■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the wind-
shield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers etc. do not
become caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fl uid until the windshield becomes warm. The
fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelerator
pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/
cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel economy. (
→P. 2 3 7 )
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicator needle of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area. ( →P. 9 8 )
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift position to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in heavy
traffic etc. Shift the shift position to P when parking. When using the N posi-
tion, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In the N position, the gas-
oline engine operates but electricity cannot be generated. Also, when using
the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery (traction battery) power is
consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
●Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make more effective use of the
electric motor (traction motor) without having to use gasoline engine
power.
●Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel consumption. Battery
power can be restored by driving with the accelerator pedal slightly
released.
◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following points:

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures. •Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
•Washer fluid
●Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt battery.
●Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for
the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the
tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water imme-
diately to prevent it from freezing.
●To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any
snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.
●Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated on
the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes.
●Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the
vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehi-
cle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate to the prevail-
ing weather conditions.

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.
