receives the vehicle’s location and
attempts to speak with the vehicle
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to
communicate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the
location.

Gasoline engine

■When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops
* when the
vehicle is stopped. During start off, the
electric motor (traction motor) drives
the vehicle. When the accelerator
pedal is only lightly depressed, such as
when traveling on a level surface or down a gentle slope, the engine is
stopped* and the electr
ic motor (trac-
tion motor) is used.
When the shift position is in N, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is not
being charged.
Hybrid system features (LC500h)
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conven-
tional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your
vehicle, and operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor
(traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and
reducing exhaust emissions.
In addition to the conventional system, exclusive control is performed for four
driving conditions (starting off, acce lerating, low-speed driving and high-
speed cruising) to optimize the drive fo rce and fuel efficiency, allowing for a
more powerful drive and a higher fuel efficiency.

be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 3.3 gal. [12.6 L, 2.8 Imp.gal.],
when the vehicle is on a level surface. This
value may vary when the vehicle is on a
slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves

650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts that become extremely hot when
the hybrid system is operating. Obey th e warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.
