    Electric Vehicle Operation Once the READY indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, the vehicle may be driven. However, as there is no gasoline engine, no sound will be produced from the vehicle. It is important to recognize and understand the READY indicator provided in the instrument cluster.
  • Page 13: Traction Battery Assembly And Auxiliary Battery

    Traction Battery Assembly and Auxiliary Battery The UX300e features a high voltage traction battery assembly that contains sealed Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells. Traction Battery Assembly • The traction battery assembly is enclosed in a case and is rigidly mounted under the floor. The case is isolated from high voltage.
  • Page 14: Traction Battery Assembly Recovery

    Traction Battery Assembly Recovery • Contact either your Lexus Distributor or the nearest Lexus dealer. Auxiliary Battery • The UX300e contains a sealed lead-acid 12 Volts battery. This 12 Volts auxiliary battery powers the vehicle electrical system similar to a conventional vehicle. As with other conventional vehicles, the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery is grounded to the metal chassis of the vehicle.
  • Page 15: High Voltage Safety

    High Voltage Safety The traction battery assembly powers the high voltage electrical system with DC electricity. Positive and negative orange colored high voltage power cables are routed from the traction battery assembly, under the vehicle floor pan, to the drive unit (inverter and motor) and DC/DC converter.

  • Page 18: Spills

    Spills The UX300e contains some of the same common automotive fluids used in other non-electric Lexus vehicles, with the exception of the Li-ion electrolyte used in the traction battery assembly. The electrolyte used in the Li-ion battery cells is a flammable organic electrolyte. The electrolyte is absorbed into the battery cell separators, even if the battery cells are crushed or cracked, it is unlikely that liquid electrolyte will leak.
