1 Stop the hybrid system. Shift the
shift lever to P and set the parking
brake.
2 Remove the mud, snow or sand
from around the front wheels.
3 Place wood, stones or some other
material under the front wheels to
help provide traction.
4 Restart the hybrid system.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R,
release the parking brake. Then,
while exercising caution, depress
the accelerator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the vehicle

If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Recovering procedure
WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehi-
cle
If you choose to push the vehicle back
and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking
other vehicles, obje cts or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge
back suddenly as it becomes free. Use
extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shif t the shift lever with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to un expected rapid accel-
eration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the hybrid trans-
mission and other components
●Avoid spinning the front wheels and
depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after
these procedures are performed, the
vehicle may require towing to be freed.

grading.
Your Lexus dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades. Quality
grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performa nce of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variatio ns in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudd en tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Fede ral Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades for this
tire are established for a tire that is prop-
erly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, unde rinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

Customizing vehicle features
WARNING
■Cautions during customization
As the hybrid system needs to be operat-
ing during customizatio n, ensure that the
vehicle is parked in a place with ade-
quate ventilation. In a closed area such as
a garage, exhaust gases including harm-
ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect
and enter the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During customization
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge,
ensure that the hybrid system is operat-
ing while customizing features.

■Soins à porter aux ceintures de
sécurité
Nettoyez avec un chiffon ou une
éponge humectée d’eau savonneuse
tiède. Par ailleurs, vérifiez régulière-
ment que les ceintures ne sont pas
effilochées, entaillées, ou ne paraissent
pas exagérément usées.
Entretien et soin
WARNING
Respectez les précautions suivantes afin
de réduire le risque de blessure en cas
de freinage brusque, d’embardée ou
d’accident.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire
mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
■Port de la ceinture de sécurité
●Ne pas passer la sangle diagonale
sous le bras.
●Faites toujours passer votre ceinture
de sécurité au plus bas sur vos
hanches et bien dans l’axe.
■État et usure des ceintures de sécu-
rité
Inspectez les ceinture s de sécurité péri-
odiquement. Contrôle z qu’elles ne sont
pas entaillées, effilochées, et que leurs
ancrages ne sont pas desserrés. Ne pas
utiliser une ceinture de sécurité
défectueuse avant qu’elle ne soit rem-
placée. Une ceinture de sécurité
défectueuse n’apporte aucune garantie
de protection de l’occupant contre des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.
■Lorsque vous utilisez la ceinture de
sécurité du siège central arrière
Ne pas utiliser la ceinture de sécurité du
siège central arrière avec une de ses
deux boucles déverrouillée. Si une seule
des boucles est verrouillée, tout freinage
brusque ou collision peut entraîner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.

Boîtier électronique de coussins gonflables
Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLIGENTS
(ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applicables
aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). Le boît ier électronique de coussins gonflables
(ECU) utilise les informations reçues des capteu rs, etc. détaillés dans le schéma ci-dessus
de composition du système pour commander le déploiement des coussins gonflables. Ces
informations comprennent des in formations sur la gravité de la collision et les occupants.
Le déploiement rapide des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une réaction
chimique dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant
d’amortir le mouvement des occupants.
