Hybrid System (RX450h)

■ Hybrid System Indicator

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is

being exceeded (during full power driving

etc.)

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an

Eco-friendly manner.

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.

Charge area

Shows that energy is being recovered via

regenerative braking.

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles. Be

sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicles, and operate with care.

The hybrid system combines a gasoline 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”.

■ Regenerative braking

The motor generator converts kinetic energy to electric energy when:

● The accelerator pedal is released.

● The brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D or S.

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibrations even though the vehicle is able to move.

Always put the shift lever in 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) under the rear seat when

the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid transmission when the engine is started or

stopped, or while the engine is idling.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed

and accelerator is loosened.

● Vibrations may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents under the rear seat.
