For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-
ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for
equipment not installed on your vehicle.

However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we

from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does

ification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,

tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may
