2022 LEXUS ES300h ESP

341-1. For safe use
WARNING
OIf the seat belt extender has been con-
nected to the driver’s seat belt buckle
but the seat belt extender has not also
been fastened to the latch plate of the
driver’s seat belt, the SRS front airbags
for the driver will judge that the driver
is wearing the seat belt even though
the seat belt has not been connected.
In this case, the SRS front airbags for
the driver may not activate correctly in
a collision, resulting in death or serious
injury in the event of a collision. Be
sure to wear the seat belt with the seat
belt extender.
OThe SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury
especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
OImproperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air-
bag. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly
secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all
infants and children be placed in the
rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for
infants and children than the front pas-
senger seat. ( P.43)
ODo not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
ODo not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
ODo not allow the front seat occupants
to hold items on their knees.
ODo not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
ODo not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seats toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.

Important! Read this information about
exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in
your vehicle is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. It receives
and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

shielding, and therefore emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gasoline
powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances.
OYour vehicle may cause sound interfer-
ence in some third party-produced radio
parts.
QHybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a
limited service life. The lifespan of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) can change
in accordance with driving style and driving
conditions.
QStarting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment (for vehi-
cles sold in except Canada)
When the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is extremely cold (below approximately -
22°F [-30°C]) under the influence of the
outside temperature, it may not be possible
to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to
start the hybrid system again after the tem-
perature of the hybrid battery increases
due to the outside temperature increase
etc.
WARNING
QHigh voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC
systems as well as a 12-volt system. DC
and AC high voltage is very dangerous
and can cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or serious
injury.
ONever touch, disassemble, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
or their connectors.
OThe hybrid system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high
voltage. Be careful of both the high
voltage and the high temperature, and
always obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
ONever try to open the service plug
access hole located under the rear
seat (right side). The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.
QRoad accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
OPull your vehicle off the road, apply the
parking brake, shift the shift lever to P,
and turn the hybrid system off.
ODo not touch the high voltage parts,
cables and connectors.
OIf electric wires are exposed inside or
outside your vehicle, an electric shock
may occur. Never touch exposed
electric wires.
OIf a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not
meant for electric fires. Using even a
small amount of water may be danger-
ous.
OIf your vehicle needs to be towed, do
so with front wheels raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric
motor (traction motor) are on the
ground when towing, the motor may
continue to generate electricity. This
may cause a fire. ( P.361)
OCarefully inspect the ground under the
vehicle. If you find that liquid has
leaked onto the ground, the fuel sys-
tem may have been damaged. Leave
the vehicle as soon as possible.

5Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”
switch for approximately 5 seconds,
and then release it once the odometer
begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the odometer
flashes for approximately 5 seconds and
then the display returns to normal.
QOutside temperature display
OIn the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer
than normal to change:
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
OWhen “--” or “E” is displayed, the system
may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle
to your Lexus dealer.

QDisplay items
 Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
Trip meter A/trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle has been
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip
meters A and B can be used to record and
display different distances independently.
Distance until next engine oil
change
Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.
QChanging the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.
WARNING
QThe information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear num-
ber appearing on the display. This lag
could cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an accident
resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
QTo prevent damage to the engine and
its components
ODo not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
OThe engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( P.396)
