Re: Electric-Only Switch
It could affect your warranty, but probably only if you abuse it by using it all the time and happen to kill the battery, although even that's highly unlikely since it won't let you use it below 3 bars. The reason it shouldn't void the warranty is because it's a real feature, not a hack. Supposedly the reason it wasn't included in the North American models was due to EPA mileage testing and not being able to calculate that, but personally I think Toyota wanted to have one market that didn't have the option so that they could compare (statistically) if it made a difference on battery longevity. If anything serious ever did go wrong that was covered under warranty it's very easy to remove so that they would never know you ever had it, and your warranty would be unaffected.
