■Changing power switch modes
Release the brake pedal and press the
power switch in step 3 above.
The hybrid system does not start and modes
will be changed each time the switch is
pressed. ( P.177)
If you have a set of jumper (or booster)
cables and a second vehicle with a 12-
volt battery, you can jump start your
vehicle by following the steps below.
1 Confirm that the electronic key is
being carried.
When connecting the jumper (or booster)
cables, depending on the situation, the
alarm may activate and the doors may lock.
( P.78)
If the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The following procedures may be
used to start the hybrid system if the
vehicle’s 12-volt battery is dis-
charged.
You can also call your Lexus dealer
or a qualified repair shop.

6 Start the engine of the second vehi-
cle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery of your
vehicle.
7 Open and close any of the doors of
your vehicle with the power switch
off.
8 Maintain the engine speed of the
second vehicle and start the hybrid
system of your vehicle by turning
the power switch to ON mode.
9 Make sure the “READY” indicator
comes on. If the indicator light does
not come on, contact your Lexus
dealer.
10 Once the hybrid system has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
11 Close the exclusive jump starting
terminal cover, and reinstall the fuse
box cover to its original position.
Once the hybrid system starts, have
the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the hybrid system is off.
●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.
■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 hybrid system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the hybrid
system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt batte ry is removed or
discharged
●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.
●Some systems may requ ire initialization.
