When our 2006 HH runs on full-electric mode (ICE off), it has a soft high pitch whirl/purr, almost could pass for a whistle. THat may be what you are hearing?
 
If you have the energy display, see if the sound returns when the car is in full electric mode.

Hello, I just got a 2006 Highland hybrid with 42000 miles. I went through the owner's maunal and did not see maintenance schedule. I am wondering if there is a seperate manual for the maintenance schedule. Or can I find it somewhere in the web? Thanks for help.

Perhaps the better question should have been "is there supposed to be a little spring-loaded flap in the fuel filler neck in the HiHy?" I don't recall seeing one, but i never checked before. I think another possibility would be a supposed "fuel bladder" misplacement? I've tried all kinds of ways to get the nozzle positioned in the filler, but nothing seems to work.
 
The radio problem is frequent and random, and it just started occurring a couple of weeks ago. I would think that if it were standard RFI i would have noticed it before. Maybe not! Thanks loads for the replies!

Your radio problem sounds like the attenna connection has broken some how, or come out of the port. How to check that, I do not know, as I do not have one of these fine automobiles, but what you're describing sounds like weak signal. The antenna hasn't broken off or been stolen, has it?

Yes, there is a separate booklet that has the maintenance schedule. Try the following Toyota link:
 
http://smg.toyotapartsandservice.com/index.php
 
You can enter model, year and mileage and it shows the recommended service. It is not precise but it will help.
 
Good luck!

Just want to add that I can hear the "whirl/whistle" at lower speed when the ICE and the electric motors are both ON. This happens when the motor is helping the ICE to move the car along.

Let us know what kind of mileage you get driving to and from the dealership to get the key replaced.

You need to have car learn the key fob - check you owner's manual - simple procedure. Good luck.

RH400 a better deal? by stevedebi

I myself drive a FEH, which can be bought for under 30K (and gets over 30 MPG in town, but I digress), but watching the prices paid forums has brought a question to mind.
 
I have been noticing that people are paying late 30's and even lower 40's for their HH. I observe that the Lexus RH400 has been selling for 46K or so.
 
Isn't it a better idea to put in the extra 4-6 K and get a Lexus instead of the HH? It seems to be that it will have better luxury and hold it's value better.
