For safety and security
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
may overheat, leading to a reduction in
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
output.When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the
high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the hybrid
system, contact your Lexus dealer.
A message is automatically displayed
when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
NOTICE
QHybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vent
OMake sure not to block the air intake
vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the
vents become blocked, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) input and output
may be restricted, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery (traction battery)
output and a malfunction.
OWhen dust etc. has accumulated in the
air intake vent, periodically clean it
with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the
vent from clogging.
ODo not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vent as this may cause
a short circuit and damage the hybrid
battery (traction battery).
ODo not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
OThere is a filter installed to the air
intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the
air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For
information regarding filter cleaning or
replacement, refer to P.343.
OIf “Maintenance required for Traction
battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, the air intake vent and
filter may be clogged. Refer to P.343
for information on how to clean the air
intake vent.
