RX450hL
 If the fuel filler door opener switch
cannot be operated, contact your
Lexus dealer to service the vehicle.
In case where refueling is urgently
necessary, remove the cover inside
the luggage compartment using a
tool, such as a flathead screwdriver,
and pull the lever to open the fuel
filler door.
When using a screwdri ver, make sure to
wrap its tip with tape to protect the cover.
 Using the lever to open the fuel filler
door may not allow for an adequate
reduction in fuel tank pressure
before refueling. To prevent fuel
from spilling out, turn the cap slowly
when removing it.
During refueling, fuel may spill out
from the filler opening due to air
being discharged from inside the
fuel tank. Therefore, fill the fuel tank
carefully and slowly.
■When the electronic key does not work

●Make sure that the smart access system
with push-button star t has not been dis-
abled at your Lexus dealer. If it has been

tions:
If the electronic key does not

If communication between the
electronic key and vehicle is inter-
rupted ( P.126) or the electronic

Locking and unlocking the doors

4527-2. Steps to take in an emergency
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■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 hybrid system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the hybrid
system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery 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.
●The power back door mu st be initialized.
(  P.119)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●RX450h: Use a Central Degassing type
12-volt battery (European Regulations). RX450hL: Use a 12-volt battery
designed for this vehicle.
●RX450h: Use a 12-volt battery that the
case size is same
as the previous one
(LN2), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (60Ah) or greater, and per-
formance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(460A) 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 the hybrid system
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 replacing, firm ly attach the follow-
ing items to the exhaust hole of the
12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before replacing
and confirm that it is firmly connected to
the hole section of the vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the 12-volt battery re placed or the one
installed on the 12-volt battery prior to
the replacement. (Depending on the
12-volt battery to be replaced, the
exhaust hole may be plugged.)

WARNING
■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.
