Driving
■When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assist control is available. (P. 2 3 5 )
■For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it is necessary
to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration, etc. Refer to “Hybrid vehicle
driving tips”. ( P. 2 4 4 )
■Driving in the rain or adverse weather conditions
●Drive carefully, because visibility may be reduced, the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, becau se the road surface will be especially slip-
pery.
●Slow down when water is present on the roadway, because there may be a layer of
water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■Breaking in your new Lexus
To extend the life of the ve hicle, observing the followin g precautions is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehi cle registration laws and confirm the availability of the cor-
rect fuel. ( P. 5 7 3 )
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY” indicator is
illuminated. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator ped-
als to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing th e accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will
result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in oper-
ating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress th e brake and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your righ t foot. Depressing the brake pedal using
your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an accident.

Driving
■Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline engine will
start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up. In this case, you will
become unable to switch to EV drive mode.
After the hybrid system has started and the “READY” indicator has illuminated, press the
EV drive mode switch before the gasoline en gine starts to switch to EV drive mode.
■Automatic cancellation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gasoline engine may automatically restart in the fol-
lowing situations. When EV drive mode is ca nceled, a buzzer will sound and the EV drive
mode indicator will flash and go off.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the “Energy Monitor” display is low. ( P. 9 2 )
●Vehicle speed becomes high.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed firm ly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.
When it is possible to inform the driver of automatic cancelation in advance, a prior
notice screen will appear on the multi-information display.
■Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode’s possible driving distance ra nges from a few hundred meters to approxi-
mately 0.6 mile (1 km). However, dependin g on vehicle conditions, there are situations
when EV drive mode cannot be used. (The distance that is possible depends on the
hybrid battery [traction battery] level and driving conditions.)
■Fuel economy
Your Lexus is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driving
(using the gasoline engine an d electric motor [traction motor]). Driving in EV drive
mode more than necessary may lower fuel economy.
WA R N I N G
■Caution while driving
When driving in EV drive mode, pay special attention to the area around the vehicle.
Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people
and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching
them, so take extra care while driving.

*: For good fuel economy and noise reduction, the D position should usually be used.

■When shifting the shift position to P
Fully stop the vehicle and set the
parking brake, and then press the P
position switch.
When the shift position is changed to
P, the switch indicator comes on.
Check that the P position is illumi-
nated on the shift position indicator.
■Shifting the shift position from P to other positions
●While depressing the brake pedal firmly, operate the shift lever. If the shift
lever is operated without depressing the brake pedal, the buzzer will sound
and the shifting operation will be disabled.
●When selecting the shift position, make sure that the shift position has been
changed to the desired position by checking the shift position indicator
provided on the instrument cluster.
●The shift position cannot be changed from P to B directly.

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 continuously 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 mo de to sport mode 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 2 )
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
P. 4 8 8
■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.
