A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the hybrid system or an
improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the multi-information displa y, read the message and follow
the instructions.

When Driving
1Pull the parking brake switch to check that the parking brake is set.
The parking brake indicator will come on.
2Firmly depress the brake pedal.
and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.
If it is not displayed, the hybrid system cannot be started.
When the shift position is N, the hybrid system cannot start.
Shift the shift position to P wh en starting the hybrid system.
3Press the power switch shortly and
firmly.
When operating the power switch, one
short, firm press is enough. It is not nec-
essary to press and hold the switch.
If the “READY” indicator turns on, the
hybrid system will operate normally.
Continue depressing the brake pedal
until the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated.
The hybrid system can be started from
any power switch mode.
4Check that the “READY” indicator is
illuminated.
The vehicle will not move when the
“READY” indicator is off.
Power (Ignition) Switch
Performing the following operations when ca rrying the electronic key on your person
starts the hybrid system or changes Power switch modes.
Starting the hybrid system

1Stop the vehicle completely.
2Set the parking brake.
3Press the P position switch.
Check that the shift position indicator shows P and the parking brake indicator is illumi-
nated.
4Press the power switch.
The hybrid system will stop, and the meter disp lay will be extinguished (the shift position
indicator will be extinguished a few seconds after the meter display).
5Release the brake pedal and check that ACC or ON is not shown on the meter.
Modes can be changed by pressing the power switch with brake pedal released. (The mode
changes each time the switch is pressed.)
1Off
The emergency flashers can be used.
2ACC*
Some electrical components such as
the audio system can be used.
3ON
All electrical components can be used.
*: ACC mode can be enabled/disabled on the customize menu.

Shift lever
Operate the shift lever gently and
securely in the direction of the arrow
on the shift position indicator.
To shift to N, slide the shift lever in the
direction of the arrow and hold it.
Release the shift leve r after each shift-
ing operation to allow it to return to its
regular position ( ).
Shifting to M is only possible when the
shift position is in D.
When shifting from P to N, D or R,
from N, D, M or R to P, from D or M to
R, or from R to D, ensure that the brake
pedal is being depressed and the vehi-
cle is stationary.

When selecting the shift position, make
sure that the shif t position has been
changed to the desired position by
checking the shift position indicator
provided on the instrument cluster.
P position switch
Fully stop the vehicle and set the park-
ing brake, and then press the P position
switch.
When the shift position is changed to P,
the switch illuminates.
Check that the shift position indicator
shows P.

To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “ +” paddle shift switch.
When the “ -” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range switches to a range that enables
engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions. When the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a range that is one range higher than the current range.
Changing the shift range allo ws restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary
upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
1Upshifting
2Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D6, will
be displayed on the meter.
To return to normal D position driving, the
“ + ” paddle shift switch must be held down
for a period of time.
■Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provid e greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range.

RX500h/RX350h_QG_U
To enter M mode, shift the shift position to M. Gears can be selected by operating the pad-
dle shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing.
1Upshifting
2Downshifting
The gear changes once every time the pad-
dle shift switch is operated.
The selected gear, from M1 to M6, will be
fixed and displayed on the meter.
Selecting gears in the M position
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the paddle shift switches are oper-
ated. Also, the gear will not shif t when the vehicle speed is low, even if an upshift operation is
performed.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situations:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When vehicle speed increases (upshift only).
● When the accelerator pedal is firmly depressed.
● When it is necessary to protect the transm ission when the transmission fluid tempera-
ture is high or low, or other reasons.

Shift lever
Operate the shift lever gently and
securely in the direction of the arrow
on the shift position indicator.
To shift to N, slide the shift lever in the
direction of the arrow and hold it.
Release the shift leve r after each shift-
ing operation to allow it to return to its
regular position ( ).
Shifting to S is only possible when the
shift position is in D.
When shifting from P to N, D or R,
from N, D, S or R to P, from D or S to R,
or from R to D, ensure that the brake
pedal is being depressed and the vehi-
cle is stationary.

*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, set the shift position in D for normal driving.
You can choose gear range suitable for your driving situation by operating the paddle
shift switches.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, yo u can control accelerating force and engine
braking force.
■Driving mode
 P.48
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” paddle shift switch. Changing
the shift range enables the level of engine brak ing force to be selected. The shift range can
then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches.
1Upshifting
2Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D5, will
be displayed on the meter.
The initial shift range when the “-” paddle
shift switch is operated is automatically set
to D4.
To return to normal D position driving, hold
the “+” puddle shift switch for a period of
time or operate the “+” puddle shift switch
in the D5 range.
■Shift ranges and their functions
● You can choose from 5 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower shift range will provid e greater engine braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine revolutions will also increase.
