Important! Read this information about 
exposure to radio frequency signals 
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in 
your vehicle is a low-power radio 
transmitter and receiver. It receives 
and also sends out radio frequency 
(RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted 
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set by the 
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement) 
Report 86 [1986]

ICNIRP (International Commission 
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-

Safety information for Safety 
Connect

tion) [1996]

Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. Over 
120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries 
reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It has characteristics different from 
conventional 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.

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.61)

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 decelera-

tion 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.

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 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid 

battery (traction battery) becomes fully dis-

charged and you  are unable to start the 

hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.

Charging the 12-volt battery

P.400

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 

battery (traction battery). If this continues 

for a few days, contact your Lexus dealer.

Sounds and vibrations specific to a 

Hybrid Electric Vehicle

There may be no engine sound or vibration 

even though the vehicle is able to move with 

the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For 

safety, apply the parking brake and make 

sure to shift the shift lever to P 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), behind the rear 

seats, when the hybrid system is started 

or stopped.

Sounds from the hybrid system may be 

heard when the back door is open.

Sounds may be heard from the hybrid 

transmission 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 vent under the right side of 

the rear seat.

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

Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV 

indicator) can be changed.

(Customizable features: 

P.427)

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

Also, as the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-

tem is installed on the front of the vehicle, it 

may be more difficult to hear from the rear 

of the vehicle compared to the front.

*

: 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.

Predictive SOC

*

 control

The following types of control are per-
formed based on data such as road 
and traffic information during route 
guidance by the navigation system to 
help ensure that the vehicle efficiently 
uses electricity.

When there is a long downhill slope 
along the route, the system reduces 
the hybrid battery (traction battery) 
level before reaching the slope to 
help ensure charging capacity for 
regenerative braking while traveling 
downhill.

When traffic congestion is pre-
dicted along the route, the system 
helps ensure a certain battery level 
before reaching congested roads to 
reduce the frequency of starting the 
engine to charge the hybrid battery 
(traction battery) due to low battery 
levels.

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.382) 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 1.8 gal. [7.0 L, 1.5 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.

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a 

limited service life. The lifespan of the 

hybrid battery (traction battery) can change 

in accordance with driving style and driving 

conditions.

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 underneath the 

rear seats. 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:

Pull your vehicle off the road, shift the 

shift lever to P, apply the parking 

brake, and turn the hybrid system off.

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 

electric 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.

66

1-4. Hybrid system

There is an air intake vent under the 
right side of the rear seat with the pur-
pose of cooling the hybrid battery 
(traction battery).
If the vent is blocked, it may interfere 
with the cooling of the hybrid battery 
(traction battery).

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.

WARNING

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 front wheels (2WD models) or 

four wheels (AWD models) 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.373)

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 Lexus dealers. Do 

not dispose of the battery yourself.

Unless the battery is properly collected, 
the following may occur, resulting 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.

• The hybrid battery is intended to be 

used exclusively with your Hybrid 

Electric Vehicle. If the hybrid battery is 

used outside of your vehicle or modi-

fied in any way, accidents such as elec-

tric shock, heat generation, smoke 

generation, an explosion and electro-

lyte 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 prop-

erly, it may cause electric shock that 

can result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

Do not carry large amounts of water 

such as water cooler bottles in the vehi-

cle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery 

(traction battery), the battery may be 

damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by 

your Lexus dealer.

For safety and security

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.

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 

“READY” indicator does not come on, con-

tact your Lexus dealer.

NOTICE

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air 

intake vent

Make sure not to block the air intake 

vent with anything, such as a seat 

cover, luggage, or carpet. The 

input/output of the hybrid battery 

(traction battery) may be restricted, 

leading to a reduction in hybrid battery 

(traction battery) output and a mal-

function.

Periodically clean the air intake vent to 

prevent it from clogging. (

P.356)

Do not get water or foreign materials 

in the air intake vent as this may cause

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 of the tachom-

eter enter the red zone, which indi-

cates the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the

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 of the tachom-

eter enter the red zone, which indi-

cates 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. (
