HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE OPERATION
Once the READY indicator is illuminated in the
instrument cluster, the vehicle may be driven.
However, the petrol engine does not idle like a
typical vehicle and will start and stop automatically.
It is important to recognise 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
petrol engine may be off and the engine
compartment is silent.
Vehicle Operation
• With the LS 600hL, the petrol 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 petrol engine only.
3. A combination of both the electric motor
and the petrol engine.
• The vehicle computer determines the mode in
which the vehicle operates in order to improve
fuel economy and reduce emissions. A new
feature on the LS 600hL is EV (Electric Vehicle)
drive mode. When activated, and certain
conditions have been met, the vehicle operates
with the electric motor powered by the HV
battery.
• For the LS 600hL, the vehicle can be started
(READY-ON) without starting the petrol engine.
This can be done by pushing the power button
while pressing the EV mode switch with the
brake pedal depressed.
