When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions. In addition, the
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy.
( P.224)
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicate of Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( P.80)
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position
to P when parking. When using the N
position, there is no positive effect on
fuel consumption. In the N position, the
gasoline engine operates but electric-
ity cannot be generated. Also, when
using the air conditio ning system, etc.,
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed. 
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes gently
and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

Driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season. Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage.
Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.

■Switching between outside air and
recirculated air modes
Operate the outside/recirculated air
mode switch upwards or downwards.
The mode changes as follows each
time the switch is operated.
automatic mode  (outside air
mode)  (recirculated air
mode)  automatic mode
When the system is switched to automatic
mode, the air conditioning system operates
automatically.
■Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/reci rculated air mode
switch to outside air mode if the recircu-
lated air mode is used. (It may switch auto-
matically.)
To defog the windshield and the side win-
dows early, turn the air flow and tempera-
ture up.
To return to the previous mode, press the
windshield defogger switch again when the
windshield is defogged.
■Defogging the rear window and
outside rear view mirrors
Defoggers are used to defog the rear window, and to remove raindrops, dew
and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 to 60 minutes. The operation time
changes according to the ambient tem-
perature and vehicle speed.

■When the outside temperature exceeds
75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air
mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default mode when the engine switch
is turned to IGNITION
ON mode .
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode
at any time by pressing the outside/recir-
culated air mode switch.
■Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C”
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog
up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recircu-
lated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the
vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake mode be set to outside air
mode and the fan speed to any setting
except off.

2926-1. Maintenance and care
3Remove dust using a vacuum
cleaner etc. to clean the filter.
Also, remove dust on the grille as well as on
the filter using a vacuum cleaner.
4Install the filter in its original posi-
tion, and then install the grille.
5 If a warning message was displayed
on the multi-information display
before cleaning the filters, start the
hybrid system and check that the
message disappears.
It may take several minutes before the
warning message disappears.
■Scheduled maintenance of the air
intake filters is necessary when
In some situations such as when the vehicle
is used frequently or in heavy traffic or dusty
areas, the air intake filters may need to be
cleaned more regularly.
For details, refer to “Owner’s Manual Sup-
plement” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.
■Air intake vents maintenance
●If the vehicle is driven with the air intake
vents clogged, charging/discharging of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) may
become limited and the fuel consumption
may increase.
●Depending on the conditions under
which the vehicle is used, the air intake
vents may need to be cleaned more reg-
ularly.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust in the air intake vents may interfere
with the cooling of the hybrid battery (traction battery). If charging/discharging
of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
becomes limited, the distance that the
vehicle can be driven using the electric
motor (traction moto
r) may be reduced
and the fuel economy may be reduced.
Inspect and clean the air intake vents
periodically.
●Improper handling may result in damage
to the air intake vent covers or filters. If
you have any concerns about cleaning
the filters, contact your Lexus dealer.
●The necessary cleaning interval of the air
intake vents will diff er according to the
vehicle usage environment.
■If “Maintenance Required for Traction
battery Cooling Parts See owner’s man-
ual” is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
●If this warning message is displayed on
the multi-information display, remove the
air intake vent covers and clean the filters.
(  P.291)
●After cleaning the air intake vents, start
the hybrid system and check that the
warning message is no longer displayed.
After the hybrid system is started, it may
be necessary to drive the vehicle up to
approximately 20 minutes before the
warning message disapp ears. If the warn-
ing message does not disappear after
driving for appropri ately 20 minutes,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the hybrid battery
(traction battery) ai r intake vents/fil-
ters
●Do not use water or other liquids to
clean the air intake vents/filters. If
water is applied to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) or other compo-
nents, a malfunction or fire may occur.
●When the air intake vent covers (under
the both sides of the rear seat) are to
be removed, make sure to turn the
power switch off to stop the hybrid sys-
tem.
