Best past fuel consumption
Average fuel consumption
Displays the average fuel con-
sumption between each reset of
the total average fuel consump-
tion on the multi-information dis-
play.
When resetting, if the total average
fuel consumption is better than the
best past fuel consumption, the
best past fuel consumption will be
updated.
These images are examples only, and may vary slightly from actual con-
ditions.

Resetting the consumption data
Selecting on the screen will reset the average fuel con-
sumption. Selecting on the screen will reset the past
records. Selecting will confirm resetting of all the data (except
cruising range).
Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with the quan-
tity of fuel remaining.
This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption.
As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that dis-
played.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following
points:
Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improv-
ing the fuel economy.
(P. 206)
Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (P. 219)
When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel consumption. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When
encountering a delay, gently release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the
accelerator pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline
consumption.
Highway driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
ldllhbkA fli

Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
control excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode.
Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioner and
reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut
out until the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are
warm, it will consume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be
improved by avoiding overuse of the heater.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel consumption. Use a tire that is
appropriate for the season.
Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid
carrying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also
cause poor fuel consumption.
Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, frequently
driving short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly warm up,
which can lead to poor fuel consumption.

Using the mechanical key
To take out the mechanical key:
Electronic keys: Slide the
release lever and take the key
out.
Card key: Press the lock release
button and take the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one
side. If the key cannot be
inserted in a lock cylinder, turn
it over and re-attempt to insert
it.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key.
Carry the mechanical key
together with the electronic key.
If the electronic key battery is
depleted or the entry function
does not operate properly, you
will need the mechanical key.
(P. 617)

Card key
The mechanical key that is stored inside the card key should be used
only if a problem arises, such as when the card key does not operate
properly.
If it is difficult to take out the mechanical key, push down the lock
release button using a pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to pull it out, use a
coin etc.
The card key is not waterproof.
To store the mechanical key in the
card key, insert it while pressing the

When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 442)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant
with the electronic key only.
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a mechanical key is lost, a new key can be made at any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional using the key number plate. (P. 616)
When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not
press any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you
are carrying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the elec-
tronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the
aircraft.
