When driving
CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)
CAUTION
When the vehicle is parked
Make sure to firmly apply the parking brake and shift the shift position to
P.
Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move, or the vehicle to acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed. Also, when
leaving the vehicle, make sure to turn off the hybrid system and lock the
vehicle.
Sound or shuddering may not be noticed even when the hybrid vehicle is
ready to drive (when the “READY” indicator is illuminated).
Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components.
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi-
cle.
Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the “POWER”
switch to ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning set-
tings.
When the “POWER” switch is turned off, the current air conditioning
settings will automatically be registered to the electronic key that was
used to unlock the vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in
the vicinity or if the smart entry & start system is used to unlock a passenger
door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.

Illuminated entry system
The lights automatically turn on/off according to “POWER” switch mode,
the presence of the electronic key, whether the doors are locked/unlocked,
and whether the doors are opened/closed.
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
If the interior lights remain on when the door is not fully closed and the inte-
rior light switch (door position on/off) is on, the lights will go off automati-
cally after 20 minutes.

High pressure car washes
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity
of the windows.
Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle
is closed properly.
When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a posi-
tion 2 m (6 ft.) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being
washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
Aluminum wheels
Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use
hard brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical
cleaners.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after
driving for long distance in the hot weather.
Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautions before
recharging:
If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to
disconnect the ground cable.
Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and
disconnecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
Unlocking the doors using the smart entry & start system may not be
possible immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this hap-
pens, use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/
unlock the doors.
Start the hybrid system with the “POWER” switch in ACCESSORY
mode. The hybrid system may not start with the “POWER” switch
turned OFF. However, the hybrid system will operate normally from the
second attempt.
The “POWER” switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the “POWER” switch mode to the
status it was in before the battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn
off the power before disconnect the battery. Take extra care when con-
necting the battery if the “POWER” switch mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
Restart the hybrid system, depress the brake pedal, and confirm that it is
possible to shift into each shift position.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at all methods above,
contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
