When trouble arises
ing parts as shown in the illustration
4 Start the engine of the second vehi-
cle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your vehi-
cle.
5 Open and close any of the doors of
your vehicle with the engine switch
off.
6 Maintain the engine speed of the
second vehicle and start the engine
of your vehicle by turning the
engine switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
7 Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the engine when the battery is
discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-start-
ing.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine is stopped.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■When the battery is removed or dis-
charged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the battery is depleted, have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.430)
■When removing the battery terminals
When the battery terminals are removed,
the information stored in the ECU is
cleared. Before removi ng the battery termi-
nals, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure wh at mode the engine
switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the battery.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to European
regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as
the previous one (LN3), 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and performance rating (CCA)
is equivalent (592A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• Battery performance may decrease and
the engine may not be able to start.
