When trouble arises
Fluid leaks under the vehicle
(Water dripping from the air
conditioning after use is nor-
mal.)
Flat-looking tires or uneven
tire wear
High coolant temperature
warning light flashes or

Changes in exhaust sound
Excessive tire squeal when
cornering
Strange noises related to the
suspension system
Pinging or other noises
related to the hybrid system
Engine missing, stumbling or
running roughly
Appreciable loss of power
Vehicle pulls heavily to one
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
■ While towing
● When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on
the towing eyelets, cables or
chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become
damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious dam-
age.
● Do not turn the power switch off.
This may lead to an accident as
the front wheels will be locked by
the parking lock.
■ Installing towing eyelets to
the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may
come loose during towing.
■ To prevent damage to the
vehicle during emergency
towing
Do not secure cables or chains to
the suspension components.

lowing symptoms, your

tact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
