window movement is stopped.
■When the window cannot be opened or closed
When the jam protection function or catch protection function operates unusually and
the door window cannot be open ed or closed, perform the following operations with the
power window switch of that door.
●Stop the vehicle. With the power switch in ON mode, within 4 seconds of the jam pro-
tection function or catch protection func tion activating, continuously operate the
power window switch in the one-touch closing direction or one-touch opening direc-
tion so that the door window can be opened and closed.
●If the door window cannot be opened and closed even when performing the above
operations, perform the following proc edure for function initialization.
Turn the power switch to ON mode.
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction and com-

hybrid system is not operating) for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the
power switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent
the 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the power switch in ACCES-
SORY or ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system is not operating.

■When starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while sittin
g in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the hy brid system under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.
■Stopping the hybrid system in an emergency
If you want to stop the hybrid system in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press
and hold the power switch for more than 2 se conds, or press it briefly 3 times or more
in succession. ( P. 5 2 9 )
However, do not touch the power switch whil e driving except in an emergency. Turning
the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control,
however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Do not leave the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of
time without the hybrid system on.
●If the hybrid system is off, but the indicator on the power switch is illuminated, this indi-
cates that the power switch is still turned on. When exiting the vehicle, always check
that the power switch is off.
■When starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus
dealer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the power switch
If the power switch seems to be operating so mewhat differently than usual, such as the
switch sticking slightly, there may be a malf unction. Contact your Lexus dealer immedi-
ately.

■Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is starte
d 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 4 )
●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.

CT200h_OM_OM76215U_(U)4-2. Driving procedures
*: 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.

■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 8 )
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
P. 4 9 3
■Customization
Settings (e.g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 5 9 8 )
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.
