Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehi-
cle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain
electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may dis-
charge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automat-
ically during driving.) Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain that level for approximately 5 min-
utes to recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Open and close any of the do ors with the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off.
Maintain the engine sp eed of the second ve hicle and start the
engine of your vehicle by tu rning the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Once the vehicle’s engine ha s started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse ord er from which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have th e vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer as soon as possible. STEP 3
