781-2. Hybrid system
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped. During start
off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At slow
speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is stopped*
and the electric motor (traction motor) is used.
When shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) is not
charged. When the vehicle is stopped, always put the shift position to P.
Also, even in heavy traffic conditions, drive the vehicle in D or B.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) requires charging or the engine is
warming up, etc., the gasoline engine will not automatically stop. (P. 79)
During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor (trac-
tion motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as necessary.
When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasoline engine
via the electric motor (traction motor).
When braking (regenerative braking)
The wheels operate the electric motor as a power generator, and the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.
Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or B.
The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or B.

For safety and security
EV indicator
Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
During gasoline engine warm-up
During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
When the heater is switched on
Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehicle is
left parked for a long time the hybrid battery will slowly discharge. For this rea-
son, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30
minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and
you are unable to start the hybrid system, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 626
After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or removed
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional. The EV indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is driven using only the electric motor
(traction motor) or the gasoline engine is
stopped.
