■ When the shift control system malfunc-
tions
If the shift control system is malfunctioning,
when attempting to turn the power switch
off, it may not be able to be turned off. In this
situation, it may be possible to turn the
power switch off by applying the parking
brake and then operating the power switch.
If there is a malfunction in the system, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
■ Automatic hybrid system shut off fea-
ture
● The vehicle is equipped with a feature
that automatically shuts off the hybrid sys-
tem when the shift position is in P with the
hybrid system operating for an extended
period.
● The hybrid system will automatically shut
off after approximately 1 hour if it has
been left running while the shift position is
in P.
● The timer for the automatic hybrid system
shut off feature will reset if the brake
pedal is depressed or if the shift position
is in a position other than P.
● After the vehicle is parked, if the door is
locked with the door lock switch
(P.110) from the inside or the mechani-
cal key from the outside, the automatic
hybrid system shut off feature will be dis-
abled. The timer for the automatic hybrid
system shut off feature will be re-enabled
if the driver’s door is opened.
■ When starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while sit-
ting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress

If the hybrid system becomes difficult to
start, have your vehicle checked by your

■ Symptoms indicating a malfunction

be a malfunction. Contact your Lexus
dealer immediately.
