Hybrid System (LC500h)
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has charac teristics different from conventional vehicles.
Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate it with
care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gaso line engine and an electric motor (traction
motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust
emissions.
For details, refer to the “OWNER’S MANUAL”.
Hybrid System Indicator
Charge area
Shows regeneration
* status. Regenerated energy
will be used to charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being
used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop and
restart under various conditions.

There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move with the
“READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift
the shift position to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are
not a malfunction:
● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats
when the hybrid syst em starts or stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or so ft clank will be emitted from the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), behind the rear se ats, when the hybrid system is started or
stopped.
● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.
● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine starts or stops,
when driving at low sp eeds, or during idling.
● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed or
as the accelerator pedal is released.
● Vibration may be felt when the ga soline engine starts or stops.
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents under the rear seats.
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the
vehicle with at least enough gaso line to make the low fuel level warning light go off. If there is
only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount
of fuel is about 3.3 gal. [12.6 L, 2.8 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)
A message is automatically disp layed when a malfunction occurs in the hybrid system or an
improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the multi-
information display, read the message and
follow the instructions.
