Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid 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 position to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operat-
ing 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 may be heard from the 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 regenerative braking when the brake pedal is
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
Operating sounds or motor sounds that occur when the brake pedal is operated.
Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.
Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of rear
right seatback.
Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do
not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
Customization Settings
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV indicator) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 650)

821-2. Hybrid system
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
There is an air intake vent on the
side of the rear right seatback for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the vent
becomes blocked, the hybrid battery
may overheat, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery output.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emer-
gency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart
the hybrid system, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the instruc-
tions.

CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
For safety and security
Alarm
The alarm uses light and sound to give an alert when an intrusion is
detected.
The alarm is triggered in the following situations when the alarm is set:
A locked door is unlocked or opened in any way other than using the
entry function (if equipped) or wireless remote control.
The hood is opened.
The intrusion sensor detects something moving inside the vehicle. (An
intruder gets in the vehicle.)
The tilt sensor detects a change of vehicle inclination. (if equipped)
The back door window is broken. (if equipped)
Close the doors and hood, and lock
all the doors using the entry func-
tion (if equipped) or wireless
remote control. The system will be
set automatically after 30 seconds.
The indicator light changes from
being on to flashing when the system
is set.

Triggering of the alarm
The alarm may be triggered in the following situations:
(Stopping the alarm deactivates the alarm system.)
Alarm-operated door lock
When the alarm is operating, the doors are locked automatically to prevent
intruders.
Do not leave the key inside the vehicle when the alarm is operating, and make
sure the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing the 12-volt
battery.
Customization
The alarm can be set to deactivate when the mechanical key is used to unlock.
(Customizable features: P. 650)
The doors are unlocked using the mechan-
ical key.
A person inside the vehicle opens a door
or hood.
The 12-volt battery is recharged or
replaced when the vehicle is locked. (P.
625)
NOTICE
To ensure the system operates correctly
Do not modify or remove the system. If modified or removed, the proper oper-
ation of the system cannot be guaranteed.

CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when the
vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will be set automatically when the
alarm is set. (P. 9 3 )
Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle, make
sure to disable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor before setting the
alarm, as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the power switch off.
Press the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor cancel switch.
A message will be shown on
the multi-information display
in the instrument cluster.
The intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor will revert to on each
time the power switch is
turned to ON mode.
Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can-
celed.
After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the power
switch or unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote con-
trol will re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the
alarm system is deactivated.

Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is
subject to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
Any of the tires loses air pressure.
The vehicle is jacked up.
An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
A window or the moon roof (if equipped)
is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such
as leaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices
such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles
• The movement of people outside the
vehicle
Unstable items, such as dangling accesso-
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
are in the vehicle.
