IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
The meanings of each caution symbol on the top of the 12-volt battery are
as follows:
Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable
and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautions before recharging:
If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to discon-
nect the ground cable.
Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and discon-
necting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
The hybrid system may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the
system.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the hybrid system.
Unlocking the doors using the smart entry & start system may not be possible
immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use the
wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it was
in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off the power
switch before disconnecting the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when connect-
ing the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to the 12-volt battery
being disconnected is unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at all the methods above,
contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional as soon as possible.
Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running at
a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt battery
may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is operating.)
When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
For vehicles with an alarm: Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle
when recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery. The key may be locked in the
vehicle if the alarm is activated. (P. 98)
In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart entry
& start system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a mal-
function.
The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery
is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the 12-volt
battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery, turn the
power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt battery
discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
