General Maintenance and reGular use

In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus hybrid vehicle requires
ongoing general maintenance such

of the Owner's Manual for a detailed
description of inspection procedures.

Every Several Months
If the vehicle is parked for a long
time, the hybrid battery will discharge
gradually. To keep the hybrid
battery in good condition, drive the
vehicle at least once every several
months for at least 30 minutes
or ten miles. If the hybrid battery
becomes fully discharged and the
vehicle will not start even with a
jump-start to the 12-volt battery,
contact your Lexus dealership.
If You Run Out of Fuel
Take all precautions to prevent the
hybrid vehicle from running out of
fuel. If you do run out of fuel, add fuel
to the fuel tank before trying to restart
the vehicle or continuing to drive.

Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a soft cloth
dampened with warm water.
• When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Using a
sponge, apply a small amount
of neutral wool detergent mixed

motion. Wipe off any excess
detergent and let leather dry
in an open-air location.
