NOTICE

■

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge

Do not use the power outlets (12 VDC) for a long period of time with the hybrid system
stopped.

The power outlet can be used to supply power for devices which operate on 12
VDC at less than 10A (power consumption of 120 W).

When connecting multiple devices, make sure that the total power consumption of all the
connected devices is less than 120 W.

INFORMATION

■

The power outlet can be used when

The power switch is in ACC or ON.

■

When stopping the hybrid system

Disconnect electrical devices with charging functions, such as mobile battery packs.
If such devices are left connected, the hybrid system may not stop normally.

Function and operation of the wireless charger

A portable device, such as a smartphone or mobile battery, can be charged by
just placing it on the charging area, provided the device is compatible with the Qi
wireless charging standard created by the Wireless Power Consortium.

WARNING

■

Caution while driving

When charging a portable device while driving, for safety reasons, the driver should not
operate the portable device.

■

Precautions for when driving

Do not charge small, lightweight portable devices, such as wireless earbuds, while driv-
ing. Lightweight devices may fly off of the charging tray, possibly leading to an accident.

■

Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators, as well as any other electrical medical
device, should consult their physician about the usage of the wireless charger.
Operations of the wireless charger may have an affect on medical devices.

■

To prevent damage or burns

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the possibility of fire, equipment failure or damage, or burns
due to heat.

●

Do not put any metallic objects between the charging area and the portable device
while charging.

●

Do not attach metallic objects, such as aluminum stickers, to the charging area.

NOTICE

■

Preventing malfunction and corruption of data

●

Do not bring magnetic cards, such as credit cards, or magnetic recording media, etc.,
close to the charger while charging, otherwise, data may be erased.
Additionally, do not bring precision instruments such as wrist watches, close to the
wireless charger, as such objects may malfunction.

●

Do not perform charging with a contactless smart card, such as a credit card, between
the charging surface of a portable device and the charging area. The IC chip in the
card may become extremely hot, possibly damaging the portable device or smart
card.Failure to do so may result in the possibility of fire, equipment failure or damage,
or burns due to heat.
Be extra careful to not charge a portable device with a case or cover which a
contactless smart card can be inserted.

●

Do not leave portable devices in the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehicle may
become high, when in direct sunlight, possibly damaging the device.

■

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge

When the hybrid system is stopped, do not use the wireless charger for longer than
necessary.

About connected portable devices

●

Portable devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard can be charged
by the wireless charger. However, compatibility with all devices which meet the Qi
wireless charging standard is not guaranteed.

●

The wireless charger is designed to supply low power electricity (5 W or less) to a
cellular phone, smartphone, or other portable device.

●

Failure to do so may result in the possibility of fire,However, portable devices, such as
the following, can be charged with more than 5 W.

•

7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W or less.

•

Portable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4 (Extended Power profile) can be
charged at 10 W or less.

■

Using the smart access system with push-button start

Charging will be suspended for the smart access system with push-button start to detect
the electronic key during charging such as when the electronic key has been brought
outside the vehicle. When the electronic key is detected, charging will automatically start
again.

■

If a cover or accessory is attached to the portable device

Do not charge a portable device if a cover or accessory which is not Qi compatible is
attached.
Even if a device is “Qi” compatible, charging may not be possible if a cover or accessories
are attached. (

■

Charging precautions

While charging, the wireless charger and the portable device will become warm. This is
not a malfunction.
If a portable device becomes warm while charging and charging stops due to the
protection function of the portable device, wait until the portable device cools down and
charge it again.
Also, to decrease the temperature inside the wireless charger, a fan may operate. This
does not indicate a malfunction.

■

Sound generated during operation

Operation sounds may be heard when the power switch is pressed to change to ACC or
ON, or when a portable device is being detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

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 displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to change:

•

When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 16 mph [25 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

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, 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 braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.

NOTICE

To prevent the engine or components from being damaged, observe the following
precautions.

●

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 "Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place
See Owner's Manual" is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled
completely.
