12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related

parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when han-

dling the 12-volt battery:

●

When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not

to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle

body.

●

Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.

●

In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately

wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines
on the reservoir.

Reservoir
“FULL” line
“LOW” line

Add coolant if necessary.

Water can be used in an emergency

if coolant is unavailable.

Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for coolant leaks from
the radiator or hoses.

The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a

cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking the fan sound and air

flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air conditioning system on and off

repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)

If the fans are not operating:

Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact your Lexus dealer.

If the fans are operating:

Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.

WARNING

■

When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.

●

If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam

has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.

●

After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the power

switch and the “READY” indicator are off.

When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically start, or

the cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch

or approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers or clothing

(especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting in serious injury.

●

Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radiator are hot.

High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool

coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.

■

To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Set the parking brake and shift the shift position to P. Stop the hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires to help provide
traction.
Restart the hybrid system.
Shift the shift position to D or R, release the parking brake and carefully apply
the accelerator to free the vehicle.

■

When it is difficult to free the vehicle

Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes
stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

Press

to turn off TRAC. (

P. 239)

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding

area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may also

lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.

■

When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.

Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the vehicle to

accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components

●

Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than neces-

sary.

●

oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.

■

Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the following
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good start-
ing in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE
5W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold

startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of
the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the

oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifi-
cation Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added
to some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.

Fuel information

■

Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gasoline you are

using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not

correct the problem, consult your Lexus dealer.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Lexus dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driv-

ing uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

■

Gasoline quality standards

●

Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.A., Europe and Japan have developed a specifi-

cation for fuel quality called the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC), which is expected

to be applied worldwide.

●

The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission levels. In

the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.

●

The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and improves

customer satisfaction through better performance.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid the

build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/or

keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concentration program.

●

Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more informa-

tion on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to the official

website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as reformulated

gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically acceptable for use, pro-

viding they meet other fuel requirements.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced vehicle emis-

sions.

You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use of
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine
knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A..
