■The meters and display illuminate when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■Hybrid System Indicator
●Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is in other than the sport
mode.
●By keeping the indicator need
le within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can be
achieved.
●Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” re fers to the conversion of energy created
by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
■Tachometer
The tachometer is displayed when the driving mode is in the sport mode.
■ECO lamp and SPORT lamp
●When sport mode is selected, the SPORT lamp (red) will illuminate.
●When all of the following conditions are sati sfied and the Eco-friendly driving, the ECO
lamp (blue) will illuminate:
• Driving with the shift position in D
• Either normal mode or Eco drive mode is selected, and EV drive mode is not in use
( → P. 1 6 0 , 2 3 1 )
• The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or below. Po w e r a r e a
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is
being exceeded (during full power driving
etc.)
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an
Eco-friendly manner.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop
and restart under various conditions.
Charge area
Shows that energy is being recovered via the
regenerative brake.

1654-2. Driving procedures
4
Driving
■About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply engine brak-
ing.
• When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-fueled vehi- cles, the engine braking deceleration is felt less than that of other vehicles.
• The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven contin uously in the B position, fuel efficiency will become low. Usu-
ally, select the D position.
■When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control activated
Even if switching the driving mode to sport mo de with the intent of enabling engine brak-
ing, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic radar cruise con-
trol will not be canceled.
■Automatically P position selection function
When the shift position is in a position other than P, pressing the power switch with the
vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to change to P automatically, and
then the power switch will turn off.
■If the shift position cannot be shifted from P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt battery in
this situation. ( →P. 5 6 1 )
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
→P. 4 8 6
■Customization
Settings (e.g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 5 9 1 )
WA R N I N G
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift position suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause th e vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an
accident.
■For the shift lever
Do not remove the shift lever knob or use anything but a genuine Lexus shift lever
knob. Also, do not hang anything on the shift lever.
Doing so could prevent the shift lever from returning to position, causing unexpected
accidents to occur when the vehicle is in motion.
■P position switch
Do not press the P position switch while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when driving at very low speeds (for example, directly
before stopping the vehicle), the vehicle may stop suddenly when the shift position
switches to P, which could lead to an accident.

Driving
Driving mode select switch
Normal mode
Eco drive mode
Suitable for improving the fuel economy,
because the torque corresponding to
the accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal conditions
and the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized.
When the driving mode sele
ct switch is turned left, the “ECO MODE” indicator
comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.
Sport mode
Use when high levels of response and fee ling are desirable, such as when driving in
mountainous regions or when overtaking.
When the driving mode select switch is turned right, the “SPORT MODE” indicator
comes on in the instrument cluster.
Press the switch to change the driving mode to normal mode.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air condi-
tioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( →P. 414, 421). To improve air conditioning
performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the power switch is turn ed off after driving in
sport mode.
The driving modes can be selected to suit driving conditions.
