battery) may overheat, leading to a
reduction in hybrid battery (traction
battery) output.
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 your Lexus dealer.
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
message and follow the instructions.
■If a warning light comes on, a warning
message is displayed, or the 12-volt bat-
tery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In this
case, try to start the system again. If the
“READY” indicator does not come on, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vent
●Make sure not to block the air intake
vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, luggage or carpet. The hybrid
battery (traction battery) may over-
heat, leading to poor fuel economy.
●Clean the air intake vent regularly to
prevent the hybrid battery (traction
battery) from overheating.
●Do not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vent as this may cause
a short circuit and damage the hybrid
battery (traction battery).
●A filter is installed to the air intake vent.
When the filter remains noticeably
dirty even after cleaning the air intake
vent, filter cleaning or replacement is
recommended. When cleaning or
replacing the filter, contact your Lexus
dealer.
Refer to P.365 for details on how to
clean the filter.

WARNING
The engine compartment contains many
mechanisms and fluids that may move
suddenly, become hot, or become elec-
trically energized. To avoid death or seri-
ous injury, observe the following
precautions.
■When working on the engine com-
partment
●Make sure that “IGNITION ON” on
the multi-information display and the
“READY” indicator are both off.
●Keep hands, clothi ng and tools away
from the moving fan and engine drive
belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they
may be hot. Oil and other fluids may
also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn
easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose
an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes are
flammable.
■When working near the electric cool-
ing fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is OFF.
With power switch in ON, the electric
cooling fans may automatically start to
run if the air conditioning is on and/or the
coolant temperature is high. ( P.340)
ItemsParts and tools■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or
falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
ting in your eyes.

■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine
wear due to dirt in the air.

filter.
Remove the dust from the air intake
vent with a vacuum cleaner etc.
Make sure to only use a vacuum to suck
out dust and clogs. Attempting to blow out
dust and clogs using an airgun etc. may
push it into the air intake vent.
If dust and clogs cannot be completely
removed with the air intake vent cover
installed, remove the cover and clean
NOTICE
■When using the air conditioning sys-
tem
Make sure that a filter is always installed.
Using the air conditioning system without
a filter may cause damage to the system.
■To prevent damage to the filter cover
When moving the filter cover in the
direction of arrow to release the fitting,
pay attention not to apply excessive force
to the claws. Otherwise, the claws may
be damaged.

v
ent and filter
To prevent the fuel economy from
being affected, visually inspect the
hybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vent periodically for dust and
clogs. If it is dusty or clogged or if
“Maintenance required for Traction
battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, clean the air intake
vent using the following proce-
dures:

7Install the air intake vent cover.
1
Insert the tab of the cover as shown
in the illustration.
2
Push the cover to engage the 5
claws.
8
Using a Phillips screwdriver, install
the clip.
■Scheduled maintenance of the air
intake vent is necessary when
In some situations such as when the vehicle
is used frequently or in heavy traffic or dusty
areas, the air intake vent may need to be
cleaned more regularly. For details, refer to
the “Warranty and Service Guide”,
“Owner’s Manual Supplement” or “Sched-
uled Maintenance”.
■Cleaning the air intake vent
●Dust in the air intake vent may interfere
with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/discharging
of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
becomes limited, the distance that the
vehicle can be driven using the electric
motor (traction motor) may be reduced
and the fuel economy may be reduced. Inspect and clean the air intake vent peri-
odically.
●Improper handling of the air intake vent
cover and filter may result in damage to
them. If you have any concerns about
cleaning the filter, contact your Lexus
dealer.
■If “Maintenance required for Traction
battery cooling parts See owner’s man-
ual” is shown on the multi-information
display
●If this warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, remove the air
intake vent cover and clean the filter.
(
P.365)
●After cleaning the air intake vent, start
the hybrid system and check that the
warning message is no longer shown. It
may take approximately 20 minutes after
the hybrid system is started until the
warning message disappears. If the warn-
ing message does not disappear, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the air intake vent
●Do not use water or other liquids to
clean the air intake vent. If water is
applied to the hybrid battery (traction
battery) or other components, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake vent,
make sure to turn the power switch off
to stop the hybrid system.
■When removing the air intake vent
cover
Do not touch the service plug located
near the air intake vent. ( P.66)

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn
off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the
dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”
or equivalent to satisfy the following
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API SN/RC multigrade
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for good
fuel economy and good starting in cold
weather.
