Lexus Hybrid Drive Operation
Once the
READY
indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, the vehicle may be
driven. However, the gasoline engine does not idle like a typical automobile and will
start and stop automatically. It is important to recognize and understand the
READY
indicator provided in the instrument cluster. When illuminated, it informs the driver
that the vehicle is on and operational even though the gasoline engine may be off and
the engine compartment is silent.
Vehicle Operation
•
With the HS250h, the gasoline engine may stop and start at any time while the
READY
indicator is on.
•
Never assume that the vehicle is shut off just because the engine is off. Always look for
the
READY
indicator status. The vehicle is shut off when the
READY
indicator is off.
The vehicle may be powered by:
1.
The electric motor only.
2.
The gasoline engine only.
3.
A combination of both the electric motor and the gasoline engine.
