NOTICE

■

Parking precaution

●

If the vehicle is parked for a long time,

the vehicle height may change due to

changes in the ambient temperature.

When parking the vehicle, make sure

that the area above and below the

vehicle is clear, so that the vehicle will

not contact anything if its height

changes.

●

Be careful when parking the vehicle in

an area with a low ceiling or near low

hanging objects, as the vehicle height

will increase when passengers exit the

vehicle and exit control of access

mode operates.

●

When the doors are closed or locked,

the vehicle height may decrease.

When parking in a parking lot with a

device which raises to contact the bot-

tom of the vehicle, make sure to dis-

able the vehicle height control.

tain a safe distance from the vehicle in

front of you, especially in the following

situations:

●

When driving on dirt, gravel or

snow-covered roads

●

When driving with tire chains

●

When driving over bumps in the road

●

When driving over roads with potholes

or uneven surfaces

■

TRAC/VSC may not operate effec-

tively when

be achievable while driving on slippery

road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC

system is operating. Drive the vehicle

carefully in conditions where stability and

power may be lost.

■

Hill-start assist control does not oper-

ate effectively when

●

Do not overly rely on hill-start assist

control. Hill-start assist control may

not operate effectively on steep

inclines and roads covered with ice.

●

Unlike the parking brake, hill-start

assist control is not intended to hold

the vehicle stationary for an extended

period of time. Do not attempt to use

hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-

cle on an incline, as doing so may lead

to an accident.

WARNING

■

When the TRAC/VSC systems are

turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed

appropriate to the road conditions. As

these are the systems to help ensure

vehicle stability and driving force, do not

turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless

necessary.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the speci-

fied size, brand, tread pattern and total

load capacity. In addition, make sure that

the tires are inflated to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will

not function correctly if different tires are

installed on the vehicle.

Contact your Lexus dealer for further

information when replacing tires or

wheels.

■

Handling of tires and the suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or

modifying the suspension will affect the

driving assist systems, and may cause a

system to malfunction.

■

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not rely solely upon the Secondary

Collision Brake. This system is designed

to help reduce the possibility of further

damage due to a secondary collision,

however, that effect changes according

to various conditions. Overly relying on

the system may result in death or serious

injury.

4-6.Driving tips

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions. In addition, the
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy.
(



P.331)

The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicate of Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. (



P.82)

Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position
to P when parking. When using the N
position, there is no positive effect on
fuel consumption. In the N position, the
gasoline engine operates but electric-
ity cannot be generated. Also, when
using the air conditioning system, etc.,
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed.



Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.



Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.

Make sure to operate the brakes gently
and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

Hybrid electric vehicle driv-
ing tips

For economical and ecological
driving, pay attention to the follow-
ing points:

341

4-6. Driving tips

LEXUS LS500h Owner's Manual

Driving

Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.

Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.

Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.

Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.

• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid



Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.



Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.

Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and brand, and that chains match the size
of the tires.

Winter driving tips

Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.

a curve to ensure that vehicle control is

maintained.

●

Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)

system.

NOTICE

■

Repairing or replacing snow tires
