Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
Q: Doyou have tocharge it/plugit in?
A: The Lexus hybrid technology automatically recharges the 12-volt and hybrid
batteries using regenerative braking or by running the engine to generate
electricity. However, if the vehicle has been parked for a long time, the 12-volt
and the hybrid battery will discharge gradually. To help maintain charge for the
12-volt battery, drive the vehicle at least weekly, operate accessories with vehicle
in "READY" mode, and when parking, make sure doors and trunk are closed
and lights are turned off. For parking longer than about 30 days, charging of the
12-volt battery may be required. See your dealership for details. If the hybrid
battery becomes fully discharged and the vehicle will not start, even with a jump
start to the 12-volt battery, contact your Lexus dealership.
Q: Whatmaintenance is required?
A: The maintenance requirements are comparable to what a gasoline-powered
LS 460 L requires. The hybrid battery and motor/generator do not
require ongoing maintenance. However, to keep the hybrid battery in good
condition drive the vehicle at least once every several months for at least 30
minutes. Lexus recommends having LS 600h L maintenance and repairs
performed by an authorized Lexus dealership. To locate your nearest
authorized Lexus dealership, contact Lexus at (800) 255-3987 or log onto
www.lexus.com. Maintenance and repairs not performed by an authorized
Lexus dealership should be performed by a qualified technician following
procedures in Lexus service and repair publications.
Q: Whatsafety standards doesthe LS 600h Lcomply with?
A: Lexus engineers have spent enormous effort to ensure this vehicle meets or
exceeds all of the U.S. government’s stringent safety standards, as do
all Lexus vehicles. See the Owner's Manual and other owner information
materials in the vehicle for important Safety Precautions.
