Page 31: Hybrid System
1-1. Hybrid system Hybrid system Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from con- ventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care. The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel effi- ciency and reducing exhaust emissions.
Page 32 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.
Page 33 After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or removed ■ The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Lexus dealer.
Page 34 ● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents under the rear seat. ● Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal ■ Contact your Lexus dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
Page 35: Hybrid System Precautions
1-1. Hybrid system Hybrid system precautions Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it contains a high voltage system (about 650V at maximum) as well as parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
Page 36 Also, the emergency shut off system cuts the fuel supply, minimizing the risk of fuel leakage. If this occurs, the hybrid system will not be able to be restarted, therefore contact your Lexus dealer.
Page 37 If a warning light comes on or, a warning message is displayed ■ 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. When the 12-volt battery is reconnected ■...
Page 38 1-1. Hybrid system Running out of fuel ■ In order to start the hybrid system, fuel is required. Therefore the hybrid system can- not be started on electrical energy only. 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.
