Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high voltage system
(about 650V at maximum) as well as parts that become extremely hot
when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the caution labels attached to
the vehicle.

For safety and security
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, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
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 warn-
ing light (P. 570) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid sys-
tem may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add to make the
low fuel level warning light go out is about 11.8 L [3.1 gal., 2.6 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 vehicles incorporate electromagnetic
shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances.
Your vehicle may cause sound interference 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.
Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

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 volt-
age. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and always
obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
Never try to open the service plug access
hole located in the luggage compartment.
The service plug is used only when the
vehicle is serviced and is subject to high
voltage.

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 dealer. 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 disposed of or dumped, and it is haz-
ardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage part,
resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid
vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified in
any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke genera-
tion, 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 any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional 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 battery air vent
Do not put foreign objects near the air vent. The hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) may overheat and be damaged.
Clean the air vent regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery)
from overheating.
Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vent as this may cause
a short circuit and damage the 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 any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

2844-6. Driving tips
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Winter driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
•Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size
of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the
water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or
on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before get-
ting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate to the
prevailing weather conditions.
