■ Automatic P position selection function
In the following situations, the shift position
is automatically changed to P.
● When pressing the power switch with the
vehicle stopped while the power switch is
in ON and the shift position is in a posi-
tion other than P (after the shift position
has changed to P, the power switch will
turn off)
*
● If the driver’s door is opened and all of the
following conditions are met, while the
shift position is in a position other than P
• The power switch is in ON.
• The driver is not wearing the seat belt.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.

is changed to P, operate the shift lever
again.

hybrid system has been stopped in an
emergency while driving.
● When voltage of the 12-volt battery
drops while the shift position is in a posi-

*
: When the power switch is pressed while
driving at extremely slow speeds, such as
immediately before stopping the vehicle,
the shift position may automatically
change to P. Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped before pressing the
power switch.
■ If the shift position cannot be shifted
from P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery
is discharged. Check the 12-volt battery in
this situation. (P.646)

■ For the shift lever
● Do not remove the shift lever knob or
use anything but a genuine Lexus shift
lever knob. Also, do not hang anything
on the shift lever. Doing so could pre-
vent the shift lever from returning to
position, causing unexpected acci-
dents to occur when the vehicle is in
motion.
● In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the shift lever when not using
them.
■ P position switch
● Do not press the P position switch
while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when
driving at very low speeds (for example,
directly before stopping the vehicle), the
vehicle may stop suddenly when the shift
position switches to P, which could lead
to an accident.
