■When the “TRC OFF” indicator comes on even if the TRC OFF switch has not been
pressed
TRC cannot be operated. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and TRC
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the hybrid system is
started, just after the vehicle begins to move, if the brake pedal is depressed forcefully
or repeatedly, or 1-2 minutes after the hybrid system is stopped. This sound does not
indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occu r when the above systems are operating.
None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slig htly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down s lightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating
when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering
wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input
or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system off. The EPS system should return to nor-
mal within 10 minutes.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC system
After turning the TRC system off, the system will be automatically re-enabled in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the power switch is turned off
●The TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases
■Operating conditions of emergency brake signal
When the following three conditions are me t, the emergency brake signal will operate:
●The emergency flashers are off.
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h (35 mph).
●The brake pedal is depressed in a manner that cause the system to judge from the vehi-
cle deceleration that this is a sudden braking operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will turn off in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned on.
●The brake pedal is released.
●The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that is not a sudden braking operation.

Audio system
CT200h_OM_OM76135E_(EE)
■Traffic information
Press the “TA” button.
TP mode:
The system automatically switches to traffic information when a broadcast
with a traffic information signal is received.
The station returns to the previous one when the traffic information ends.
TA m o d e :
Traffic information can be heard only when a signal is received. The system
switches to the mute mode when a signal is not received. In CD or MP3/WMA
mode, the system automatically switches to traffic information when a signal is
received.
The audio system returns to the mute, CD or MP3/WMA mode when the traffic
information ends.
Audio system mode changes as follows each time the “TA” button is pressed:
FM modes: “TP” → “TA” → off
Modes other than the radio modes: “TA” → off
■Emergency broadcast reception mode
“ALARM” appears in the display in the event that an emergency broadcast is
received, and the emergency broadcast is aired.
■EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are liste ning to is not broadcasting a traffic infor-
mation program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic announcement) mode, the
radio will be switched automatically to a station broadcasting a traffic information pro-
gram in the EON AF list when traffic information begins.
■When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
All preset stations are erased.
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all time s is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●When the “AST” button is used, automati c station selection may not be possible.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
■Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio
The optional radio antenna and tuner are necessary for the use of Digital Audio Broad-
cast (DAB) radio.

3685-17. Connecting Bluetooth® (Lexus Display Audio System)
CT200h_OM_OM76135E_(EE)
Connecting a Bluetooth® phone
When you register a phone, auto connection will be activated. Always set it to
this mode and leave the Bluetooth® phone in a place where a connection can be
established.
When the power switch is turned to ACCESSORY or ON mode, the system will
search for a nearby cellular phone you have registered.
The system automatically connects with the most recent phone that was con-
nected. The connected result is displayed.
When auto connection has failed or “Bluetooth
* power” is turned off, you must
connect the Bluetooth® device manually.
Go to “Bluetooth
* setup”: “MENU” button → “Setup” → “Bluetooth*”
Select the device to connect.
Select “Connect all”, “Connect as a telephone” or “Connect as audio player”.
If the desired Bluetooth
® device is not displayed, register the device.
( → P. 3 6 5 )
*: Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
■Reconnecting a Bluetooth® phone
If the system cannot connect due to poor signal strength with the power switch in
ACCESSORY or ON mode, the system will automatically attempt to reconnect.
If the phone is turned off, the system will no t attempt to reconnect. In this case, the con-
nection must be made manually, or the phone must be reselected.
■Connecting a phone while Bluetooth® audio is playing
●Bluetooth® audio will stop temporarily.
●It may take time to connect.
There are two connecting methods available: automatic and manual.

Maintenance and care
■Low profile tires (vehicles with 17 inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use
snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appro-
priate for road and weather conditions.
■If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tire s as snow tires is lost.
■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly (if
equipped)
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• Lock nuts are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels or wheel
housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
• If wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, air-
port or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off could be
extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has burst, the
warning may not function.
■The initialization operation (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
●Make sure to carry out initialization afte r adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carry ing out initialization or tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the power switch off during initialization, it is not neces-
sary to press the reset switch again as init ialization will restart automatically when the
power switch has been turned to ON mode for the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset switch wh en initialization is not necessary, adjust the
tire inflation pressure to the specified leve l when the tires are cold, and conduct initial-
ization again.
