When driving

CAUTION
When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the hybrid
system operating. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
When driving the vehicle
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident
that could result in death or serious injury.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty 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 acceler-
ator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is
powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). Because there is no
engine noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materi-
als.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
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.

CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)
Selecting a driving mode
The following modes can be selected to suit driving condi-
tions:
Normal mode
Eco drive mode
Suitable for improving the
fuel economy, because the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated
more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions and the
operation of the air condi-
tioning system (heating/cool-
ing) will be minimized.
When the driving mode
select switch is turned left,
the “ECO MODE” indicator
comes on in the instrument
cluster.
Press the switch to change
the driving mode to normal
mode.
Sport mode
Use when high levels of
response and feeling are
desirable, such as when driv-
ing in mountainous regions
or when overtaking.
When the driving mode
select switch is turned right,
the “SPORT MODE” indica-
tor comes on in the instru-
ment cluster

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and should
not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly,
or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road surfaces
TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to
turn the steering wheel

Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys (vehicles with smart
entry & start system)
Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the “POWER”
switch to ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning set-
tings.
When the “POWER” switch is turned off, the current air conditioning
settings will automatically be registered to the electronic key that was
used to unlock the vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in
the vicinity or if the smart entry & start system is used to unlock a passenger
door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
