821-2. Hybrid system
IS300h_EE(OM53D89E)
There is an air intake vent on the right
side of the rear seatback for the pur-
pose of cooling the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the vent becomes
blocked, the hybrid battery may over-
heat, leading to a reduction in hybrid
battery output.
When a certain level of impact is detect ed 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 any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically displayed wh en 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.

the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will au tomatically be re-enabled when the alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alar m in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject to
repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported on a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed • When the vehicle is in an auto matic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the follow- ing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such as
leaves and insects inside the vehicle • Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices
such as the intrusion sensors of other vehi-
cles • The movement of peop le outside the vehi-
cle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accessories
or clothes hanging on the coat hooks, are in the vehicle.

●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
