1-3. Hybrid system
There are air intake vents under the
rear seats for the purpose of cooling
the hybrid battery (traction battery). If
the vents become blocked, the hybrid
battery input and output may be
restricted, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery (traction 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 minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion 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 authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically displayed
when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
Do not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the vehi- cle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery may be
damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexu s retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) air intake vents
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vents
●Make sure not to block the air intake vents with anything, such as a seat cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the
vents become blocked, the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) input and output may be restricted, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery (traction battery) output and a malfunction.
●When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vents, periodically clean
them with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the vents from clogging.
●Filters are installed to the air intake vents. When the filters remain notice-
ably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vents, filter cleaning or replace-ment is recommended. When clean-
ing or replacing the filters, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Refer to P.309 for details on how to clean the filters.
●Do not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vents as this may cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).

4-4. Refueling
Driving
4-4.Refueling
Turn the engine switch switch> off and ensure that both side
doors and windows are closed.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P.421
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehi- cle has a fuel tank opening that only accom-
modates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank cap
Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to discharge static electricity before refu-eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank
cap and turn it slowly to remove it. A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurize d fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not dis- charged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel
tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel. Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehi- cle.Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite
and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel noz-zle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehicle, such
as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s
painted surface.

the engine after the system is activated.
1 Turn the engine switch to ACCES-
SORY mode or turn it off.
2 Restart the engine.
Fuel pump shut off system
(LC500)

when the engine stalls or when an
airbag inflates upon collision, the
fuel pump shut off system stops the
supply of fuel to the engine.
Restarting the engine
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been dam-
aged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
