For your information

Not For Reproduction

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual covers all models and 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 produces 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.

26

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

Not For Reproduction

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect elec­tronic systems such as:

● Hybrid system

● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

● Cruise control 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 a mobile two-way radio system.

High voltage parts and cables on the 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 mobile two-way radio.

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.

27

CAUTIO N

Not For Reproduction

■ 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.

■ 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 cigarette
lighter, 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.

■ Dispose of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

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 of that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid
battery must be disposed of your Lexus dealer or a qualified service shop. If the
hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, they may cause electric shock that can
result in death or serious injury.

1-1. Hybrid system

Not For Reproduction

Hybrid system

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 with care.

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

Gasoline engine
Electric motor (Traction motor)

■ When stopped/during start-off

The gasoline engine stops when the vehicle is stopped. During start­off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At slow
speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is stopped
and the motor is used.

■ During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery as necessary.

32

■ When accelerating sharply

Not For Reproduction

The power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added via elec­tric motor (traction motor) to that of the gasoline engine.

1-1. Hybrid system

■ When braking (Regenerative braking)

The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

■ Regenerative braking

The motor generator converts kinetic energy to electric energy when:

● The accelerator pedal is released.

● The brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in “D”, “S” or “R”.

■ 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:

● The gasoline engine is warming up.

● The hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged.

● The hybrid battery (traction battery) temperature is low or high.

■ 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 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 becomes fully discharged and
you are unable to jump-start the vehicle with the 12-volt battery, contact your
Lexus dealer.

● If the shift lever is in “N”, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be

charged. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift lever in
“D” or “S” to avoid discharging the battery.

● To help prevent the 12-volt battery from becoming discharged, drive the vehicle

at least once a month, and operate the accessories only when the “READY”
indicator is on. When parking the vehicle, make sure the doors and trunk are
closed and all lights are turned off.

■ Charging the 12-volt battery

→P. 4 85

■ After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or removed

The gasoline engine may idle at times when it usually would not. The vehicle idles
continuously in order to re-learn the engine operating conditions and this does not
indicate a malfunction. If this continues for more than a few days, contact your Lexus
dealer.

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibrations even though the vehicle is able to
move. Always put the shift lever in “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 under the vehicle.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear

seat when the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the hybrid system starts or

stops.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to energy regeneration when you depress the brake

pedal.

● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● You may hear cooling fan sounds coming from the air intake vents behind the

rear seat.

■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling

The air conditioning system may operate automatically to cool the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal

Contact your Lexus dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal.
Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.

■ Hybrid battery air vents

Emergency shut off system

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

There are air intake vents on the
package tray for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (traction
battery). If the vents become
blocked, the hybrid battery may
overheat, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery output.

the message and follow the
instructions.

■ If a warning light comes on or a warning message is displayed, or the 12-volt bat-

tery is disconnected

The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If the
“READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Lexus dealer.

■ 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. 445) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not
be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add to make the low fuel level
warning light go out is about 13 L [3.4 gal. 2.8 Imp. gal.], when the vehicle is on a
level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope.)

■ High voltage precautions

The 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 and

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 caution labels attached to the vehicle.

■ Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury:

● Pull your vehicle off the road, put the shift lever in “P”, apply the parking brake,

and turn the hybrid system off.

● 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 it 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 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 four wheels raised. If the wheels with

the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the motor
may continue to generate electricity. This may cause an electricity leakage lead­ing to a fire. (

■ Nickel-metal hydride battery

Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of improp­erly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe burns and elec­trical shock that may result in death or serious injury.

■ Emergency shut off system

● Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables. Never

touch the parts or cables. (

● 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.

■ To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get the
electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from the outside
of the vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key may
not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may
go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not function.)

■ Note for the entry function

● Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the

system may not operate properly in the following cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the
rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray, floor or door
pockets or in the glove box when the hybrid system is started or “POWER”
switch modes are changed.

● Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the door

pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception con­ditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside
the vehicle.

● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be

locked or unlocked by anyone.

● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the

hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.

● The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle,

such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective
range. (The door will automatically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if
the doors are not opened and closed.)

● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key

is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the
entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)

● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the

doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original
position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.

trunk is about to open or close.

● Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it may

move abruptly in strong wind.

● The trunk lid may fall if it is not opened

fully. It is more difficult to open or close
the trunk lid on an incline than on a level
surface, so beware of the trunk lid unex­pectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.

● When closing the trunk lid, take extra

care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

● When closing the trunk lid, make sure to

press it lightly on its outer surface. If the

seat occupant.

■ Operating the foldable head restraint (with relaxation seat)

● If the seatback angle is adjusted using the switches located on the side of the

front passenger's seat or center console when the “POWER” switch is in ON
mode, the head restraint will operate as follows:

• When tilting the seatback forward: After the seatback movement ends, the
head restraint starts to rise and fold. A signal beeps once operation is com­plete. If the switch is released during the operation, the head restraint will
return to the neutral position.

• When tilting the seatback backward: If the head restraint is folded, it will
return to the neutral position.

● In the following situations, the head restraint will not operate even when the

seatback angle adjustment switch is operated:

• The “POWER” switch is OFF.

• The weight of an occupant or heavy object, etc. is detected on the front pas­senger's seat.

• The front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

● The weight of an occupant or heavy object etc. is detected on the front passen-

ger's seat.

● The front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

● The front passenger's door is open. (The front seat will not move forward.)

■ Seat cushion automatic length adjustment (driver's seat)

If the front of the cushion gets too close to the area around the instrument panel
when the seat position is being adjusted, the seat cushion will automatically retract.

■ Seat operation automatic stop function (with relaxation seat)

If a front seat is likely to come into contact with the retractable table (4-seat models)

■ Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

■ Operating the front passenger's seat from the driver's seat or rear seat

Do not operate the front passenger's seat when a passenger is seated in it. In addi­tion, do not let anyone sit down in the front passenger's seat while the seat is being
operated or when the head restraint is being folded. The front passenger may catch
their legs between the instrument panel and seat, or the head restraint may inter­fere with their head, resulting in injury.

■ The active head restraint on the front passenger seat

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which may prevents the sensor from
detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint may
not activate in the event of an accident.

■ Active head restraint precautions

● Do not put head restraint covers.

● For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head

restraints, contact your Lexus dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from oper­ating properly during an accident.

NOTICE

■ Operating the front passenger's seat from the driver's seat or rear seat

Before operating the front passenger's seat, make sure that there is no luggage or
any other objects on the seat or in the footwell that could prevent its operation.
Failure to do so may result in excess force being applied, causing damage to the
seat and/or the luggage.
