CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explo-
sive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt preten-
sioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have
the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed
of by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional before you scrap your vehicle.

General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle.
Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce
coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There
is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up
or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard them into
the environment but cooperate with separate collection (Directive 2006/66/EC).

581-1. For safe use
CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
Safety information for children
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental
contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the power
window accidentally. (P. 136, 178)
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch
body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

For safety and security
EV indicator
Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
During gasoline engine warm-up
During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
When the heater is switched on
Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehicle is
left parked for a long time the hybrid battery will slowly discharge. For this rea-
son, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30
minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and
you are unable to start the hybrid system, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 626
After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or removed
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional. The EV indicator comes on when the vehi-
cle is driven using only the electric motor
(traction motor) or the gasoline engine is
stopped.

High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt system.
DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe burns and
electric shock that may result in death or serious injury.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts, cables or
their connectors.
The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses high volt-
age. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and always
obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
Never try to open the service plug access
hole located in the luggage compartment.
The service plug is used only when the
vehicle is serviced and is subject to high
voltage.

Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help improve
fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even when
vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same.
Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of
a garage, tunnel, etc.)
When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature warning light
comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (P. 628)

CT200h_OM_OM76102E_(EE)
NOTICE
To prevent key damage
Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of time.
Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
Do not disassemble the keys.
Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.
