IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
Hybrid system
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
Dynamic radar cruise control system
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated management
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions
and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is available on

High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered
vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.

When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated with the shift lever in the D position
The shift range is downshifted to a range that enables engine braking force that is
suitable to driving conditions.

Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situa-
tions:
When the vehicle comes to a stop
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time
When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
Downshifting restriction warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possi-
ble even when the shift lever or paddle shift switch is operated. (A buzzer will
sound twice.)

Snow mode is automatically deactivated if the power switch is turned off after
driving in snow mode.
