2019 Lexus ES300h key battery

3867-2. Steps to take in an emergency
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or
discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the 12-volt battery is depleted,
have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.423)
■When removing the 12-volt battery ter-
minals
When the 12-volt battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the 12-
volt battery terminals, contact your Lexus
dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery
will discharge gradua lly even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural dis-
charge and the draining effects of certain
electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for
a long time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the hybrid
system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing the 12-
volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
12-volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote control or the mechani-
cal key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The hybrid system may not start on the
first attempt after the 12-volt battery has
recharged but will start normally after the
second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery, turn the power switch
off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before
the 12-volt battery
discharged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to
European regulations.
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(60Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (345A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can- not be properly secured.
• 12-volt battery performance may decrease and the hybrid system may not
be able to start.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the 12-volt battery
may discharge and hybrid system may
not be able to start.
●Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a
12-volt battery without a handle is used,
removal is more difficult.
●After exchanging, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before exchanging.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the 12-volt battery exchanged or the one
installed on the battery prior to the
exchange. (Depending on the 12-volt
battery to be exchanged, the exhaust
hole may be plugged.)
