6Open and close any of the doors of
your vehicle with the engine switch
off.
7 Maintain the engine speed of the
second vehicle and start the engine
of your vehicle by turning the
engine switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
8 Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehi-
cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the battery is
discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-start-
ing.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine 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 battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off. If you are
unsure what mode th e engine switch was
in before the battery discharged, be
especially careful when reconnecting the
battery.
WARNING
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-
tery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or meta l surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and cor-
rosive acidic electrol yte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds.
Observe the following precautions when
handling the battery:
