7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Wh
en

troubl
e ar
ises

Stop the hybrid system. Set the
parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

Remove the mud, snow or sand
from around the front wheels.

Place wood, stones or some other
material under the front wheels to
help provide traction.

Restart the hybrid system.

Shift the shift lever to D or R and
release the parking brake. Then,
while exercising caution, depress
the accelerator pedal.

When it is difficult to free the vehicle

Press the

switch to turn off TRC.

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 com-

partment may be very hot.

After the hybrid system has been

turned off, check that the “READY”

indicator is 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 rotat-

ing 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 inlet cap or

coolant reservoir caps 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 sys-

tem 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

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

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

When attempting to free a stuck vehi-

cle

If you choose to push the vehicle back

and forth to free it, make sure the sur-

rounding 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 shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with

the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-

eration of the vehicle that may cause an

accident resulting in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

To avoid damaging the transmission

and other components

Avoid spinning the front wheels and

depressing the accelerator pedal

more than necessary.

If the vehicle remains stuck even after

these procedures are performed, the

vehicle may require towing to be

freed.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Lexus recom-
mends the use of approved “Toyota
Genuine Motor Oil”. Another motor
oil of matching quality can also be
used.
Oil grade:
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv-
ing”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserv-
ing” or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SM “Energy-Conserving”,
SN “Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS
“Resource-Conserving” or SP
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC
GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-16 is filled into your Lexus
vehicle at manufacturing, and the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 oil is not available, SAE
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 0W-16
at the next oil change.

Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.

Preferred

Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 indicates the vis-

cosity 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 con-
ditions.

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should use.

Use of ethanol blended gasoline in a

gasoline engine

Lexus allows the use of ethanol blended

gasoline where the ethanol content is up to

10%. Make sure that the ethanol blended

gasoline to be used has a Research Octane

Number that follows the above.

If your engine knocks

Consult any authorized Lexus retailer or

Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

You may occasionally notice light knock-

ing for a short time while accelerating or

driving uphill. This is normal and there is

no need for concern.

Fuel information

When you find these types of fuel
label at the gas station, use only the
fuel with one of the following labels.

EU area:
You must only use unleaded gaso-
line conforming to European stan-
dard EN228.
Select unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number of 95 or
higher for optimum engine perfor-
mance.

Except EU area:
You must only use unleaded gaso-
line.
Select unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number of 95 or
higher for optimum engine perfor-
mance.

NOTICE

Notice on fuel quality

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

Do not use gasoline with metallic addi-

tives, for example manganese, iron or

lead, otherwise it may cause damage

on your engine or emission control

system.

Do not add aftermarket fuel additives

which contain metallic additives.

EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under

names such as “E50” or “E85” and

fuel containing a large amount of etha-

nol should not be used. The use of

these fuels will damage the vehicle’s

fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask

any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

Except EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold

under names such as “E50” or “E85”

and fuel containing a large amount of

ethanol should not be used. Your vehi-

cle can use gasoline mixed with 10%

max ethanol. The use of fuel with more

than 10% ethanol content (E10) will

damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You

must ensure that refueling is carried

out only from a source where fuel

specification and quality can be guar-

anteed. In case of any doubt, ask any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

Do not use the methanol blended gas-

oline such as M15, M85, M100. The

use of gasoline containing methanol

may cause engine damage or failure.
