Page 39: 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 a gasoline engine and an electric motor (trac- tion motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.
Page 40 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 via elec- tric motor (traction motor) to that of the gasoline engine.
Page 41 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.
Page 42 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.
