Driving procedure
WARNING
■
When driving the vehicle
●
If the vehicle is coasting due to the hybrid system being stopped, etc., do not operate
the door locks or open a door until the vehicle has been safely stopped. Doing so may
cause the steering lock function to operate, possibly leading to an accident.
●
When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to difficulty in operating
the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
●
Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only
slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals properly.
●
Depress the brake pedal using your right foot.
Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency,
resulting in an accident.
●
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials. The
exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a
fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
●
Never turn the power switch off during normal driving. If the hybrid system is stopped
while driving, steering and brake operations will still be possible, however, power assist
will no longer be provided and the steering wheel will become difficult to operate.
After checking the safety of the area around your vehicle, stop the vehicle on the side
of the road. In an emergency, if the vehicle cannot be stopped normally, perform an
emergency stop.
●
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep
hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effec-
tiveness.
●
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear
view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are not
outside the vehicle.
●
This vehicle is not designed for extreme off-roading.
•
When driving in sand or mud is unavoidable, drive carefully and avoid continuous
driving on sand or mud.
•
Do not drive on extremely rocky roads or extremely uneven roads.
●
Do not drive across a river or through other bodies of water. This may cause elec-
tric/electronic components to short circuit, damage the hybrid system or cause other
serious damage to the vehicle.
2-2. Driving procedures
160
WARNING
●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do
not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability tires.
Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible
injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle
are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.
●
Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and steering inputs when driving on slick road
surfaces. Doing so may cause the tires to lose traction, leading to loss of control of the
vehicle.
●
Avoid sudden accelerator pedal operations and shift operations when driving on slick
road surfaces.Doing so may cause engine braking or changes in engine speed may
cause the vehicle to slide sideways.
●
After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that
the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from
functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may be affected.
●
When driving in sand or mud is unavoidable, drive carefully and avoid continuous
driving on sand or mud.
Do not drive on extremely rocky roads or extremely uneven roads.
■
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of
the brake discs are exceeded.
NOTICE
■
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●
Do not turn and hold the steering wheel at either fully turned position for an extended
period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
●
When driving over bumps or areas where the road height changes, drive as slowly as
possible. Otherwise the wheels, etc. may be damaged.
■
If you get a flat tire while driving
In the following situations, firmly hold the steering wheel and gradually apply the brakes
to decrease the vehicle’s speed, as a tire may be flat or damaged:
●
When the steering wheel pulls either direction
●
When there are abnormal sounds or vibrations
●
When the vehicle leans abnormally

NOTICE
■
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on roads which have become flooded due to heavy rain, etc. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the vehicle, such as the following:
●
Engine stalling
●
Shorts in electrical components
●
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have
your Lexus dealer check the following:
●
Brake function
●
Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, hybrid transmis-
sion, etc.
●
Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possible), and the
function of all joints, bearings, etc.
If the shift control system is damaged by flooding, it may not be possible to change the
shift position to P, or from P to other positions.
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer.

When engine braking is not performed
When the vehicle is being driven with the dynamic radar cruise control operating, engine
braking will not be performed even if the following operations are performed.
●
While driving in D or S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4.
●
When Sport mode is selected while driving in D position.
■
If a message about a shift operation is shown
To prevent the shift position from being selected incorrectly or the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly, the shift position may be changed automatically or operating the shift lever
may be required. In this case, change the shift position following the messages on the
multi-information display.
WARNING
Avoid sudden accelerator pedal operations and shift operations when driving on slick
road surfaces. Engine braking or changes in engine speed may cause the vehicle to slide
sideways.
NOTICE

formation display.
●
The display indicates that no shift position is selected for more than a few seconds.
■
Hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charging, even
when the engine is running. Therefore, if the vehicle is left with the shift position in N, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) will discharge, and this may result in the vehicle not being
able to start.

Changing the shift position
WARNING
●
Do not let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is selected, or roll
forward while the shift position is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
●
Do not shift the shift position to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage
the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Do not shift the shift position to R while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can
damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Do not shift the shift position to a driving position while the vehicle is moving back-
ward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
●
Changing the shift position to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the hybrid
system. Regenerative braking is not available with the hybrid system disengaged.
●
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or
serious injury. After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current shift
position displayed on the shift position indicator inside the meter.
