6 Start the engine of the second vehi-
cle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your vehi-
cle.
7 Maintain the engine speed of the
second vehicle and start the engine
of your vehicle by turning the
engine switch to ON.
8 Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
To install the engine cover, conduct the
removal procedure in reverse. After
installing, check that the fixed pins are
inserted securely.
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 stopped.
● 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.
● When ACC customization is in off,
power is still provided to the multimedia
system even though the engine switch is
off.
To turn off the multimedia system, use the
multimedia system power switch. For
details, refer to the “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■ When the battery is removed or dis-
charged
● Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the battery is depleted, have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
