When trouble arises
One of the following may be the cause
of the problem:
The 12-volt battery may be dis-
charged. ( P.361)
 The 12-volt battery terminal con-
nections may be loose or corroded.
( P.305)
One of the following may be the cause
of the problem:
 The 12-volt battery may be dis-
charged. ( P.361)
 One or both of the 12-volt battery
terminals may be disconnected.
( P.305)
Contact your Lexus dealer if the problem
cannot be repaired, or if repair procedures
are unknown.
When the hybrid system does not start,
the following steps can be used as an
interim measure to start the hybrid sys-
tem if the power switch is functioning
normally.
Do not use this starting procedure
except in cases of emergency. 1
Press the parking brake switch to
check that the parking brake is set.
(P.170)
Parking brake indicator will come on.
2 Turn the power switch to ACCES-
SORY mode.
3 Press and hold the power switch for
about 15 seconds while depressing
the brake pedal firmly.
Even if the hybrid system can be
started using the above steps, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
The interior lights and head-
lights are dim, or the horn does
not sound or sounds at a low vol-
ume.
The interior lights and head-
lights do not turn on, or the horn

of your vehicle by
turning the engine switch switch> to IGNITION ON mode
.
8 Once the vehicle’s engine system> has started, remove the
jumper cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were con-
nected.
9 Close the exclusive jump starting
terminal cover, and reinstall the fuse
box cover to its original position.
Once the engine starts,
have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine
when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The engine cannot be
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine is
stopped.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
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.407)
■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 gradually 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 engine
may be unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■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 engine may not start
on the first attempt after the 12-volt bat-
tery has recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
●The engine 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 engine switch off.
If you are unsure wh at mode the engine
switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the 12-volt
battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it may
not be possible to shift the shift position to
other positions. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both rear
wheels because the re ar wheels will be
locked. ( P.334)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt
battery (European Regulations).
●Type A*1: Use a 12-volt battery that the
case size is same as the previous one
(LN4), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (80Ah) or greater, and per-
formance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(685A) or greater.

3667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Type B*2: Use a 12-volt battery that the
case size is same as the previous one
(LN3), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (70Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(600A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can-
not be properly secured.
• 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 engine tem> 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.)

WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts
any metal in the surrounding area when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or
serious injury.
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the 12-
volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or meta l surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery fluid level is exces-
sively low ( P.305), do not use the
12-volt battery.
