If this continues for a few days, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■ Sounds and vibrations specific
to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sound or
vibration even though the vehicle is
able to move with the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated. For safety, apply
the parking brake and make sure to
shift the shift lever to P when
parked.
The following sounds or vibrations

is operating and are not a malfunc-
tion:
● Motor sounds may be heard from
the engine compartment.
● Sounds may be heard from the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
under the rear seats when the
hybrid system starts or stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a
snap or soft clank will be emitted
from the hybrid battery (traction
battery), under the rear seats,
when the hybrid system is started
or stopped.
● Sounds from the hybrid system
may be heard when the back door
is open.
● Sounds may be heard from the
transmission when the gasoline
engine starts or stops, when driv-
ing at low speeds, or during idling.
● Engine sounds may be heard
when accelerating sharply.
● Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the
brake pedal is depressed or as
the accelerator pedal is released.
● Vibration may be felt when the
gasoline engine starts or stops.
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from the air intake vents under the
rear seats.
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling,

Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling
and disposal. Do not dispose of the
vehicle yourself.
When driving with the gasoline
engine stopped, a sound, which
changes in accordance with the
driving speed, will be played in
order to warn people nearby of
the vehicle’s approach. The
sound will stop when the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately
22 mph (35 km/h).
■ Acoustic vehicle alerting sys-
tem
In the following cases, the acoustic
vehicle alerting system may be diffi-
cult for surrounding people to hear.
● In very noisy areas
● In the wind or the rain
Also, as the acoustic vehicle alerting
system is installed on the front of the
vehicle, it may be more difficult to
hear from the rear of the vehicle
compared to the front.
