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).

Engine speed
On hybrid 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 dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
• 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 any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Customization
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the ECO lamp) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 650)
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and its components
Vehicles with tachometer: 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 the high coolant temperature warning light
comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (P. 628)

may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious acci-
dent may result:
When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the func-
tioning of the sensor
When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the lug-
gage compartment etc.)
When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
Handling the radar sensor

The Lexus parking assist-sensor can be operated when
Front corner sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift position is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
(At any speed when the shift position is in R)
Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The power switch is in ON mode.
• The shift position is in R.
Lexus parking assist-sensor display
When an obstacle is detected while the rear view monitor system or Lexus park-
ing assist monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upper corner
of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.
Sensor detection information
The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen may show an
abnormal display, or obstacles may not be detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines,
air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer than
they are.
