How do I replace the hybrid transmission fluid?

2020–2026

If replacement is necessary, contact your Toyota dealer; the listed 4.2 qt. (4.0 L, 3.5 Imp. qt.) capacity is only a reference quantity.

Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS, because another transmission fluid may cause abnormal noise or vibration or ultimately damage the transmission.

How does the vehicle prevent the lights from draining the battery?
