Some parking attendants may not be familiar with the LS 600h L.
To properly operate the vehicle, these basic tips are important:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal, then press the “POWER” button.
2. Begin driving when “READY” light stays on.
3. The engine will start and stop automatically.
New LS 600h L vehicles come with parking attendant key ring tabs, with these
tips in English and Spanish.
When refueling, the fuel door may take a few moments to open.
As part of emissions system operation, it may take up to 15 seconds for the fuel
door to automatically release after the release button is pressed. The Multi-
information Display in the instrument cluster will display "Refuel Ready" when
the door releases.
Running out of fuel.
Do not run your LS 600h L out of fuel. The LS 600h L is not designed to be
operated with the fuel tank empty. If you try to start the LS 600h L with the fuel
tank empty, the hybrid system may become disabled on the third attempt. If you
continue to drive with the fuel tank empty, the hybrid battery will rapidly
discharge and the vehicle will shut down. If you run out of fuel, immediately pull
over to a safe location and turn off the vehicle. Be sure to add fuel before
attempting to restart the vehicle or continuing to drive.
Hybrid Battery cooling vents.
Do not block the hybrid battery cooling vents located
below the rear window with any items. Doing so could
cause overheating of the hybrid battery.
Maintaining charge for your 12-volt battery.
The following will help keep your vehicle’s 12-volt battery fully charged:
Drive vehicle at least weekly. Operate accessories with vehicle in “READY” mode.
When parking, make sure doors and trunk are closed and lights are turned off.
Long-term parking.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long time, the 12-volt and the hybrid battery
will discharge gradually. For parking longer than about 30 days, charging of the
12-volt battery may be required. Your Lexus dealer has details. To keep the hybrid
