■Enabling 2-way communication with a garage door (only available for com-
patible devices)
When enabled, 2-way communication allows you to check the status of the
opening and closing of a garage door through indicators in your vehicle.
2-way communication is only available if the garage door opener motor used
is a compatible device. (To check device compatibility, refer to
www.HomeLink.com.) Within 5 seconds after programming the garage door opener has been
completed, if the garage door opener motor is trained to HomeLink
®,
both garage door operation indicator s will flash rapidly green and the light
on the garage door open er motor will blink twice, indicating that 2-way
communication is enabled.
If the indicators do not flash, perform and within the first 10 presses of
the HomeLink
® button after programming has been completed.
Press a programmed HomeLink
® button to operate a garage door.
Within 1 minute of pressing the HomeLink
® button, after the garage door
operation has stopped, press the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage
door opener motor. Within 5 second s of the establishment of 2-way com-
munication with the garage door opener, both garage door operation indi-
cators in the vehicle will flash rapidly green and the light on the garage
door opener motor will blink twice, indicating that 2-way communication is
enabled.
■Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
When the following procedure is performed, buttons which already have
devices registered to them can be overwritten: With one hand, press and hold the desired HomeLink
® button.
When the HomeLink
® indicator starts flashing orange, continue to hold
the HomeLink® button and perform “Programming HomeLink®” (it
takes 20 seconds for the HomeLink® indicator to start flashing).
Press the appropriate HomeLink
® button. The HomeLink® indicator light
should turn on.

■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recomm ended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la bel (tire and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label [tire and load in formation label], you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale (tire pressure warning light) when on e or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low ti re pressure telltale (tire pressure warning
light) illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and ma y affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure wa rning system) is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s resp onsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has no t reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal-
function indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
(tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi cator is combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minu te and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will cont inue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfun ctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS (tire pressure warning syst em) malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function
properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specificatio ns or makers, as the tire pressure warning
system may not operate properly.

arate system warning light will come on along with a message shown on the multi-infor-
mation display.
●Malfunction of the ABS
The ABS warning light comes on. ( P. 566)
●Malfunction of th e charging system
The charging system warning light comes on. ( P. 565)
■If “Hybrid System Overheated Reduced Output Power” is shown
This message may be displayed when driv ing under severe operating conditions.
(For example, when drivin g up a long steep hill.)
Handling method: P. 5 9 9
■If “Cooling Performance of The Hybrid Battery Is Low” is shown
The filter may be clogged, or the air intake vents or ducts may be blocked. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■If “Hybrid Battery Low Shift Out of N to Recharge” is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is low.
As the hybrid battery (traction battery) cannot be charged when the shift lever is in N,
when stopped for long periods of time shift the shift lever to P.
■If “Hybrid Battery Low Hybrid System St opped Shift to P and Restart” is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is low, because vehicle has been sh ifted N for a long period of time.
When operating the vehicle, restart the hybrid system.
■If “Shift to P Before Exiting Vehicle” is shown
Message is displayed when the driver’s door is opened without turning the power switch
to OFF with the shift lever in any position other than P.
Shift the shift lever to P.
■If “Shift Is in N Release Accele rator Before Shifting” is shown
Message is displayed when the accelerator pe dal has been depressed and the shift lever
is in N. Release the accelerator peda l and shift the shift lever to D or R.

on the reservoir.Reservoir
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency
if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for coolant leaks from
the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are op erating by checking the fan sound and air
flow. If it is difficult to check these, tu rn the air conditioning system on and off
repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.
Check if “Engine Coolant Temp High” is shown on the multi-information
display.
If the message does not disappear:
Stop the hybrid system and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the message is not displayed:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.

■To prevent an accident or injury when in specting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the h ood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically start, or
the cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch
or approach rotating parts such as the fa n, which may lead to fingers or clothing
(especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) ge tting caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
