■

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.
RX350h: When the shift position 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.65)

■

During normal driving

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

(traction battery) as necessary.
Depending on the driving conditions,
the rear electric motor (traction motor)
is powered by the front electric motor
(traction motor) to drive the rear
wheels.

■

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 decelera-

tion force can be obtained in conjunction

with the recharging of the hybrid battery

(traction battery).

●

RX350h: The accelerator pedal is

released while driving with the shift posi-

tion in D or S.

●

■

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

●

When the hood is opened during

“READY” indicator is illuminated

Depending on the circumstances, the gaso-

line engine may also not stop automatically

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 rea-

son, be sure to drive the vehicle at least

once every few months for at least 30 min-

utes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery) becomes fully

discharged and you are unable to start the

hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.

■

Charging the 12-volt battery



P.552

■

After the 12-volt battery has discharged

or when the terminal has been removed

and installed during exchange, etc.

The gasoline engine may not stop even if

the vehicle is being driven by the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery). If this continues for a

few days, contact your Lexus dealer.

■

Sounds and vibrations specific to a

hybrid electric vehicle

Because there is no engine sound or vibra-

tion, it is easy to mistake the hybrid electric

vehicle for being off when it is actually still

running, as indicated by the “READY” indi-

cator being illuminated. For safety, make

sure to always shift the shift position to P

and apply the parking brake when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may

occur when the hybrid system is operating

and are not a malfunction:

●

Motor sounds may be heard from the

engine compartment.

●

Sounds may be heard from the hybrid

battery (traction battery) behind the rear

seats when the hybrid system starts or

stops.

●

Relay operating sounds such as a snap or

soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid

battery (traction battery), under the rear

seats, when the hybrid system is started

or stopped.

●

Sounds from the hybrid system may be

1-4. Hybrid system

heard when the back door is open.

●

Sounds may be heard from the transmis-

sion when the gasoline engine starts or

stops, when driving at low speeds, or

during idling.

●

Engine sounds may be heard when

accelerating sharply.

●

Sounds may be heard due to regenera-

tive braking when the brake pedal is

depressed or as the accelerator pedal is

released.

●

Vibration may be felt when the gasoline

engine starts or stops.

●

Cooling fan sounds may be heard from

the air intake vents under the rear seats.

■

Maintenance, repair, recycling, and dis-

posal

Contact your Lexus dealer regarding main-

tenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do

not dispose of the vehicle yourself.

■

Customization

Some functions can be customized.

(



P.585)

When driving with the gasoline engine
stopped, a sound, which changes in
accordance with the driving speed, will
be played in order to warn people
nearby of the vehicle’s approach. This
sound may be heard inside the vehicle.
The sound will stop when the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h).

■

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System

In the following cases, the Acoustic Vehicle

Alerting System may be difficult for sur-

rounding people to hear.

●

In very noisy areas

●

In the wind or the rain

■

When “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-

tem Malfunction Visit your Dealer” is

displayed on the multi-information dis-

play

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System may

be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer immedi-

ately.

: This function can only be used in the

mainland U.S.A. It cannot be used in
other states and territories, including
Alaska and Hawaii.

This system operates based on the
driving situation and traffic information
to enhance fuel economy.
For details about Predictive efficient
drive, refer to the “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER’S MANUAL”.

■

Predictive deceleration support



When the vehicle approaches to
predictive deceleration support
points registered in the navigation
system, the engine braking force will
be increased according to the driv-
ing conditions to more efficiently
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after the accelerator pedal
is released.

■

Predictive SOC

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the

hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the

vehicle with at least enough gasoline to

make the low fuel level warning light

(



P.513) go off. If there is only a small

amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not

be able to start. (The standard amount of

fuel is about 2.6 gal. [9.8 L, 2.2 Imp. gal.],

when the vehicle is on a level surface. This

value may vary when the vehicle is on a

slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is

inclined.)

■

Electromagnetic waves

●

High voltage parts and cables on hybrid

electric vehicles incorporate electro-

magnetic shielding, and therefore emit

approximately the same amount of elec-

tromagnetic waves as conventional gaso-

line powered vehicles or home electronic

appliances.

●

Your vehicle may cause sound interfer-

ence in some third party-produced radio

parts.

WARNING

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC

systems as well as a 12-volt system. DC

and AC high voltage is very dangerous

and can cause severe burns and electric

shock that may result in death or serious

injury.

●

Never touch, disassemble, remove or

replace the high voltage parts, cables

or their connectors.

●

The hybrid system will become hot

after starting as the system uses high

voltage. Be careful of both the high

voltage and the high temperature, and

always obey the warning labels

attached to the vehicle.

●

Never try to open the service plug

access hole located under the rear

seat. The service plug is used only

when the vehicle is serviced and is

subject to high voltage.

■

Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions to

reduce the risk of death or serious injury:

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place to pre-

vent subsequent accidents. While

depressing the brake pedal, apply the

parking brake and shift the shift posi-

tion to P to stop the hybrid system.

Then, slowly release the brake pedal.

●

Do not touch the high voltage parts,

cables and connectors.

●

If electric wires are exposed inside or

outside your vehicle, an electric shock

may occur. Never touch exposed elec-

tric wires.

●

If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the

fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec-

trolyte from the hybrid battery (trac-

tion battery). If it comes into contact

with your skin or eyes, wash it off

immediately with a large amount of

water or, if possible, boric acid solu-

tion. Seek immediate medical atten-

tion.

●

If a fire occurs in the hybrid electric

vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as

possible. Never use a fire extinguisher

that is not meant for electric fires.

Using even a small amount of water

may be dangerous.

●

If your vehicle needs to be towed, do

so with all four wheels raised. If the

wheels connected to the electric

motor (traction motor) are on the

ground when towing, the motor may

continue to generate electricity. This

may cause a fire. (

P.507)

●

Carefully inspect the ground under the

vehicle. If you find that liquid has

leaked onto the ground, the fuel sys-

tem may have been damaged. Leave

the vehicle as soon as possible.

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

●

Never resell, hand over or modify the

hybrid battery. To prevent accidents,

hybrid batteries that have been

removed from a disposed vehicle are

collected through your Lexus dealer.

Do not dispose of the battery yourself.

Unless the battery is properly col-

lected, the following may occur, result-

ing in death or serious injury:

• The hybrid battery may be illegally dis-

posed of or dumped, and it is hazard-

ous to the environment or someone

may touch a high voltage part, result-

ing in an electric shock.

1-4. Hybrid system

For safety and security

The air intake vents for the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) are located
under the rear seats.
If the air intake vents are blocked, it

could lead to a reduction in hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) output.

If input/output of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) becomes limited and the dis-
tance that the vehicle can be driven using
the electric motor (traction motor) is
reduced, the fuel economy may be
reduced.

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-

WARNING

• The hybrid battery is intended to be

used exclusively with your hybrid elec-

tric vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used

outside of your vehicle or modified in

any way, accidents such as electric

shock, heat generation, smoke gener-

ation, an explosion and electrolyte

leakage may occur.

When reselling or handing over your

vehicle, the possibility of an accident is

extremely high because the person

receiving the vehicle may not be aware

of these dangers.

●

If your vehicle is disposed of without

the hybrid battery having been

removed, there is a danger of serious

electric shock if high voltage parts,

cables and their connectors are

touched. In the event that your vehicle

must be disposed of, the hybrid battery

must be disposed of by your Lexus

dealer or a qualified service shop. If

the hybrid battery is not disposed of

properly, it may cause electric shock

that can result in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid System Indicator

This illustration is for explanation only and

may differ depending on the specifications

of the vehicle.

Charge area

Shows regeneration

status.

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an
Eco-friendly manner.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is
being exceeded (during full power driving
etc.)

Hybrid Eco area

Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop
and restart under various conditions.

●

By keeping the indicator needle within

Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can

be achieved.

●

Charge area indicates regeneration

sta-

tus. Regenerated energy will be used to

charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery).

: When used in this manual, regeneration

refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into
electrical energy.

■

Engine speed

On hybrid electric vehicles, engine speed is

precisely controlled in order to help

improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust

emissions etc.

There are times when the engine speed that

is displayed may differ even when vehicle

operation and driving conditions are the

same.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the correct

outside temperature may not be dis-

played, or the display may take longer

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.

■

Distance to empty

●

This distance is computed based on your

average fuel consumption. As a result,

the actual distance that can be driven

may differ from that displayed.

2-1. Instrument cluster

●

When only a small amount of fuel is

added to the tank, the display may not be

updated. When refueling, turn the power

switch off. If the vehicle is refueled with-

out turning the power switch off, the dis-

play may not be updated.

■

Liquid crystal display

Small spots or light spots may appear on the

display. This phenomenon is characteristic

of liquid crystal displays, and there is no

problem continuing to use the display.

Display items



Odometer

Displays the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.



Trip meter A/trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle has been
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip
meters A and B can be used to record and
display different distances independently.



Distance until next engine oil
change

Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.

■

Changing the display

Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.

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 number

appearing on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing 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); or “Engine Cool-

ant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place

See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the

multi-information display. In this case,

immediately stop the vehicle in a safe

place, and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (
