based on the displayed message. ( →P. 5 2 1 )
When only an alarm sounds, circumstances and correction procedures are as follows.
■Battery-saving function (vehicles with entry function)
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic key bat-
tery and the 12-volt battery from being discha rged while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart entry & start system may take some time to unlock
the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 2 m (6 ft.) of the outside

■For the shift positions
●When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.
●When the power switch is in ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating), the shift
position can only be changed to N. The shif t position will be changed to N even if the
shift lever is shifted to D or R and held in that position.
●When the “READY” indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P to D, N or
R.
●When the “READY” indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be changed from P to
another position even if the shift lever is operated. Wait until the “READY” indicator
changes from a flashing to a solid light, and then operate the shift lever again.
●The shift position can only be changed to B directly from D.
In addition, if an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift lever or
by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, the buzzer will sound
and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will automatically change
to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift position.
●Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P to another position by moving the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P or N to B by moving
the shift lever.
●Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.
*1
• When an attempt is made to select the R position by moving the shift lever when the
vehicle is moving forward.
*2
• When an attempt is made to select the D position by moving the shift lever when thevehicle is moving in reverse.
*3
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from R to B by moving the shiftlever.
*1: Shift position may be changed to P when driving at extremely low speeds.
*2: Shift position may be changed to R when driving at low speeds.
*3: Shift position may be changed to D when driving at low speeds.
■Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to info rm the driver that the shift position is in R.
■About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply engine brak-
ing.
• When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-fueled vehi-
cles, the engine braking deceleration is felt less than that of other vehicles.
• The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven contin uously in the B position, fuel efficiency will become low. Usu-
ally, select the D position.

CT200h_OM_OM76135E_(EE)
■When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control activated
Even if switching the driving mode to sport mode with the intent of enabling engine brak-
ing, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic radar cruise con-
trol will not be canceled.
■Automatically P position selection function
When the shift position is in a position other than P, pressing the power switch with the
vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to change to P automatically, and
then the power switch will turn off.
■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. 5 6 7 )
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery

■Customization
Settings (e.g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 5 8 9 )
WA R N I N G
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift position suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause th e vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an
accident.
■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 prevent the shift lever from returning to position, causing unexpected
accidents to occur when the vehicle is in motion.
■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.
