little dish soap with some elbow grease. You should dry scrub stains first to loosen them, apply the cleaning solution with a sponge or rag, scrub, and let dry. And don't forget to check the headliner for stains, too. Tip #5: Refresh things under the hood. You might also want to freshen things up under the hood. Check your hoses and belts to make sure they're all in good condition - they wear out over time, so if something looks like it's on its way out, replace it. You can also flush your fluids for a fresh start before you refill the reservoirs, as well as give your car battery a good scrubbing. Schedule auto service like oil changes and tire rotations on a routine basis to maximize performance. Schedule these auto services and more at Toyota of Clermont And the best news?

Driving a motor vehicle comes with a great deal of responsibility (was that misquoted?), but we all make mistakes. As people, at one point or another, we'll wind up making a mistake while on the road that could lead to an accident or any other manner of bad event happening. That's where your car insurance policy comes in. In fact, whether you like it or not, it's required by law that you carry a form of vehicle insurance. It's a great way to avoid getting a ticket, but it's so much more than that. Reading user agreements is something that just about no one does and the same applies to your insurance policy. So, that begs the question, do you really know what you're paying for? You may have proof of insurance and that helps you when you get into an accident, but what else does your policy cover? Toyota of Clermont has the skinny on what's in your car insurance policy and how you can better navigate it. Don't Know What's in Your Policy? Find Out! By law it's required that every motorist on the road carry some form of car insurance policy that covers yourself and your Clermont Toyota car. This, by extension, also works to pay for the damages done to another motorist in the event you're found at fault for an accident. Insurance plans can get pretty granular when you iron out the finer details, so here are a few key things you should look for when policy shopping: The Type of Plan You're Buying Being a driver you have several options when it comes to your choice in car insurance policy and each option contains a different aspect of coverage that you may or may not need. For example, Bodily Injury and Personal Property Liability policies cover the medical expenses of the other driver involved in your accident and repair expenses for the other driver's Clermont Toyota vehicle. Collision coverage is used to pay for the damages done to your vehicle or could result in a payout if your vehicle is determined to be a totaled loss. This means that the overall repair expenses far exceed the present value of your vehicle. Comprehensive Clermont car insurance policies cover a wider array of things that may happen to your vehicle. Natural disasters, accidents involving just the one driver, and more are all covered under comprehensive policies. And, being a Clermont resident, you can get deductible-free windshield repairs and replacements. Personal Injury Protection helps cover your injuries as the result of an accident. Essentially, you should make sure to read over the items included in your car insurance policy to make sure you're getting the coverage you need and not paying for things you don't. Payments and Frequency of Payments Your policy should also include an outline of payment options. Insurance policies be paid in annual, bi-annual, and monthly increments depending on what fits your budget/pay cycles. Companies will occasionally offer discounts for premiums paid in full for a year or 6-month increments, but monthly payments are more realistic for most drivers. How is Your Car Insurance Policy Price Calculated? When it comes to Clermont insurance policies, no two are entirely the same. Every person needs/wants different items bundled into their policy and every person's price is calculated differently.

Driving a motor vehicle comes with a great deal of responsibility (was that misquoted?), but we all make mistakes. As people, at one point or another, we'll wind up making a mistake while on the road that could lead to an accident or any other manner of bad event happening. That's where your car insurance policy comes in. In fact, whether you like it or not, it's required by law that you carry a form of vehicle insurance. It's a great way to avoid getting a ticket, but it's so much more than that. Reading user agreements is something that just about no one does and the same applies to your insurance policy. So, that begs the question, do you really know what you're paying for? You may have proof of insurance and that helps you when you get into an accident, but what else does your policy cover? Toyota of Clermont has the skinny on what's in your car insurance policy and how you can better navigate it. Don't Know What's in Your Policy? Find Out! By law it's required that every motorist on the road carry some form of car insurance policy that covers yourself and your Clermont Toyota car. This, by extension, also works to pay for the damages done to another motorist in the event you're found at fault for an accident. Insurance plans can get pretty granular when you iron out the finer details, so here are a few key things you should look for when policy shopping: The Type of Plan You're Buying Being a driver you have several options when it comes to your choice in car insurance policy and each option contains a different aspect of coverage that you may or may not need. For example, Bodily Injury and Personal Property Liability policies cover the medical expenses of the other driver involved in your accident and repair expenses for the other driver's Clermont Toyota vehicle. Collision coverage is used to pay for the damages done to your vehicle or could result in a payout if your vehicle is determined to be a totaled loss. This means that the overall repair expenses far exceed the present value of your vehicle. Comprehensive Clermont car insurance policies cover a wider array of things that may happen to your vehicle. Natural disasters, accidents involving just the one driver, and more are all covered under comprehensive policies. And, being a Clermont resident, you can get deductible-free windshield repairs and replacements. Personal Injury Protection helps cover your injuries as the result of an accident. Essentially, you should make sure to read over the items included in your car insurance policy to make sure you're getting the coverage you need and not paying for things you don't. Payments and Frequency of Payments Your policy should also include an outline of payment options. Insurance policies be paid in annual, bi-annual, and monthly increments depending on what fits your budget/pay cycles. Companies will occasionally offer discounts for premiums paid in full for a year or 6-month increments, but monthly payments are more realistic for most drivers. How is Your Car Insurance Policy Price Calculated? When it comes to Clermont insurance policies, no two are entirely the same. Every person needs/wants different items bundled into their policy and every person's price is calculated differently.
