Approximately five hours after
the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear sound coming
from under the vehicle for sev-
eral minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and it does not indicate a
malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine
spare parts and accessories for
Toyota vehicles are currently
available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their per-
formance, repair, or replace-
ment, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect
they may have on, your Toyota
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modi-
fied with non-genuine Toyota
products. Modification with non-
genuine Toyota products could
affect its performance, safety or
durability, and may even violate
governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from
the modification may not be cov-
ered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will
have an effect on advanced
safety equipment such as Toy-
ota Safety Sense 2.5 and there
is a danger that it will not work
