For safety and security
WA R N I N G
Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the parking brake and shift the shift position
to P to stop the hybrid system. Then, slowly release the brake pedal.
Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.
If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec-
trolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact with
your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water or, if
possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.
If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even a
small amount of water may be dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause
an electricity leakage leading to a fire. (
P. 562)
Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has
leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave the
vehicle as soon as possible.

1763-4. Adjusting the steering wheels and mirrors
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (type B only)
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, the outside rear view
mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in
order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, move the mir-
ror select switch to the neutral position (between “L” and “R”).
Rain clearing mirrors (type B only)
The coating on the mirror has the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect to make the
rear view clearer in raining. When water droplets collects on the mirror surface,
this effect causes the droplets to be spread out into a film.
The rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, when the dirt is adhered to
the mirror or after your vehicle is parked for a long time in underground or
indoor parking lots, etc., where there is no direct sunlight. However, the effect
will gradually recover after 1- or 2-day exposure to direct sunlight.
If you want to restore the rain clearing effect immediately, conduct the resto-
ration work (P. 481).
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers. Turn on
the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers.
(P. 447, 454)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position mem-
ory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. (P. 163)
Auto anti-glare function (type B only)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view
mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 172)
Using automatic mode in cold weather (type B only)
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, remove any
ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 659)

Trailer towing
Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Lexus also
does not recommend the installation of a tow hitch or the use of a tow
hitch carrier for a wheelchair, scooter, bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is not
designed for trailer towing or for the use of tow hitch mounted carriers.

2304-5. Using the driving support systems
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Cruise control can be set when
The shift position is in D.
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased by
first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the lever
down to set the new speed.
Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following sit-
uations.
Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40km/h (25 mph).
VSC is activated.
If the warning message for the cruise control is shown on the multi-information
display
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press the
button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels immedi-
ately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
WA R N I N G
To avoid operating the cruise control by mistake
Switch the cruise control off using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.
Situations unsuitable for cruise control
Do not use cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in loss of control and could cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
In heavy traffic
On roads with sharp bends
On winding roads
On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
On steep hills
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
During emergency towing
