Page 26: 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 27 1-1. Hybrid system ■ During normal driving The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery as necessary. ■ When accelerating sharply The power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasoline engine via the electric motor (traction motor).
Page 28 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. Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle ■...
Page 29: 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.
