LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
Turns the brake hold system on
The brake hold standby indicator
(green) comes on. While the system is
holding the brake, the brake hold
operated indicator (yellow) comes on.
■Brake hold system operating conditions
The brake hold system cannot be turn ed on in the following conditions:
●The trunk or hood is not closed.
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat belt.
If any of the conditions above are detected when the brake hold system is enabled,
the system will turn off and the brake hold standby indicator light will go off. In addi-
tion, if any of the conditions are detected while the system is holding the brake, a
warning buzzer will sound and a message wi ll be shown on the multi-information dis-
play. The parking brake will then be set automatically.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released for a period of about 3 minutes after the system
has started holding the brake, the parking brake will be set automatically. In this
case, a warning buzzer sounds and a message is shown on the multi-information
display.
●To turn the system off while the system is holding the brake, firmly depress the
brake pedal and press the switch again.
●The brake hold function may not hold the vehicle when the vehicle is on a steep
incline. In this situation, it may be nece ssary for the driver to apply the brakes. The
multi-information display will info rm the driver of this situation.
Brake Hold
The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in
D, S or N with the system on and the brake pedal has been depressed to
stop the vehicle. The system releases the brake when the accelerator
pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D or S to allow smooth start off.

2364-3. Operating the lights and wipers
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the parking lights turn on auto-
matically (at an increased intensity) whenever the hybrid system is started and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel econ-
omy.
■Headlight control sensor
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after
a door is opened and closed if the power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode
or turned off. (The lights turn off immediat ely if on the key is pressed after all the
doors are closed.)
●When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the power
switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s door is
opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode, or turn the light
switch off once and then back to or .
If any of the doors or trunk lid is kept op en, the lights automatically turn off after 20
minutes.
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the power switch is turned off or turned to ACCESSORY
mode and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■Automatic headlight leveling system
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of pas-
sengers and the loading conditio n of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do not
interfere with other road users. The sensor may not func tion properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

2524-4. Refueling
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
■When the fuel filler door cannot be opened by pressing the inside switch
●Using the lever to open the fuel filler door may not allow for an adequate reduction
in fuel tank pressure before refueling. To prevent fuel from spilling out, turn the cap
slowly when removing it.
During refueling, fuel may spill out from the filler opening due to air being dis-
charged from inside the fuel tank. Therefore, fill the fuel tank carefully and slowly.
After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once the
cap is released, it will turn slightly in
the opposite direction.
●If the fuel filler door opener switch cannot
be operated, contact your Lexus dealer to
service the vehicle. In case where refueling
is urgently necessary, the fuel filler door can
be opened using the lever in the trunk.
Closing the fuel tank cap
CAUTION
■When replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Lexus fu el tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incide nt which may result in death or serious
injury.
