BATTERY & JUMP-STARTING:
The Lexus ES300h battery is located in the passenger side of the rear cargo area, under a removable trim
panel on the right side (Figure 17). If the battery has been discharged you will need to access the trunk area
using the metal key found in the key fob (Figure 18).
The following jump-starting procedures should be followed when rendering assistance to a Lexus ES300h:
Never use jump-starting equipment that can exceed normal 12-volt charging system voltage
Ensure that all electrical accessories and the ignition are OFF and all the key fobs are at least 10 feet
away from the vehicle before connecting jumper cables or a jumper box to the discharged vehicle
Connect cables to the designated locations and in the order shown in Figure 19 above. Disconnect
cables in reverse order:
Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the positive (+) terminal on the discharged battery
Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the
second vehicle
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal on the second vehicle
