Automatic Emergency Calls

If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.

The answering

operator receives the vehicle’s loca-
tion, the time of the incident and the
vehicle VIN, and attempts to speak
with the vehicle occupants to assess
the situation. If the occupants are
unable to communicate, the operator
automatically treats the call as an
emergency and contacts the nearest
emergency services provider (112 sys-
tem etc.) to describe the situation and
request that assistance be sent to the
location.

: In some cases, the call cannot be made.

The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the actual item.

Gasoline engine

Front electric motor (traction motor)

Rear electric motor (traction motor)

: AWD models only

When stopped/during start off

The gasoline engine stops

when the

vehicle is stopped. During start off, the
electric motor (traction motor) drives

the vehicle. At slow speeds or when
traveling down a gentle slope, the
engine is stopped

and the electric

motor (traction motor) is used.

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conven-
tional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your
vehicle, and operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric
motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel effi-
ciency and reducing exhaust emissions.

When the shift lever is in N, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is not being
charged.

: When the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) requires charging or the engine is
warming up, etc., the gasoline engine will
not automatically stop. (



P.79)

During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predominantly
used. The electric motor (traction
motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery) as necessary.

When accelerating sharply

When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine via
the electric motor (traction motor).

When braking (regenerative brak-
ing)

The wheels operate the electric motor
(traction motor) as a power generator,
and the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is charged.

Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic energy

is converted to electric energy and

deceleration force can be obtained in

conjunction with the recharging of the

hybrid battery (traction battery).

• The accelerator pedal is released while

driving with the shift lever in D or S.

• The brake pedal is depressed while driv-

ing with the shift lever in D or S.

While the GPF system (



P.303) is

operating to regenerate the exhaust gas

filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery)

may not be recharged.

EV indicator

The EV indicator comes on when the vehi-

cle is driven using only the electric motor

(traction motor) or the gasoline engine is

stopped.

Conditions in which the gasoline engine

may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and stops auto-

matically. However, it may not stop auto-
matically in the following conditions

During gasoline engine warm-up

During hybrid battery (traction battery)

charging

When the temperature of the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery) is high or low

When the heater is switched on

: Depending on the circumstances, the

gasoline engine may also not stop auto-
matically in other situations.

Charging the hybrid battery (traction

battery)

As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid

battery (traction battery), the battery does

not need to be charged from an outside

source. However, if the vehicle is left

parked for a long time the hybrid battery

(traction battery) will slowly discharge. For

this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at

least once every few months for at least 30

minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid

battery (traction battery) becomes fully dis-

charged and you are unable to start the

hybrid system, contact any authorized

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.
