Turbo cool down recommendations?

[1st4runner91]

imho Toyota probably threw that in the manual for the Hybrid, and was too lazy / didn't see the sense in dividing the manual into separate gas and hybrid sections just for that. It makes a bit of sense at least for the hybrid given frequent engine shutoffs.

For gas it just makes no sense to be uniquely concerned about this; mass market forced induction engines weren't born yesterday, and most 4R gas models (except Limited I think?) don't even have start/stop. I don't think this concern has come up in a serious way even once, in years, in various communities I've been in with turbo engines - many of which have start/stop too - at least, to the point of having to change driving habits just for it.

That’s actually great news.

The technology is time proven and you have that in a Toyota.

Win - win

For hybrid models, the engine would turn off once you put the car in park. Car is one but in battery mode. There is no way to let the engine idle.
