mode.
●By keeping the indicator needle within Ec o area, more Eco-friendly driving can be
achieved.
●Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy created
by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
■Tachometer (if equipped)
The tachometer is displayed when the driving mode is in the sport mode.
■ECO lamp and SPORT lamp (if equipped)
●When sport mode is selected, the SPORT lamp (red) will illuminate.

( → P. 1 8 1 , 2 3 7 )
• The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h (80 mph) or below.
■Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precis ely 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 co nditions are the same.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, 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

1864-2. Driving procedures
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
→P. 4 6 5
■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.

WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle

●When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive
stress on the eyelet, cables or chains. The towing eyelet, cables or chains may
become damaged, broken debris may hit people and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the power switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the front wheels will be locked by the parking lock.
■Installing towing eyelet to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelet is installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelet may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at the oppo-
site end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
■To prevent body damage when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.

Be sure to transport the vehicle with the front
wheels raised or with all four wheels raised off
the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels contacting the ground, the drivetrain
and related parts may be damaged or electric-
ity generated by the operation of the motor
may cause a fire to occur depending on the
nature of the damage or malfunction.
