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.
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 injection system
Lexus Safety System +
Anti-lock brake system
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
7
hybrid 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).
Vehicle data recording
The vehicle is equipped with sophisticated computers that will record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed/Electric motor speed
(traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems
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:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee if the vehi-
cle 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 data is
not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
Recorded image information can be
erased by your Lexus dealer.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the function is disabled,
data from when the system operates will
not be available.
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 b e
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,
8
WARNING
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.
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
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.
■ 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.
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.
WARNING
■ General precaution regarding chil-
dren’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 other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING
1-1.For safe use
1-1. For safe use
Before driving
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.
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.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.
Always align the marks .
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illustration.
■ 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.
● With the hybrid system stopped and
the shift lever in P, fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does
not interfere with the floor mat.
1-1. For safe use
WARNING
25
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
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.120)
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.120)
Lock the head restraint in place
C
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
(P.125)
D
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(P.27)
● 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

Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle.
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
■ Wearing a seat belt
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat
belt.
● Always wear a seat belt properly.
● Each seat belt should be used by one
person only. Do not use a seat belt for
more than one person at once, including children.
● Lexus recommends that children be
seated in the rear seat and always use
a seat belt and/or an appropriate child
restraint system.
● To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than necessary. The seat belt is most effective
when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm.
● Always wear your seat belt low and
snug across your hips.
WARNING
■ Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P.27)
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over
the hips in the same manner as other
occupants, extending the shoulder belt
completely over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as a result of sudden braking or a collision.
1-1. For safe use
● Inspect the seat belt system periodi-
cally. Check for cuts, fraying, and
loose parts. Do not use a damaged
seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged
seat belts cannot protect an occupant
from death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are
locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus
dealer.
● Replace the seat assembly, including
the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if
there is no obvious damage.
● Do not attempt to install, remove,
modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs
carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

the amount of protection in an accident
and cause death or serious injuries in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve
or accident.
Seat belt pretensioners (front
and outboard rear seats)
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants.
■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front
and rear pillars, and roof side rails may be
hot for several minutes. The airbag itself
may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
● The hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
(P.62)
● All of the doors will be unlocked.
(P.105)
● The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. (P.250)
● The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. (P.284)
● The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. (P.346)
■ SRS a irbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a
fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
parked vehicle or sign pole, which can
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride
collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact
force produced by an approximately
1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an
approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 18 mph]).
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side collision.
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also
deploy in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
■ Conditions under which the SRS air-
bags may deploy (inflate), other than a
collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain
shield airbags may also deploy if a serious
impact occurs to the underside of your
vehicle. Some examples are shown in the
illustration.
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
1-1. For safe use
33
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved
in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient
forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain
shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
may not activate if the vehicle is subjected
to a collision from the side at certain angles,
or a collision to the side of the vehicle body
other than the passenger compartment.
● Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger compartment
● Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved
in a low-speed side collision.
● Collision from the front
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved
in a low-speed side or low-speed frontal
collision.
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
■ When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
● The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause the
SRS front airbags to inflate.
● A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has had a
hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not
severe enough to cause the SRS side and
curtain shield airbags to inflate.
● The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger airbag or lower portion of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
● The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars
or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
■ SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING
● 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 you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many
drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10
in.) distance, even with the driver seat
all the way forward, simply by reclining
the back of the seat somewhat. If
reclining the back of your seat 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 maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel,
and your view of the instrument panel
controls.
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. (P.41)
● 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 unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
● Do not allow the front seat occupants
to hold items on their knees.
35
1
For safety and security
● The SRS front passenger airbag also
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 as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
36
WARNING
1-1. For safe use
● Do not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
● Do not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield, side door glass,
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip.
● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seats toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
● Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dashboard, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard objects on the coat hooks. All of
these items could become projectiles
and may cause death or serious injury,
should the SRS curtain shield airbags
deploy.
● If a vinyl cover is put on the area where
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be
sure to remove it.
● Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with
inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death
or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels
of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components or the front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to
malfunction.
● Do not touch any of the component
parts 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.
WARNING
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are
stored, such as the steering wheel pad
and front and rear pillar garnishes are
damaged or cracked, have them
replaced by your Lexus dealer.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS air-
bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Lexus dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and
repair of the SRS airbags
● Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or
seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails, front door panels,
front door trims or front door speakers
● Modifications to the front door panel
(such as making a hole in it)

Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision
with a body, such as a pedestrian,
the Pop Up Hood system raises the
hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian’s
head area by adding clearance to
the engine compartment.
When the sensors located at the
back of the front bumper detect a
frontal impact with a body, such as a
pedestrian, which meets or
exceeds the threshold level while
the vehicle is being driven within
the operational speed range, the
system operates.

■ PCS-linked Pop Up Hood operation
control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) determines that the possibility of a collision with a
pedestrian or bicyclist is high, the Pop Up
Hood will be prepared to operate.
■ Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the
vehicle detects an impact such as the following:
● The front bumper detects a frontal
impact equivalent to or greater than that
of a pedestrian while the vehicle being
driven within the operational speed
range of approximately 25 to 55 km/h
(16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated
by an impact of threshold level or greater,
even in the case of a minor collision that
may not leave a trace on the front
bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system
may operate by a collision with a light or
small object or a small animal.)
● In other situations such as the following,
the system may operate when an impact
is applied to the lower part of the vehicle
or front bumper:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
•Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an
undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
■ Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood may not operate properly
● If a pedestrian collides with the right or
left corner of the front bumper or the side
of the vehicle. As such impacts may be
difficult to detect, the system may not
operate.
● If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-
rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways, the system may not operate
properly.
■ Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood will not operate
The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the
following situations:
● Colliding with a lying person
● A frontal impact applied to the front
bumper while driving at speeds outside
of the operational speed range
● A side impact or rear impact
● A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-
ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
■ When the Pop Up Hood is operated
● Do not pull the hood lock release
lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood
has operated will further raise the
hood and may cause an injury. Do not
drive with the hood raised, as doing so
may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
● Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be
lowered by hand, doing so may
deform the hood or cause an injury.
● If the Pop Up Hood has operated,
have it replaced by your Lexus dealer.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and contact
your Lexus dealer.
● Do not touch the lifters immediately
after the Pop Up Hood has operated,
as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
■ Pop Up Hood precautions
● Make sure to close the hood before
driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
● Make sure that all 4 tires are of the
specified size and inflated to the specified tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not
operate properly.

necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.
● Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension,
or replace them with non-genuine
parts, as doing so may prevent the system from operating properly.
● Do not install anything to the front
bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the system from operating properly.
● Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so
may damage the lifters and prevent
the system from operating properly.
● Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height
may prevent the system from operating properly.
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Keep the trunk lid closed.
● If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-
cle even when the trunk lid is closed,
open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■ When parking
● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the hybrid system.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the
hybrid system on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided,
park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter
the vehicle interior.

1-2. Child safety
Use a child restraint system until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
Choose a child restraint system
appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
Note that not all child restraint sys-
tems can fit in all vehicles.
Before using or purchasing a child
restraint system, check the compatibility of the child restraint system
with seat positions. (P.45)
■ 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.
■ 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 sys-
tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle.
(P.45) 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 prop-
erly 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 trunk.
● 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.

WARNING
WARNING
1-2. Child safety
● Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-
ward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of it!
This is because the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury to
the child.
There is a label(s) on the passenger
side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden
to attach a rearfacing child restraint
system to the front passenger seat.
Details of the label(s) are shown in the
illustration below.
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
● 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 lefthand rear seat.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.

For safety and security
● 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 curtai n shield airbags d eploy even
if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
● 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.
● Use a child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.

When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seat, it may not
be possible to properly use the seat
belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
When installing a child restraint in
the rear seats, adjust the front seat
so that it does not interfere with the
child or child restraint system.
When installing a child seat with
support base, if the child seat interferes with the seatback when latching it into the support base, adjust
the seatback rearward until there is
no interference.
If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt guide,
move the seat cushion forward.
When installing a junior seat, if the
child in your child restraint system is
in a very upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most comfortable position. And if the seat belt
shoulder anchor is ahead of the
child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.

Hybrid system features
Your vehicle is a hybrid 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.

■ During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly
used. The electric motor (traction
motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery) as necessary.
1-3. Hybrid system
57
■ 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 brak-
ing)
The wheels operate the electric motor
(traction motor) as a power generator,
and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.
■ Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is
converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction
with the recharging of the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
● The accelerator pedal is released while
driving with the shift lever in D or S.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driv-
ing with the shift lever in D or S.
■ 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 auto-
matically in the following conditions
● During gasoline engine warm-up
*
:
● During hybrid battery (traction battery)
charging
● When the temperature of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is high or low
● When the heater is switched on
*
: 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.382
■ After the 1 2-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 vehicle
There may be no engine sound or vibration
even though the vehicle is able to move with
the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For
safety, apply the parking brake and make
sure to shift the shift lever to P 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
1

stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or
soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid
battery (traction battery), behind the rear
seats, when the hybrid system is started
or stopped.
● Sounds from the hybrid system may be
heard when the trunk lid is open.
● Sounds may be heard from the transmis-
sion when the gasoline engine starts or
stops, when driving at low speeds, or
during idling.
● Engine sounds may be heard when
accelerating sharply.
● Sounds may be heard due to regenera-
tive braking when the brake pedal is
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is
released.
● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline
engine starts or stops.
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from
the air intake vent under the rear seat.
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and dis-
posal
Contact your Lexus dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do
not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV
indicator) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P.399)
1-3. Hybrid system
Hybrid system precautions
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high voltage system
(about 650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts that become extremely
hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to
the vehicle.

■ 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.357) 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 9.0 L [2.4 gal., 2.0 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.)
60
WARNING
1-3. Hybrid system
■ Electromagnetic waves
● High voltage parts and cables on hybrid
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 interfer-
ence 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.
● Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the rear
seat (right side). The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.
■ Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place to pre-
vent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the
parking brake and shift the shift lever
to P to stop the hybrid system. Then,
slowly release the brake pedal.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
WARNING
● If electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid
battery (traction battery), do not
approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
damaged, the internal construction of
the battery will prevent a large amount
of electrolyte from leaking out. However, any electrolyte that does leak out
will give off a vapor. This vapor is an
irritant to skin and eyes and could
cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
● Do not bring burning or high-tem-
perature items close to the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and cause a
fire.
● If a fire occurs in the hybrid 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 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. (P.349)
● Carefully inspect the g round 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.
1-3. Hybrid system
■ 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 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.
● 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.
