Never do THIS to your Toyota Hybrid New edition!

- Through my experience as a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician, these are 5 things that I see hybrid owners do to their hybrid cars that you should never do.
Please Don't do this to your Toyota Hybrid. I discuss 5 things you should not do to your Toyota hybrid or any hybrid model in general. I also explain why you shouldn't do them in detail.
First issue is Don't spill large amounts of water over the back seat or over the area where the hybrid battery is
Second issue is Don't leave the fuel door on your Toyota hybrid open for more than 30 minutes before refueling.
Third issue is Don't use B-Mode or engine braking in your Toyota hybrid when not needed. It not only decreases your gas mileage but it also puts stress on the hybrid system.
Fourth issue is Never overfill your Toyota hybrid with engine oil. This goes for every car but for hybrids it's worse as they tend to pool the oil in the intake.
Fifth issue is Never jump start another non hybrid car from your Toyota hybrid. You can however jump start another Toyota hybrid without issues.
And as a Bonus for the awesome viewers that watch this video to the end I show you how to jump start most Toyota hybrids.
This applies to all Toyota and Lexus hybrid models including Camry Hybrid Avalon hybrid Highlander hybrid Corolla Hybrid Prius Prius c Prius v RAV4 hybrid RAV4 prime Prius prime 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid and more.
Questions? Comment or email please note that it takes me sometime to get back to you via email but I always will in the end.

How toopen back seat of 2021 harrier
Fender Bender Accident Question?
Yellow cab side swiped on the front driver side fender area. There is a vibration at 60mph from then if speed increases then vibration increases too same thing when braking. No noises from the car.
Things are done to the car after the issue is found still no fix
# The fender was replaced.
# The tire is balanced twice and switched to different tires
# The Alignment was done a couple of times in fact never had alignment issues st
# axle replaced as well
If Toyota release 4Runner hybrid, do you recommend using a separate charger plugged into the rear of the vehicle if I want to jumpstart non-hybrid vehicle?
Hi, thank you for great informative video. I just bought a 2022 corolla hybrid today, and it showed the error "hybrid system malfunction" Very disappointed. what do you think what cause this? The car left outside for weeks in the cold -10 to -25 C. I'm not sure if that that weather would kill batteries. I'm still waiting for the answer from dealer. I don't think they will be honest with me what acutally cause it.
1) Don't spill water in the back seat (Know where your battery is)
2) Don't leave the gas cover open longer than 30 min (or you will spray gas everywhere)
3) Don't use "B" mode all day (the downshifted mode +/-)
4) Don't overfill your oil (check levels when engine is warm)
5) Don't jump start a non-hybrid car
Thank you
I really wanted to watch it all but it is too long...
@@sandeepakasun3470Really Sandeep? At 23.5 minutes? I guess it's a nice to know rather than need to know deal for you then? 😂
This is useful
Also it's good to know why
What is B mode?
Is that setting the regen braking to the stronger setting?
I don't even have a Toyota hybrid, or any hybrid for that matter. Still watched the whole thing.
Yeah. I also do it for learning. My future car may be a hybrid, too.
same
What’s holding you back? Buy one! 😀
Same
same here. it is good to learn about it still
I have always had trouble with being told what to do without being told WHY to do it. You are a great teacher. The more I learn from you, the more I realize why good maintenance is important, and the more motivated I am to care for my car. May the Lord bless and keep you too, brother.
The why is typically more important that the what. It's almost a variation on the teach a man to fish parable.
Yeah, this attitude is a two-edged thing.
Many people have the "I don't understand why, so I'm gonna do my own thing". When it comes to machines, believing the people who built it is generally a safe bet, even if you don't understand why.
Of course, there are other areas of life where distrusting people who tell you to do things without good explanation proves to be the correct thing...
@@edwardcullen1739 Yeah, your advice is sound. My previous son-in-law believed that oil changes were a scam inflicted by the auto-petroleum industry. His vehicles lasted a surprisingly short time. And if you bought one of his used, you were getting a terrible deal, even if the price was low.
I was like that since I was a kid where I got a chemistry kit and they just said not to mix two of the chemicals together. I did just to see why, it did nothing I could see, probably just poison gas or something!
Here is another helpful tip for Toyota Hybrid owners:
I have a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid.
I changed the engine air filter, but I forgot to reconnect the small electrical connector that goes to the engine air cleaner housing.
When I started it up, I got a 'check engine' warning, and a 'hybrid system malfunction' warning.
Since I had just changed the engine air filter, I immediately realized that I had forgotten to reconnect the small electrical connector.
After I reconnected the small electrical connector to the engine air filter housing, the check engine light went away, but the 'hybrid system malfunction' warning persisted.
After checking out a TH-cam video on the subject, I disconnected the negative battery terminal (under the hood, inboard next to the fuse block) and waited about 5 minutes.
When I reconnected the negative battery terminal and started it up, the 'hybrid system malfunction' warning went away, and now my car is just fine.
You have answered a few questions I’ve had over hybrids and while I don’t currently own one. This video has made the process a lot easier when it comes time for the next vehicle. Thank you!
I’m watching this after making a recent purchase of a hybrid, Thank you for taking the time to make this video 😊
This guy is so natural, it's really fantastic! He also makes everything so easy to understand.
Know zilch about hybrids until I discovered your channel. Have learnt so much. You explain everything in a simplistic manner and I can't thank you enough.
Having recently bought a Toyota Hybrid New edition I have found your vids incredible. Well done sir, and keep them coming. A pleasure to watch as well.
You are providing us a great service with info that potentially could save us a lot of grief.
I have a Prius and I will keep all these tips in mind. Keep up the good work!
I love your channel and your passion for cars, especially Toyota. Ever since i learned about Toyotas D-4S system and the benefits of it i became highly obsessed with the brand. Combine it with the reliability and you got yourself a no brainer. Thank you for all your videos and keep it going!
I have a 2023 highlander hybrid, my first hybrid. I love it. Thanks for the tips and I am looking to install practical mods for this like a sport roof rack! A future mods playlist of videos would be beyond helpful!
These are useful tips about the Toyota Hybrid vehicles. We just ordered our 2022 Sienna and watching your videos made me understand the van much better. Thank you so much!
I don't have a hybrid yet but the points you mention are good to know for any who do own one. Will definitely share the knowledge. Thanks for the video.
Have signed my papers for a 2022 Highlander Hybrid XLE, wait is about 5 months, excited and a little anxious, thanks a ton for all your videos.!!!!
I am a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid owner. You are speaking music to my ears. Thank you so much for this.
I love how you explain the engine and the system in such an easy fashion. After all the engines are only human. 🏆
Wow, am I glad I found this channel! My wife ordered a RAV4 hybrid yesterday and I have been scouring the internet to learn more about the Synergy Drive. (There's simply no comparison between the Synergy Drive and the Voltec system on my 2018 Volt.) I look forward to a lot more watching and learning.
Man, I just caught this video and all I can say is thank you. I learned so much from this one that now I have to see your whole series. I have a Prius 2017, so you have been very informative, Thanks again,
I'm from Scotland. I've watched your videos and decided to buy a Toyota Rav4. Managed to get a 2022 model and I'm loving it! Thanks for all the info I gathered from your videos, there great!!!!!
Great information! I'm new to hybrid cars and just recently got a 21' Rav4 XSE Hybrid. This will definitely come in handy. Thanks and you just earned a subscriber!
I just bought my first hybrid. I knew there were going to be differences from a conventional vehicle, and this video was awesome! Thanks for the great info!
As a hybrid owner, thank you so much for doing this video!! I learned a lot!
Big fan of this guy! I feel he is honest, sincere and trustworthy! God bless you and your family!!!
I love hybrids so quiet, reliable and the fuel consumption is really good. I love it.
We make the 300 mile (each way) trip to see the grandkids an average of almost once a month. We get in the Prius, fill the tank, and go. Every time, around the halfway point, I marvel at how comfortable, convenient, and affordable it is to glide down the freeway at 75 mph, averaging about 50 mpg, with no worry about breaking down.
Got a 21 prius and my gas lasts about a month. It's so nice compared to my Yaris. Power mode makes it feel fast and sporty even though it's not. It's so fun to drive overall!
@@drifto616 The batteries come with a ten year warranty and the tech has come to the point that even at 200k miles they have only degraded by about 10%. And replacing the batteries if you go with a refurbished is less than 2k
You are a great and such a pleasant teacher!
I have learned so much through the years watching your videos, us viewers are so lucky that you share these with us. Thank you so very much AMD
As an old school mechanic you taught me something about Hybrids . I subscribed, thank you .
I just purchased a 2021 Corolla hybrid and absolutely love it. I feel so grateful to have found this Chanel. Outstanding information every hybrid owner should know. I feel like I want to send you money for such excellent advice. What a great resource you are. NEVER STOP doing what your doing 😀
Congratulations on your corolla hybrid purchase! Thank you for watching my video!
Wait until it breaks down
@@uphill248 Toyota hybrid never breaks down
Newest Toyota Hybrids are intriguing because they have no belts! Everything is electric-motor-driven (AC compressor, water pump, power steering, etc.). The thing should be incredibly reliable with basic maintenance.
Great channel haven’t found one like it on TH-cam
I have great appreciation for this guy as he has taught me a lot on the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid I just got with about 73k miles. As a fast driver, I have learnt my lesson not to always match the pedal to the floor! as I used to do on my previous 2012 Camry standard. But I still need to know how to clean the engine compartment of the hybrid Camry. Thank you
As a future toyota hybrid owner thank you for your valuable advice. They will certainly help in its correct use.
Owned a 2007 Toyota Camery Hybrid. 247,000 miles on it before selling. Not one problem with the car. Have my new 2022 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Loving it as well.
New subscriber here! Love all these videos on the hybrid systems. I just picked up a 21 Sienna. I spent the day watching several of your videos and I've learned a lot! Had no idea how it all worked. Appreciate it, and keep it up!
I love our 21 Sienna. 109k miles, no issues.
I bought my first hybrid in November a Camry and I had a feeling that I should look up information from someone who knows more about it than me and here I find a Toyota mechanic. As soon as I found out about the battery fan and filter I knew with this car groceries will never be in the back seat and vacuum cleaner would be this car's best friend. I'm also guilty of putting bags of ice in the back seat during summer not no more. And the fuel door for now on I'll pop it just before filling. I'll be sure to share your channel at the Toyota dealership in Las Vegas I'm also going to share this with my sales person. And when that 12v battery goes out I won't be jumping it I'll be replacing it so I don't blow any computer. Finally I used to use premium discount fuel stations now I use top tier 87 conoco because it's just up the street.
Thank you very much!! I’m doing a lot of research on hybrids and phev’s and from what you and a few others have taught, I’m finally convinced that they are worth the money and am going to go into debt confidently to purchase the Prius prime . And yes I remember you suggesting the “gap” insurance. I’ll admit when you mentioned the hatch and window being expensive not to mention the worlds second most difficult HVAC system too, I was considering just the Prius but I love the superior engineering of Toyota and I’ve never heard anything bad about them. So thanks again for all your videos. And may God continue to bless you.
😅b
I’m thoroughly impressed with your expertise for all Toyota products. I drive a conventional Honda CRV and wish there was a similarly qualified person as you on TH-cam for Honda vehicles as I would subscribe immediately. You are very generous providing all your expertise and videos for all of us to enjoy and learn from you. Thank you!
the things i learned in this video about hybrid cars worth more than 10 years of what i learned from owing one, thank you so much for sharing these valuable information.
I grew up in an auto body shop atmosphere and 50 years later realized that I’ve never seen the big battery on my 2010 Prius or even imagined what it looks like. Great video.
Hybrids are very high tech and if you don’t don’t know what you’re doing you can turn your Prius into a very large, expensive paper weight……
I’m glad to have found your channel.
The information you provide is very important as well as educational
Great video!
Excellent tips! We got a new 2021 Toyota Sienna Hybrid last March and I’m glad I was able to remind and educate myself on these wonderful tips! Thank you!
Tip from experience. IF you don't drive your hybrid for a long period/vacation of time,3 weeks & over ,especially in summer your 12volt batterie will get drained.you can't charge this back up once it died, it done.This isn't your common batterie common 12volt batterie,you can only find at the dealer.they cost 0ver $300 +install if cant do it yourself.. So do yourself a favor and unplug it..for long period of not in use..this is a big one never mention.
I've learnt a lot about hybrids from this channel, thanks so much, keep up the good work!
Can we jump start another hybrid that’s not a Toyota, or should we let them call roadside assistance too?
Hi! I would play it safe and not jump another hybrid that’s not a Toyota unless you’re sure they don’t have a starter
Great tips on hybrids AMD! You always make it easy to understand and what is safe and unsafe to do with a hybrid! Thank you…we will be getting our first hybrid (when they start showing up at dealers) Lexus NX350h. We knew nothing when we researched the car about the differences in hybrid engines vs ICE engines..but thanks to you and your informative videos…we are a bit smarter now! Happy New Year sir!
I have no hybrid (maybe one day), but I have watched the video and found it very interesting. I have seen comments (or replies to comments) saying the video too long. Really ? If you don't have 20 min to learn what not to do, and to understand WHY you shouldn't do, you are probably the kind of people that never open your car user manual. And then, when a problem occurs by your fault, you will say "I didn't know, nobody told me". I have never owned a Toyota either, but I find this channel very interesting since there is always something to learn from experience and skilled people like the owner of this channel. BTW, I have just subscribed.
I just bought a 2021 VENZA Hybrid and your video was very helpful. One thing I learned from the owners manual is that this new Venza is a AWD vehicle and you should never have it towed with wheels on the ground. Manual stated that the car should be towed on a hauler or the wheels that are on the ground on a dolly. Thanks for your channel.
Thank you. I’ve been a Prius owner for a year and wasn’t aware of 80% of these tips. 😮🤔😮
Thank you for this. I was having trouble finding information on hybrid models. You're the best 👌
Thanks for your videos. Per your suggestion I checked the 3 inlets in the back seat and the filters we dirty and needed cleaning. I did not know if it is part of the normal dealer scheduled service but it was time. Thanks for the reminder on one of your videos and thanks for telling me it was a 10mm. You are providing good advise for us mortals.
Love your channel, I keep learning so much from you about my Toyota. Keep up the good work, God bless.
That's some great advice on the oil change about not filling the oil to the top line when cold. I do my oil changes and wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks!!
point number 5 is SO good to know, thanks for the vid bro
Picked up my Toyota Yaris gr sport hybrid last week, needed this!
Would have never thought about the jumping aspect. Thanks for making this video!
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. We just purchased a 2021 RAV4 Hybrid two days ago, and I learned a LOT from this video!
Thanks. We just ordered a new Rav 4 hybrid. We will have to wait between 6 months and a year before it arrives. We have never owned a hybrid so we really appreciate this information.
I am looking to buy a hybrid for the first time. Very informative and useful video. Thank you. Ian
CCN thanks again 4 making another hybrid educational video. I’m very excited about this technology and your simple but complicated explanations are priceless. Thanks CCN. Much blessings much love
I love these videos! Our family has had (3) gen 2 Priuses over the last 5 years and they are truly work horses! We have put probably close to 150,000 miles on Gen 2 Priuses and every time you have one of these videos, I learned something new! Thanks for making this information easy, accessible, and well laid out! I love the timestamps to help navigate the videos 💖
Not trying to be rude to you. But you've said you've had 3 Priuses in 5 years that's a massive turn over of cars for one family. It's not very good for the environment. Hybrids and electric cars take more power to produce than regular cars. If you don't keep them for a long time it will have a bigger c02 footprint. We need to keep cars for 20 years, rather than get a new one every couple of years. Sorry I'm not trying to be rude. The problem is the throw away society
@ Lewis Groves.
A person doesn’t need to keep the same car for 20 years. It just needs to sold to someone.
I agree all vehicles should be kept on the road as long as possible.
I agree. Most reliable car. I ever had.
@@loglog271 They stated their *family* has had 3 of them, I'd assume that is across multiple people rather than one single person replacing their car 3 times within 5 years. Also it is worth noting the 2nd gen Prius production ended over a decade ago, they're buying used vehicles that are already 10-20 years old.
I did have a Prius second gen. I drove it for 150.000 miles without a single problem. Now I drive a Lexus CT200h, also a great hybrid.
You are the man. Thanks for sharing these videos. I love my Camry Hybrid SE.
Very good pointers mate. I will certainly keep this in mind with my Toyota RAV4 hybrid. Another piece of advice for Toyota RAV4 hybrid owners is. When fuelling up don’t continue to fuel up after the fuel pump gauge stops to try and get more petrol into your car, this could damage your hybrid. The second pump stops then don’t continue fuelling up as a way to get more petrol in your car
You shouldn't fill any vehicle after the pump stops.
Thank you! These are so valuable information nobody ever told me. Thanks again.
Thinking about getting a 2021 Sienna AWD that been converted to handicap accessible with a power ramp, etc. Knew nothing about hybrids. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Love your channel. You are a fantastic orator and instructor.
Another mode I discovered is to press the mode button for a few seconds to turn on active motor-to-battery recharging from the motor but I don't know what the longterm effects would be to do this on a continuous basis. I'd like to see if there is any studies on this feature with a constant use. God bless
Thanks man! I just bought a hybrid yesterday and I have no idea about the stuff. Best wishes
Thanks, your a big help in understanding hybrids. This morning I checked my “new to me” 2018 RAV Hybrid oil level. It was over filled! So I drained some of it out and avoided potential problems. Thanks again!
Always check your oil level after an oil change, regardless whether you or a third-party did it. I’ve had a couple of instances where the oil was overfilled; one time it was at a Toyota dealership.
I love this guy! So Honest! I did the same thing to my telescope and reversed polarity and ruined my mount in the heat of the moment.
Thank you. Very helpful video. I was thinking this video was going to be a bunch of obvious stuff, but you actually mentioned things I would have had no clue.
Just brought a RX450H Lexus. Not using your car to jump start another car was priceless Thank you for this absolutely amazing Demonstration 👏🏽
Contemplating on getting a Rav4 Hybrid. I just realize I know nothing about hybrids. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video, very informative!
Get it!!! I just got one. The XSE
I second that. I have a Rav4 2019 Hybrid XSE. I absolutely love it. 👍
@@cij1916 same , I have no clue how to use the paddle shifters, any help.
@@anishsharma4893 what paddle shifters? I drive an automatic, I'm not shifting gears ain't nobody got time for that
@@cij1916 I have the new 2021 Rav 4 XSE prime , mine has a paddle shifters in it but there is no rev meter , I think it just ups the rpm but I’m fairly new to the car so still figuring it out
Nice video, good points made. I have a 2019 Honda Insight Hybrid. I save $ 1,900 a year on gas compared to my 2016 Honda Civic non-hybrid that I had previously. Driving the same amount of miles. That means in 10 years i'll save $ 19,000 in gas and the car basically paid for itself. The hybrid battery comes with a 10 year warranty incase theres any issue and theyre known to last even longer than that.
Thank you a lot❤ I got my first corolla hybrid to day, and this was very good information😊
What a fantastic channel! Thanks for your really detailed explanations. I've found more information about Toyota hybrids here than anywhere else. Just this week I purchased a Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade, my fourth Toyota hybrid since 2007. I've been very happy with all of them. With each new one it seems that the drive train is a bit more refined. Today the Cross took a very long hill near my home at 55 MPH/3400 RPM, something neither of my Pruises nor my RAV4 could do comfortably. From what I experienced today, I believe the Cross will be a delightful vehicle on road trips.
Life saving video ! I’m just about to buy a C H R hybrid and I did not know any of this very very valuable information. Thank you for taking the time to help us all.
Where do you live? The CHR hybrid is not currently available in the U. S.
more power keep it up, I love it when you say in the end "May the Lord bless you and keep you"
Thanks for the information. I'm always helping people with dead batteries, especially during the winter time and this is my first hybrid. Guess I'm going to have to remove the jumper cables from my car and buy one of those small jump starters.
I learned a lot. Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Glad I watched before I did any of these things.
Fascinating video from start to finish. They say you learn something new every day and that video was packed with valuable information. Thanks for sharing it.
Just got my new Venza Hybrid, and I’m so thankful for you! I did not know about any of these, super informative! :)
We just got one too, awesome car!!
I own 3 hybrids in my life time and i did not know that. Very valuable information to know. Thank you
Thanks for the information about jump starting hybrids and from hybrids!
Some serious knowledge being dropped. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your advice. I have learned some important things to keep my Prius c in good condition. I love this car. I plan to drive it for a very long time.
I havexa hybrid and I still learned a few new things. Thanks.
I am about to buy a Toyota touring Hybrid 22,glad i watch this vid. Thank you, great presemtation and to the point.
Thank you for your Toyota Hybrid instructions! 👍
After thoroughly researching, I bought a beautiful 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE Sedan. Very reliable and does 52 miles per gallon.
Great series on hybrids! I was hoping you can touch on changing the wheel size hybrid cars. What and what to do etc.
I just bought a 2021 RAV 4 Hybrid. Thank you for your advice. I will write these points on a card and keep it with the manual.
What a great find your videos are, thank you a zil. I just bought an awesome Corolla GS sport hybrid in Europe, there is so much to learn about here. Your presentation is wonderful. Thank you.
I don't have a hybrid, but may have in the future. Very useful info. Thank you
What a brilliant video! Thank you for making it. I don't have a hybrid vehicle, but I have friends with them, so I'll be sure to get them to watch this video. The problems with jump starting from a hybrid never occurred to me. I do carry jumper cables in my petrol/gas car, but I also carry one of those portable jump starters that has its own battery. I've never had to jump start any of my own cars, over the years, but I've jump started plenty of other people's vehicles. Now I'll know to be wary of helping people with hybrid engines.
What an amazing video. Thank you soo much. We have just bought a 4year old hybrid and we’re loving it. Xx
Thanks for sharing. I've learned something new about my 3 year old Corolla Hybrid.
Thanks for the jump start tip . I was wondering about this
Great tips. Especially the hot oil level check. That can apply to any vehicle oil change.
It depends on the vehicle b/c some are designed in such a way that the dots on the dipstick correlate to cold oil temp and some for hot. I have read the manuals on all of my cars and some others and it does vary by car. So do not apply this to just any car.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. You are a gifted caring teacher!
Thanks for all your helpful information. You really saved me alot of money. You're very professional in the tutorials and I learned alot about my third generation Prius. Thanks again
Glad I came across this channel. I’m contemplating buying the new 2021 rav4 xle hybrid awd
Holy crap! I thought I knew Toyota’s hybrid system but after watching this I learned so much! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Amazing bud, I’m glad I found your channel, I have a 2010 Prius and all this helps a great deal.
