cannot be started, contact your Lexus
dealer.
■ Stopping the hybrid system
Shift the shift position to P, set the parking
brake and press the power switch as you
normally do when stopping the hybrid sys-
tem.

measure, it is recommended that the elec-
tronic key battery be replaced immediately
when the battery is depleted. (P.595)

key when the alarm system is set, the alarm
may be triggered. (P.73)

Release the brake pedal and press the
power switch in step 3 above.
The hybrid system does not start and modes
will be changed each time the switch is
pressed. (P.207)
If you have a set of jumper (or booster)
cables and a second vehicle with a 12-
volt battery, you can jump start your
vehicle by following the steps below.
1 Confirm that the electronic key is
being carried.
When connecting the jumper (or booster)
cables, depending on the situation, the
alarm may activate and the doors locked.

remove the engine compartment
cover. (P.568)

cover.
