2007 LS 600hL
In November 2007, Lexus will release the Lexus
LS 600hL petrol-electric hybrid vehicle in
Australia. Except where noted in this guide,
basic vehicle systems and features for the
LS 600hL are the same as those on the
conventional, non-hybrid, Lexus LS 460.
This LS 600hL Emergency Response Guide has
been published to educate and assist
emergency responders in the safe handling
of the LS 600hL hybrid technology.
High voltage electricity powers the electric
motor, generator, A/C compressor, and
inverter/converter. All other automotive
electrical devices such as the horn, radio, and
gauges are powered from a separate 12 Volt
battery. Numerous safeguards have been
designed into the LS 600hL to help ensure the
high voltage, approximately 288 Volts, Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) Hybrid Vehicle (HV)
battery pack is kept safe and secure in an
accident.
The LS 600hL utilises the following electrical
systems:
• Maximum 650 Volts AC
• Nominal 288 Volts DC
• Maximum 46 Volts AC / DC
• Nominal 12 Volts DC
LS 600hL features:
• A mechanical all-wheel drive hybrid
powertrain.
• A boost converter in the inverter assembly
that boosts to 650 Volts the available
voltage to the electric motor.
• A high voltage Hybrid Vehicle battery pack
rated at 288 Volts.
• A high voltage motor driven Air
Conditioning compressor rated
at 288 Volts.
• An Electric Power Steering (EPS)
assist motor rated at 46 Volts.

system motors rated at
46 Volts.
• Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) - dual stage
frontal airbags, front knee airbags,
front seat and optional rear seat side
airbags, side curtain airbags, front and
rear seat belt pretensioners, and when
equipped with an optional rear seat
Ottoman, a passenger side rear seat
cushion airbag.
• A body electrical system rated at 12 Volts,
negative chassis ground.
High voltage electrical safety is an important
factor in the emergency handling of the
LS 600hL Hybrid Synergy Drive. It is important
to recognise and understand the disabling
procedures and warnings throughout
the guide.
Additional topics in the guide include:
• Lexus LS 600hL identification.
