2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
■Breaking in your new Lexus
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended to
obser
ve:
●For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the
co
rrect fuel. ( P. 4 8 2 )
■For efficient use
●Put the shift lever into “D” when driving
In the “N” position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gen -
erated. The hybrid ba tter
y (traction battery) will be discharged requiring unnec-
essary engine power to recharge.
●Drive your vehicle smoothly
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and decel -
eration will make more effective use of the traction motor without having to use
g
asoline engine power.
●Avoid repeated acceleration
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
r
esulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly released.
●Put the shift lever into “P” when parking
In the “N” position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not recharge.
Leaving the shift lever in the “N” position for an extended period of the time may
di
scharge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is dis-
charged.
■When starting on an incline
The hill-start assist control may operate. ( P. 1 6 2 )

When driving
Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
Intuitive parking assist uses sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to
detect the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles, and informs the
driver of this distance using the mult i-information display, the touch screen,
and warning beeps.
The system may be used at speeds less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Sensor types
Dual sensors
There are 4 sensors installed in the front bumper, two in the center section
to detect obstacles directly ahead, an d one in each corner of the bumper,
to detect obstacles in those areas.
The dual sensors detect obstacles ahea d of the v
ehicle, and judge whether
avoidance maneuvers are necessary (whether the obstacle will come
within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the vehicle), according to the distance between
the obstacle and the vehicle, and the steering wheel position. The screen
display and beeps will change accordingly.
Rear corner sensors
These sensors detect obstacles around the rear corners of the vehicle.
Back sensors
These sensors detect obstacles behind the vehicle.

■Intuitive parking assist switch
Press the intuitive parking assist switch to turn the system on/off.
The indicator light will come
on when the intuitive parking
as
sist is turned ON.
You can use the system if the
power switch is in the “IG-ON”
mode.
If intuitive parking assist is ON,
the s
ystem will operate under
the following conditions;
• The dual sensors will oper -
ate if the shift lever is in a
position
other than “R” or
“P”.
• All corner sensors and the back sensors will oper
ate if
the shift lever is in “R”.

Display distance and beeps
When the intuitive parking assist is activated, the approximate distance to
the obstacle is displayed. Also, if an obstacle with which a collision is pos -
sible is detected, a warning beep will sound.
