Download Hybrid System
Manual DescriptionYour vehicle is a hybrid vehicle, of your vehicle, operate with care, the hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine an electric, motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency reducing exhaust emissions.
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle stopped, start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives vehicle, slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, engine, when shift position N is selected, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged.
In addition, when driving in heavy traffic, use D B, *: However, when the hybrid battery (traction battery) need be, charged or while the engine is being warmed up, gasoline, the gasoline engine is predominantly used.
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery necessary, the power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added that, the gasoline engine via the electric motor (traction motor), the electric motor (traction motor) charges hybrid battery.
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 battery), l The accelerator pedal is released while driving with shift position D B, l The brake pedal is depressed while driving with shift position D B selected, n Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop.
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically, l During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging, l When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) high low, l When the heater switched.
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), battery, does not need to be charged from an outside source, parked for a long time the hybrid battery will slowly discharge, sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes.
To jump-start the vehicle with the 12-volt battery, contact your Lexus dealer, n After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed removed, the gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running hybrid battery, n Sounds and vibrations specific hybrid vehicle.
There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle able, the following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system operating, l Motor sounds may be heard engine compartment, l Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind rear.
Seats when the hybrid system starts stops, l Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid open, l Sounds may be heard from the transaxle when the hybrid system starts stops, l Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
L Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when brake pedal, l Other sounds, such as motors and mechanical noises, may be heard, brake system when the brake pedal depressed, l Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts stops.
L Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side rear left, when driving in Eco mode, the fan noise may be louder than when driving normally, n Maintenance, repair, recycling, disposal, contact your Lexus dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling disposal.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it contains high voltage, system (about at maximum) as well as parts that become extremely, hot when the hybrid system is operating, hybrid battery (traction battery) DC/DC converter.
There is an air intake vent, side of the rear left seatback, when a certain level of impact is detected by impact sensor.
