In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus hybrid vehicle requires
ongoing general maintenance such as
fluid checks and visual inspections.
The recommended guidelines for
inspections are listed below. Please
refer to the “Mainte nance” section of
the Owner’s Manual for a detailed
description of inspection procedures.
Every 30 Days
• Check engine oil level using
the dipstick
• Visually check engine/inverter
coolant level on the see-through
reservoir
• Visually check brake fluid level
on the see-through reservoir
• Check level of windshield
washer fluid
• Check installation of driver’s
floor mat
• Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage
and wear
After a Car Wash
• Check installation of driver’s
floor mat
Every Several Months
If the vehicle is parked for a long time,
the hybrid battery will discharge grad-
ually. To keep the hybrid battery in
good condition, drive the vehicle at
least once every several months for at
least 30 minutes or ten miles. If the
hybrid battery becomes fully dis-
charged and the vehicle will not start
even with a jump-start to the 12-volt
battery, contact your Lexus dealership.
If You Run Out of Fuel
Take all precautions to prevent the
hybrid vehicle from running out of
fuel. If you do run out of fuel, add fuel
to the fuel tank before trying to restart
the vehicle or continuing to drive.
