1-4. Hybrid system

1

For safety and security

the hybrid battery (traction battery) 
may overheat, leading to a reduction in 
the hybrid battery (traction battery) 
output.

When a certain level of impact is 
detected by the impact sensor, the 
emergency shut off system blocks the 
high voltage current and stops the fuel 
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency 
shut off system activates, your vehicle 
will not restart. To restart the hybrid 
system, contact your Lexus dealer.

A message is automatically displayed 
when a malfunction occurs in the 
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the 
multi-information display, read the 
message and follow the instructions.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air 

intake vent

●

Make sure not to block the air intake 

vent with anything, such as a seat 

cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the 

vents become blocked, the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery) input and output 

may be restricted, leading to a reduc-

tion in hybrid battery (traction battery) 

output and a malfunction.

●

When dust etc. has accumulated in the 

air intake vent, periodically clean it 

with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the 

vent from clogging.

●

Do not get water or foreign materials 

in the air intake vent as this may cause 

a short circuit and damage the hybrid 

battery (traction battery).

●

Do not carry large amounts of water 

such as water cooler bottles in the 

vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid 

battery (traction battery), the battery 

may be damaged. Have the vehicle 

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

●

There is a filter installed to the air 

intake vent. When the filter remains 

noticeably dirty even after cleaning the 

air intake vent, filter cleaning or 

replacement is recommended. For 

information regarding filter cleaning or 

replacement, refer to P.340.

●

If “Maintenance required for Traction 

battery cooling parts See owner’s 

manual” is shown on the multi-infor-

mation display, the air intake vent and 

filter may be clogged. Refer to P.340 

for information on how to clean the air 

intake vent.

If a warning light comes on, a warning 

message is displayed, or the 12-volt bat-

tery is disconnected

The hybrid system may not start. In this 

case, try to start the system again. If the

For safety and security

1-5.Theft deterrent system

The indicator light flashes after the 
power switch has been turned off to 
indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing after 
the power switch has been turned to 
ACCESSORY or ON mode to indi-
cate that the system has been can-
celed.

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a maintenance-free type 

immobilizer system.

■

Conditions that may cause the system to 

malfunction

●

If the grip portion of the key is in contact 

with a metallic object

●

If the key is in close proximity to or touch-

ing a key registered to the security sys-

tem (key with a built-in transponder chip) 

of another vehicle

Immobilizer system

The vehicle’s keys have built-in 
transponder chips that prevent the 
hybrid system from starting if a key 
has not been previously registered 
in the vehicle’s on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the 
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

This system is designed to help pre-
vent vehicle theft but does not guar-
antee absolute security against all 
vehicle thefts.

■

If a safety system warning light does 

not come on

Should a safety system light such as the 

ABS and SRS warning light not come on 

when you start the hybrid system, this 

could mean that these systems are not 

available to help protect you in an acci-

dent, which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by 

your Lexus dealer immediately if this 

occurs.

Engine speed

On Hybrid Electric Vehicles, engine speed

operation and driving conditions are the 

same.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display 

monitor may respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the 

driver’s shifting and the new gear num-

ber appearing on the display. This lag 

could cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and excessive 

engine braking and possibly an accident 

resulting in death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and 

its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the 

tachometer enter the red zone, which 

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the 

engine coolant temperature gauge is 

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it has 

cooled completely. (

Manually updating the fuel gauge and 

possible driving range

The fuel gauge and the possible driving 

range are linked. If the displays of the fuel 

gauge and possible driving range do not 

update after adding a small amount of fuel, 

the displays can be updated by performing 

the following procedure.

1

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

2

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to 

change the odometer and trip meter 

display to odometer.

3

Turn the power switch off.

4

While pressing and holding the “ODO 

TRIP” switch, turn the power switch to 

ON mode.

5

Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP” 

switch for approximately 5 seconds, 

and then release it once the odometer 

begins flashing.

Updating is complete once the odometer 

flashes for approximately 5 seconds and 

then the display returns to normal.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the correct 

outside temperature may not be dis-

than normal to change:

• When stopped, or driving at low speeds 

(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

• When the outside temperature has 

changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit 

of a garage, tunnel, etc.)

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system 

may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle 

to your Lexus dealer.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display 

monitor may respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the 

driver’s shifting and the new gear num-

ber appearing on the display. This lag 

could cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and excessive 

engine braking and possibly an accident 

resulting in death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and 

its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the 

tachometer enter the red zone, which 

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the 

engine coolant temperature gauge is 

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it has 

cooled completely. (
