For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this man­ual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Lexus policy
of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at
any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehi­cle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and
equipment.

Accessories, spare parts and
modification of your Lexus

A wide variety of non-genuine spare
parts and accessories for Lexus vehi­cles are currently available in the mar­ket. Using these spare parts and
accessories which are not genuine
Lexus products may adversely affect
the safety of your vehicle, even though
these parts may be approved by cer­tain authorities in your country. Toyota
Motor Corporation therefore cannot
accept any liability or guarantee spare
parts and accessories which are not
genuine Lexus products, nor for
replacement or installation involving
such parts.

This vehicle should not be modified
with non-genuine Lexus products.
Modification with non-genuine Lexus
products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even vio­late governmental regulations. In addi­tion, damage or performance
problems resulting from the modifica­tion may not be covered under war­ranty.

Also, remodeling like this will have an
effect on advanced safety equipment
such as Lexus Safety System + and
there is a danger that it will not work
properly or the danger that it may work
in situations where it should not be
working.

Cyber Attack Risk

Installing electronic devices and radios
increases the risk of cyber attacks
through the installed parts, which may
lead to unexpected accidents and
leakage of personal information.

Lexus does not make any guarantees
for problems caused by installing
non-genuine Lexus products.

Installation of an RF-transmitter
system

The installation of an RF-transmitter
system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:

 Hybrid system

 Multiport fuel injection sys-

tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-

7

tion system

 Lexus Safety System +

 Anti-lock brake system

 Vehicle dynamics integrated man-

agement (if equipped)

 SRS airbag system

 Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Lexus
dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installa­tion of an RF-transmitter system.

Further information regarding fre­quency bands, power levels, antenna
positions and installation provisions for
the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at your Lexus
dealer.

High voltage parts and cables on the
hybrid electric vehicles emit approxi­mately the same amount of electro­magnetic waves as the conventional
gasoline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances despite of their
electromagnetic shielding.

Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the radio frequency trans­mitter (RF-transmitter).

recorded depending on the operation
timing and status of each function.

 Engine speed/Electric motor speed

(traction motor speed)

 Accelerator status

 Brake status

 Vehicle speed

 Operation status of the driving

assist systems

 Images from the cameras

Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.
Contact your Lexus dealer for the location
of recording cameras.

The recorded data varies according to
the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped.

These computers do not record con­versations or sounds, and only record
images outside of the vehicle in certain
situations.

■

Data usage

Lexus may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunc­tions, conduct research and develop­ment, and improve quality.

Lexus will not disclose the recorded
data to a third party except:

Vehicle data recording

This vehicle is equipped with sophisti­cated computers that record certain
data regarding vehicle controls and
operations.

■

Data recorded by the computers

Certain data, such as the following, is

 With the consent of the vehicle

owner or with the consent of the les­see if the vehicle is leased

 In response to an official request by

the police, a court of law or a gov­ernment agency

 For use by Lexus in a lawsuit

 For research purposes where the

8

data is not tied to a specific vehicle
or vehicle owner

Image information recorded by the vehicle
can be erased by your Lexus dealer.

The image recording function can be disa­bled. However, if the function is disabled,
data from when systems operate will not be
available.

If you wish to stop the collection of Lexus
Safety System + data by the Toyota servers
for the purpose of research and develop­ment and provision to individual services,
contact your Lexus dealer.

Usage of data collected through
Lexus Connected Services

If your Lexus has Lexus Connected
Services and if you have subscribed to
those services, please refer to the
Lexus Connected Services usage con­tract for information on data collected
and its usage.

recorded depending on the severity
and type of a crash.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;

• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situa­tion occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving condi­tions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired dur­ing a crash investigation.

Event data recorder

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur­pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such
as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynam­ics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less. However, data may not be

To read data recorded by an EDR, spe­cial equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

 Disclosure of the EDR data

Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in
an EDR to a third party except when:

• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner

(or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is

WARNING

obtained

• In response to an official request by the
police, a court of law or a government
agency

• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit

However, if necessary, Lexus may:

• Use the data for research on vehicle
safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party for
research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or
vehicle owner

Scrapping of your Lexus

The SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner devices in your Lexus
contain explosive chemicals. If the
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners left as they
are, this may cause an accident such as
fire. Be sure to have the systems of the
SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Lexus dealer
before you scrap your vehicle.

Driver distraction: Always give your full
attention to driving. Anything that dis­tracts the driver, such as adjusting con­trols, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

■

General precaution regarding chil­dren’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof or panoramic moon roof,
or other features of the vehicle. In addi­tion, heat build-up or extremely cold
temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

■

General precaution regarding a coin
battery and button battery

■

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive
your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment and reduce coordina­tion, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defen­sively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and
be ready to avoid accidents.

This product contains a coin battery or
button battery. Observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.

●

Keep away new and removed batteries
from children.

●

Do not swallow the battery. Doing so
may cause chemical burns.

●

If a battery is swallowed, it may cause
severe chemical burns in as little as 2
hours and may result in death or seri­ous injury.

10

WARNING

●

If you accidentally swallow a battery or
put a battery into a part of your body,
get emergency medical attention
immediately.

tion.

Observe the following before start­ing off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.

Installing floor mats

Use only floor mats designed specifi­cally for vehicles of the same model
and model year as your vehicle. Fix
them securely in place onto the carpet.

1 Insert the retaining hooks (clips)

into the floor mat eyelets.

2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-

ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with
the pedals while driving. An unexpect­edly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

■

When installing the driver’s floor mat

●

Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genu­ine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro­vided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bot­tom-side up or upside-down.

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.

Always align the marks .

The shape of the retaining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illustra-

before driving.

Correct driving posture

Adjust the angle of the seatback so

A

that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for­ward to steer. (P.127)

Adjust the seat so that you can

B

depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. (P.127)

with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
(P.136)

Wear the seat belt correctly.
(P.26)

1-1. For safe use

●

Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos­ture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the front
seats.
Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in
place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed limit
when driving on public roads.

●

When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel
tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con­tinue driving and take a break immedi­ately.

Correct use of the seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wear­ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (P.26)
Use a child restraint system appropri­ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. (P.38)

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●

The driver and all passengers must
wear their seat belts correctly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat belts.

1-1. For safe use

●

The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury, especially if the
driver is very close to the airbag.

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag
is the first 50-75 mm (2-3 in.) of inflation,
placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from
your driver airbag provides you with a
clear margin of safety. This distance is
measured from the center of the steering
wheel to your breastbone. If your current
driving position places you less than 250
mm (10 in.) away from the driver airbag,,
you can change your driving position in
several ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as
possible while still being able to reach
the pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the seatback. Although
vehicle designs vary, many drivers can
achieve the 250 mm (11 in.) distance,
even with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the
seatback somewhat. If reclining the
seatback makes it hard to see the road,
raise yourself by using a firm, non-slip­pery cushion, or raise the seat if your
vehicle has that feature.

•If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt
it downward. This points the airbag
toward your chest instead of your head
and neck. The seat should be adjusted
as recommended above, while still
being able to control the vehicle with
the pedals and steering wheel, and
maintaining your view of the instru­ment panel controls.

●

The SRS front passenger airbag
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury,
especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen­ger seat should be positioned as far
possible from the airbag with the
seatback adjusted so that the passen­ger is sat upright.

WARNING

1-1. For safe use

●

Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag.
An infant or child who is too small to
use a seat belt should be properly
secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all
infants and children be placed in the
rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for
infants and children than the front pas­senger seat. (

●

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.

●

Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag or sit
on the lap of a front passenger.



P.38)

●

Do not lean against the door, roof side
rail, or front, side, or rear pillar.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on a seat
toward the door or put their head or
hands outside the vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or lean any­thing against areas such as the dash­board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.

●

Front seat occupants should never
hold items on their lap.

●

Do not attach anything to areas such
as the doors, windshield, side windows,
front or rear pillars, roof side rails and
assist grips.

WARNING

●

Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard objects on the coat hooks. These
items could become projectiles if the
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, pos­sibly leading to death or serious injury.

●

If a vinyl cover is attached to the area
where the SRS knee airbag deploys,
be sure to remove it.

●

Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts from which the SRS
airbags deploy, as they may interfere
with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the SRS
airbags from deploying correctly, may
disable the system or cause the SRS
airbags to inflate unintentionally, possi­bly resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant force
to the SRS airbag system components,
front doors or their surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS airbags
to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any components of the
SRS airbags immediately after the SRS
airbags have deployed (inflated) as
they may be hot.

●

If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as possi­ble to prevent skin irritation.

●

If a part where an SRS airbag is stored
is damaged or cracked, have it
replaced by your Lexus dealer.

Child restraint systems

Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro­priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

 It is recommended that children

sit in the rear seats to avoid acci­dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.

 Use the rear door child-protector

lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door
while driving or operating the
power window accidentally.
(P.106, 155)

 Do not let small children operate

equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.

■

When children are in the vehicle

Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof or panoramic moon roof,
or other features of the vehicle. In addi­tion, heat build-up or extremely cold
temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre­cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys­tems, as well as installation meth­ods, etc., written in this manual.

Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child
restraint system to a rear seat. Be
sure to follow the installation
method that is in the operation
manual enclosed with the restraint

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●

For effective protection in automobile
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a
seat belt or child restraint system
which is correctly installed. For installa­tion details, refer to the operation man­ual enclosed with the child restraint
system. General installation instruction
is provided in this manual.

●

Lexus strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that con­forms to the weight and size of the
child, installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.

●

Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the wind­shield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint system

If the child restraint system is not prop­erly fixed in place, the child or other pas­sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sud­den swerving, or an accident.

●

If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos­sible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.

●

Depending on the child restraint sys­tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle.
(P.42) Be sure to install and observe
the usage rules after carefully reading
the child restraint system fixing
method in this manual, as well as the
operation manual enclosed with the
child restraint system.

●

Keep the child restraint system prop­erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the lug­gage compartment.

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING

●

Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a for­ward-facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the
airbags deploy (inflate).

1-2. Child safety

●

Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat,
front or rear pillars, or roof side rails
from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.

For safety and security

●

When a junior seat (booster seat) is
installed, always ensure that the shoul­der belt is positioned across the center
of the child’s shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.

1-2. Child safety

●

Use child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.

●

If the driver’s seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the
left-hand rear seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle. It has characteristics different from
conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics
of your vehicle, and operate it with care.

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor
(traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and
reducing exhaust emissions.

The gasoline engine stops

when the
vehicle is stopped. During start off, the
electric motor (traction motor) drives
the vehicle. At slow speeds or when
traveling down a gentle slope, the

engine is stopped

*

and the electric

motor (traction motor) is used.

is not being charged.

*

: When the hybrid battery (traction bat-

warming up, etc., the gasoline engine will
not automatically stop. (P.57)

■

During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predominantly
used. The electric motor (traction

motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery) as necessary.

AWD models: Depending on the driv­ing conditions, the rear electric motor
(traction motor) is powered by the
front electric motor (traction motor) to
drive the rear wheels.

■

When accelerating sharply

When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine via
the electric motor (traction motor).

■

When braking (regenerative brak­ing)

The wheels operate the electric motor
(traction motor) as a power generator,
and the hybrid battery (traction bat-

■

EV indicator

The EV indicator comes on when the vehi­cle is driven using only the electric motor
(traction motor) or the gasoline engine is
stopped.

■

Conditions in which the gasoline engine
may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and stops auto­matically. However, it may not stop auto­matically in the following conditions:

●

During gasoline engine warm-up

●

During hybrid battery (traction battery)
charging

●

When the temperature of the hybrid bat­tery (traction battery) is high or low

●

When the heater is switched on

●

When the hood is opened during

“READY” indicator is illuminated

Depending on the circumstances, the gaso­line engine may also not stop automatically
in other situations.

■

Charging the hybrid battery (traction
battery)

As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the battery does
not need to be charged from an outside
source. However, if the vehicle is left parked
for a long time the hybrid battery (traction
battery) will slowly discharge. For this rea­son, be sure to drive the vehicle at least
once every few months for at least 30 min­utes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid bat­tery (traction battery) becomes fully
discharged and you are unable to start the
hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.

■

Charging the 12-volt battery

P.495

■

After the 12-volt battery has discharged
or when the terminal has been removed
and installed during exchange, etc.

The gasoline engine may not stop even if
the vehicle is being driven by the hybrid bat­tery (traction battery). If this continues for a
few days, contact your Lexus dealer.

■

Sounds and vibrations specific to a
hybrid electric vehicle

Because there is no engine sound or vibra­tion, it is easy to mistake the hybrid electric
vehicle for being off when it is actually still
running, as indicated by the “READY” indi­cator being illuminated. For safety, make
sure to always shift the shift position to P
and apply the parking brake when parked.

The following sounds or vibrations may
occur when the hybrid system is operating
and are not a malfunction:

●

Motor sounds may be heard from the
engine compartment.

●

Sounds may be heard from the hybrid
battery (traction battery) behind the rear
seats when the hybrid system starts or
stops.

●

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the
hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the
vehicle with at least enough gasoline to
make the low fuel level warning light
(P.458) go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not
be able to start. (The standard amount of
fuel is about 9.8 L [2.6 gal., 2.2 Imp. gal.],
when the vehicle is on a level surface. This
value may vary when the vehicle is on a
slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)

Electromagnetic waves

●

High voltage parts and cables on hybrid
electric vehicles incorporate electro­magnetic shielding, and therefore emit
approximately the same amount of elec­tromagnetic waves as conventional gaso­line powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances.

●

Your vehicle may cause sound interfer­ence in some third party-produced radio
parts.

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a
limited service life. The lifespan of the

hybrid battery (traction battery) can
change in accordance with driving style and
driving conditions.

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC
systems as well as a 12-volt system. DC
and AC high voltage is very dangerous
and can cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or serious
injury.

●

Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
or their connectors.

●

The hybrid system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high
voltage. Be careful of both the high
voltage and the high temperature, and
always obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.

●

Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the rear
seat. The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced and is
subject to high voltage.

●

Do not touch the high voltage parts,
cables and connectors.

●

If electric wires are exposed inside or
outside your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch exposed elec­tric wires.

●

If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the
fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec­trolyte from the hybrid battery (trac­tion battery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of
water or, if possible, boric acid solu­tion. Seek immediate medical atten­tion.

●

If a fire occurs in the hybrid electric
vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as
possible. Never use a fire extinguisher
that is not meant for electric fires.
Using even a small amount of water
may be dangerous.

●

If your vehicle needs to be towed, do
so with front wheels (2WD models) or
four wheels (AWD models) raised. If
the wheels connected to the electric
motor (traction motor) are on the
ground when towing, the motor may
continue to generate electricity.This
may cause a fire. (

Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place to pre­vent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the
parking brake and shift the shift posi­tion to P to stop the hybrid system.
Then, slowly release the brake pedal.

●

Carefully inspect the ground under the
vehicle. If you find that liquid has
leaked onto the ground, the fuel sys­tem may have been damaged. Leave
the vehicle as soon as possible.

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

●

Never resell, hand over or modify the
hybrid battery. To prevent accidents,
hybrid batteries that have been
removed from a disposed vehicle are
collected through your Lexus dealer.
Do not dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly col­lected, the following may occur, result­ing in death or serious injury:

• The hybrid battery may be illegally dis­posed of or dumped, and it is hazard­ous to the environment or someone
may touch a high voltage part, result­ing in an electric shock.

• The hybrid battery is intended to be
used exclusively with your hybrid vehi­cle. If the hybrid battery is used outside
of your vehicle or modified in any way,
accidents such as electric shock, heat
generation, smoke generation, an
explosion and electrolyte leakage may
occur.

When reselling or handing over your
vehicle, the possibility of an accident is
extremely high because the person
receiving the vehicle may not be aware
of these dangers.

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vents

Do not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the vehi­cle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery
(traction battery), the battery may be
damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.

Hybrid battery (traction bat­tery) air intake

The air intake vents for the hybrid bat­tery (traction battery) are located
under the rear seats.

If the air intake vents are blocked, it
could lead to a reduction in hybrid bat­tery (traction battery) output.

If input/output of the hybrid battery (trac­tion battery) becomes limited and the dis­tance that the vehicle can be driven using
the electric motor (traction motor) is
reduced, the fuel economy may ber­educed.

●

If your vehicle is disposed of without
the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious
electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are
touched. In the event that your vehicle
must be disposed of, the hybrid battery
must be disposed of by your Lexus
dealer or a qualified service shop. If
the hybrid battery is not disposed of
properly, it may cause electric shock
that can result in death or serious
injury.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vents

●

Make sure not to block the air intake
vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage.The
input/output of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) may be restricted,
leading to a reduction in hybrid battery
(traction battery) output and a mal­function.

●

Periodically clean the air intake vents
to prevent them from clogging.
(P.434)

●

Do not get water or foreign materials
in either the air intake vents as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the
hybrid battery (traction battery).

Emergency shut off system

When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the
high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu­tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the hybrid
system, contact your Lexus dealer.
