NX300h_U_OM78007U ■
When exchanging the 12-volt battery ●
Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (European Regulations). Also, use 12-volt
batteries with case si zes similar to one prior the exchange and an equivalent 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can not be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and hybrid system may not be
able to start. ●
After exchanging, firmly attach the following items to the exhaust hole of the 12-volt
battery.
For details, consult your Lexus dealer. • Use the exhaust hose that was attached to
the 12-volt battery before exchanging and
confirm that it is firmly connected to the
hole section of the vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the
12-volt battery exchanged or the one
installed on the battery prior to the
exchange. (Depending on the 12-volt bat-
tery to be exchanged, the exhaust hole may
be plugged.)

Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to preven t accidentally igniting the flammable gas
that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery: ●
Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not
unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.●
Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal to come
into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal. ●
Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jump er cables to come in to contact with each
other. ●
Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt
