Hi everyone. I took delivery of my first Toyota a couple of weeks ago. It's the 2 l Excel model. I'm already getting 55mpg which is a lot more than the Mercedes I used to run! I'm looking forward to getting to know my car and join in with the chat here. Any tips for a C-HR newbie would be most welcome!
Only tip I can give is when cruising lift off the throttle and lightly press back on hat usually disengages the engine and you can run on electric for a while
Sorry for using this thread, but I guess that this is something that is relevant to all new owners.
I am waiting for my 2.0l CHR delivery from day-to-day now (had delivery date 16.03 and due to COVID it might take some more days).
I was wondering what would be the ideal way to perform your break in period for the car.
I am asking this because I don't know if Atkinson engines require the same approach (in theory at least) as the Otto ones i.e. start with a few miles on specific rpms and then increase rpms every 500km until you reach ~2,500 KMs. (I am using KMs instead of Miles because i am Greek)
Maybe this is too much too ask. A simple approach saying that you don't have to go heavy on it from scratch may suffice.
Anyways thanks in advance for the response.

From the 2017 manual
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:
●For the first 300 km (200 miles): Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles): Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

Yes, what phone are you using to connect? AA was already installed on mine Samsung S20, i just bought a USB A male to USB C female adaptor plugged it in and it was there.
Thanks for every one's advice it's sorted now thanks guys sorry I am finding it difficult useing my sat nav I needed to be some where the others day so used sat nav typed post code where I wanted to go searched but didn't find any results tried again after putting ST3 in I noticed it picked up then next number I was about to put in so I press enter and it found what I thought was my destination but sadly it wasn't it took me to the rite are but I was a mile or 2 away from where I need to be can any body help please
I'm sorry, but I failed to understand your problem. I get it that you're searching for a post code, navigation can find it. And you're using some "trick" and it puts you somewhere else.
What navigation are you using? Built-in? Google Maps? Apple Maps? Waze?
If you're searching for the same post code on your phone, let's say on Google Maps, it finds the right address?
We are collecting our new 2 litre Orange Edition next Wednesday. We are very excited. Currently, we have 1.8 Excel. We had a test drive in the 2 litre CHR last week. How do you use that S+/S- gears? It seems to be that the 2litre engine has this S+/S- gears.

You move the lever to the right and can then move it backwards and forwards to change up / down "virtually". I use this feature going down steep hills to give "engine" braking, but otherwise just leave it in D.

Thank you, I'll give it a go. The brake gear is really usefull.
