multi-information display.
4 Press the power switch shortly and
firmly.
In the event that the hybrid system still
cannot be started, contact your Lexus
dealer.
■Stopping the hybrid system
Shift the shift lever to P, set the parking
brake, and press the power switch as you
normally do when stopping the hybrid sys-
tem.
■Replacing the key battery
As the above procedure is a temporary
measure, it is recommended that the elec-
tronic key battery be replaced immediately
when the battery is depleted. ( P.386)
■Alarm (For Canada)
Using the mechanical key to lock the doors

If a door is unlocked using the mechanical
key when the alarm system is set, the alarm
may be triggered. ( P.74)
■Changing power switch modes

power switch in step 3 above. The hybrid
system does not start and modes will be

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. (T he 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.)
