RX500h/RX350h_QG_U
When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, a sound, which changes in accordance with
the driving speed, will be played in order to warn people nearby of the vehicle’s approach.
This sound may be heard inside the vehicle. The sound will stop when the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 22 mph (35 km/h).
If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged. To help
prevent the battery from discharging, avoid leaving the N position selected for a certain
amount of time.
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration
force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
• RX350h: The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or S.
• RX500h: The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or M.
• RX350h: The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or S.
• RX500h: The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or M.
