IS300h_EE(OM53C61E)
Start the hybrid system.
To inject the sealant and inflate the
tire, turn the compressor switch on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air
pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and the
pressure will surge and then gradu-
ally decrease.
The air pressure gauge will display
the actual tire inflation pressure
about 1 minute (5 minutes at low
temperature) after the switch is
turned on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air
pressure.
• Turn the compressor switch off and
then check the tire inflation pressure.
Being careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the inflation pro-
cedure until the specified tire infla-
tion pressure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after inflation
for 35 minutes with the switch on, the tire is too damaged to be repaired. Turn
the compressor switch off and contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out some air
to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (→P. 5 3 7 , 5 6 8 )12

Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedure:
Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the exclusive jump starting ter-
minal on your vehicle.
Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal on the
second vehicle.
Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid, station-
ary, unpainted metallic point away from the exclusive jump starting terminal
and any moving parts, as shown in the illustration.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed slightly and

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 authorized
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 certain electrical appli-
ances. 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 battery 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. 9 8 )
●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 malfunction.
●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 dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
