1763-4. Adjusting the steering wheels and mirrors
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (type B only)
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, the outside rear view
mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in
order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, move the mir-
ror select switch to the neutral position (between “L” and “R”).
Rain clearing mirrors (type B only)
The coating on the mirror has the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect to make the
rear view clearer in raining. When water droplets collects on the mirror surface,
this effect causes the droplets to be spread out into a film.
The rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, when the dirt is adhered to
the mirror or after your vehicle is parked for a long time in underground or
indoor parking lots, etc., where there is no direct sunlight. However, the effect
will gradually recover after 1- or 2-day exposure to direct sunlight.
If you want to restore the rain clearing effect immediately, conduct the resto-
ration work (P. 481).
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers. Turn on
the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers.
(P. 447, 454)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving position mem-
ory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. (P. 163)
Auto anti-glare function (type B only)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view
mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 172)
Using automatic mode in cold weather (type B only)
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, remove any
ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 659)

WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the
shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire
due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a
poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading
to death or a serious health hazard.
When braking
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one
side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
If the electronically controlled assist function does not operate, do not follow
other vehicles closely and avoid downhill or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
The brake system consists of 2 or more individual hydraulic systems; if one of
the systems fails, the other(s) will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

NOTICE
When driving the vehicle
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driv-
ing, as this may restrain driving torque.
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at
the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
When parking the vehicle
Always shift the shift position to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acciden-
tally depressed.
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for an
extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire (P. 590, 604)
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure
to have any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional check the following:
Brake function
Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, transmis-
sion, etc.
Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possible),
and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
If the P position control system is damaged by flooding, it may not be possible
to shift the shift position to P, or from P to other positions. When the shift posi-
tion cannot be changed from P to any other position, the front wheels will lock,
and you will be unable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground,
as the front wheels may be locked. In this case, transport the vehicle with both
front wheels or all four wheels lifted.

CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Hybrid vehicle driving tips
Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is
in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel econ-
omy. (P. 267)
Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicator needle of
Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (P. 107)
Shift lever operation
Shift the shift position to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position to P when parking. When
using the N position, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In
the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be
generated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the
hybrid battery (traction battery) power is consumed.
Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceler-
ation. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (traction motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.
When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing
down.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following
points:

2965-2. Using the audio system
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)

CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Lens cleaners
Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so may damage the CD player.
If discs are left inside the CD player or in the ejected position for extended peri-
ods of time
The discs may be damaged and may not play properly.
MP3 and WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using
MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to the
media/formats on which the files are recorded.
