CT200h_OM_OM76215U_(U)Your Lexus is equipped with several sophis
ticated computers that will record certain
data, such as:
• Engine speed
• Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
•Shift position
• Hybrid battery (traction battery) status
The recorded data varies according to the ve hicle grade level and options with which it is
equipped. These computers do not record conversations or sounds, and only record
images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.
●Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers to Lexus without noti-
fication to you.
●Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunctions, con-
duct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
●Usage of data collected through Le xus Enform (U.S. mainland only)
If your Lexus has Lexus Enform and if you have subscribed to those services, please
refer to the Lexus Enform Telematics Subs cription Service Agreement for information
on data collected and its usage.

Vehicle data recordings

681-2. Hybrid system
CT200h_OM_OM76215U_(U)
◆When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped. During start off, the
electric motor (traction mo tor) drives the vehicle. At slow speeds or when
traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is stopped* and the electric motor
(traction motor) is used.
When shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) is not charged.
When the vehicle is stopped, alwa ys put the shift position to P.
Also, even in heavy traffic conditions, drive the vehicle in D or B.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) requires charging or the engine is warm- ing up, etc., the gasoline engine will not automatically stop. (P. 6 9 )
◆During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor (traction
motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as necessary.
◆When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasoline engine via the electric
motor (traction motor).
◆When braking (regenerative braking)
The wheels operate the electric motor as a power generator, and the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is charged.
When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, a sound, which changes in
accordance with the driving speed, will be played in order to warn people nearby
of the vehicle’s approach. The sound w ill stop when the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).

For safety and security
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and decelera-
tion force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
●The accelerator pedal is released while dr iving with the shift position in D or B.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or B.
■EV indicator
■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop automati-
cally in the following conditions:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the heater is switched on
■Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery does not
need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time the hybrid battery will slowly discha rge. For this reason, be sure to drive the
vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the
hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start the hybrid system,
contact your Lexus dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
 P. 5 7 0
■After the 12-volt battery has discharg ed or has been changed or removed
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the ve hicle is being driven by the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Lexus dealer. The EV indicator comes on when the vehicle is
driven using only the electric motor (traction
motor) or the gasoline engine is stopped.

■Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move with
the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure
to shift the shift position to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrat ions may occur when the hybrid system is operating and
are not a malfunction:
●Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
●Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats
when the hybrid system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), behind the rear seats, when the hybrid system is started or
stopped.
●Sounds may be heard from the transmission wh en the gasoline engine starts or stops,
when driving at low speeds, or during idling.
●Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
●Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed
or as the accelerator pedal is released.
●Operating sounds or motor sounds that occur when the brake pedal is operated.
●Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of rear right seat-
back.
■Vehicle proximity notification system
In the following cases, the vehicle proximity notification system may be difficult for sur-
rounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the vehicle proximity notification system is installed on the front of the vehicle, it
may be more difficult to hear from the re ar of the vehicle compared to the front.
■Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact your Lexus dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do
not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
■Customization Settings
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV indicator) can be changed.

Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high voltage system
(about 650V at maximum) as well as parts that become extremely hot when
the hybrid system is operating. Obey th e warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.

721-2. Hybrid system
CT200h_OM_OM76215U_(U)
There is an air intake vent on the side of
the rear right seatback for the purpose
of cooling the hybrid battery (traction
battery). If the vent becomes blocked,
the hybrid battery may overheat, lead-
ing to a reduction in hybrid battery out-
put.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emergency
shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops the fuel pump to mini-
mize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If the emergency shut off system
activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your
Lexus dealer.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the hybrid
system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
