Hey everyone. Just drove my 2007 Seaside Pearl Prius Touring home from a dealer in Texas. On the way home I spilled some liquid on the owners manual and wanted to know if anyone has electronic version of the manual. Also, in my 1,500 mile journey home 1 particular rattle/sound was coming from the back hatch(I believe) any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

All kinds of prius manual stuff is at: http://john1701a.com/
Re: rattle in the back. You probably have something sliding around back there I'd check under the floor in the hatch for something loose, or in the storage bin on the side in the back. There's plenty of stuff back there that hooks, snaps or latches into place (including the seats, check those) and could rattle if it's not "in" all the way. Re: manuals, I think there's some sort of legal thing preventing people from sharing manuals.... pesky copyrights! Also, having compared e-versions of manuals and service manuals, you definitely want a manual for your car's model-year. You can get the owners manual and the service manuals in electronic form for very little money by purchasing an account here: http://techinfo.toyota.com/
