General Information

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction motor) according to

driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.

Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it contains a high voltage system (about 650V at maximum) as

well as parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the caution labels attached

to the vehicle.

Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle:

There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move. Always change the shift

position to P when parked.

The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are not a malfunction:

Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats when the hybrid

system starts or stops.

Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.

Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the cargo area lid is open.

Sounds may be heard from the transaxle when the hybrid system starts or stops, or while the vehicle is

idling.

Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed and accelerator

is loosened.

Other sounds, such as motors and mechanical noises, may be heard from the brake system when the

brake pedal is depressed.

Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of rear left seatback. When

driving in Eco mode, the fan noise may be louder than when driving normally.

GENERAL TOWING INFORMATION

EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY:

To eliminate the need to remove the eyebolt from the vehicle’s tool kit during loading or recovery, a

screw-in eyebolt is available from any authorized Lexus dealer’s parts department.

Towing Eyebolt Part number 5196148202

The towing and tie-down equipment discussed in this guide is available through AW Direct, a preferred

AAA supplier. Contact your local AAA club representative for special offers available to AAA

contractors.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:

The ES300h has a locking steering column with Push-Button start

If the vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the wheels connected to the electric

motor (traction motor) are on the ground when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity.

This may cause electricity leakage leading to a fire.

Wheel-lift and car carrier equipment are authorized methods of transporting this vehicle. A car carrier is

the preferred method of transporting. THERE IS NO APPROVED PROCEDURE FOR THE USE OF

SLING-TYPE EQUIPMENT ON THIS VEHICLE.

When loading or pulling the ES300h, DO NOT USE HOOKS OF ANY TYPE ON THE LOWER

CONTROL ARMS. Follow only the approved loading procedures specified in the following pages and

listed in the AAA/CAA Towing & Service Manual.

In an emergency situation where the vehicle will not roll or must be moved for towing access, wheel-

jacking equipment, such as GoJaks are recommended.

Shifting out of Park and into Neutral:

The vehicle may be shifted out of Park into Neutral by pressing the POWER button to attain either Ignition-on

or READY-on modes. To select Neutral, press the brake pedal while moving the shifter from Park

If the 12-Volt auxiliary battery is discharged, the vehicle will not start. However, shifting out of Park is possible

using the manual override procedure listed on page 13 of this guide.

CAR CARRIER LOADING AND TRANSPORTING:

The use of car carrier equipment is the preferred method of transporting a Lexus ES300h vehicle.

Note: The curb weight for the ES300h is 3,660 lbs/2,196 kg

The ES300h has a moderate amount of ground clearance at front and rear. Loading onto a conventional car

carrier may require additional ramping in some circumstances. However, clearance at the trailing end of the

vehicle should always be monitored as it is loaded.

The towing eyebolt can be used for front loading of the ES300h. The eyebolt is located in a tool tray located in

the rear cargo area; however exact placement depends on the type of spare tire the vehicle is equipped with

(See Figure 1 and 2).

Figure 1 Figure 2

Compact Spare Eyebolt in location (2) Full Size Spare Eyebolt in location (1)

If the towing eyebolt is missing or otherwise inaccessible, the tie-down slots on the undercarriage can be used

to load the vehicle.

NOTE: Use a plastic trim tool or a plastic card, such as an old credit card to avoid damaging the painted

surface when removing the plug from the bumper to gain access to the eyebolt receiver. The eyebolt on this

model has RIGHT-HAND THREADS. Screw the eyebolt clockwise into the front pull point and ensure that it is

tight. Attach the winch line to the eyebolt with the open side of the hook facing upward (See Figure 3, 4 and 5).

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5

Before loading, ensure that the transmission is in “Neutral”. When loading, remember that the eyebolts are

designed for a straight ahead pull within a 20 degree window, so stop the vehicle as the winch wire rope

begins to pull downward. To prevent too much downward pull you will need to keep the leading edge of the

ES300h about 2 feet or more from the winch drum.

Once loaded, set the parking brake and secure the vehicle onto the carrier.

Figure 6 (Tie-down points)

After securing, return the bed to the transporting position, then slacken the winch wire rope slightly to prevent

downward pull on the towing eyebolt as bumps are encountered during transport. Make sure that the ignition

is in the OFF position and the smart key is located in the cab of the tow vehicle.

WHEEL-LIFT TOWING PROCEDURE:

If a wheel-lift is used, the procedures shown below must be followed. Refer to the AAA/CAA Tow and

Service Manual for detailed information regarding towing this vehicle. Follow all general towing

precautions.

Front Tow:

To tow ES300h with a wheel-lift from the front of the vehicle, observe the following:

Secure the front wheels firmly to the wheel-lift

Use a steering wheel securing device

Attach safety chains and tow lights to the vehicle

Ensure that the ignition is turned OFF to prevent unnecessary battery drain and smart key is removed

from the vehicle and placed in the cab of the tow vehicle

Rear Tow:

To tow ES300h with a wheel-lift and dolly, observe the following:

Secure the rear wheels firmly to the wheel-lift and the front set of wheels firmly to the dolly

After loading the ES300h onto the dolly and wheel-lift, place the transmission in Park and set the

parking brake

Use a steering wheel securing device

Attach safety chains and tow lights to the vehicle

Ensure that the ignition is turned OFF to prevent unnecessary battery drain and smart key is removed

from the vehicle and placed in the cab of the tow vehicle

NOTE: Lexus states that the four tie-

down slots in the frame can be used to

secure the vehicle. Slots are provided in

the frame to take either “T” or “mini-J”

type hooks (Figure 6).

Do not overly tighten the tie-downs or

the vehicle may be damaged. AAA

recommends the use of wheel strap tie-

downs around each wheel.

EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE PROCEDURES

JACKING and TIRE SERVICE:

The jack supplied with the ES300h is located in the tray beneath the rear cargo liner. The location of the jack

and tire changing tools is affected by the type of spare tire the vehicle is equipped with. Below are images of

the two different layouts with the jack being in position 3 (See Figure 7 and 8).

Figure 7 Compact Spare Figure 8 Full Size Spare

The approved lifting locations for the factory jack are on the pinch weld or rocker sills, located inboard of the

wheels.

Observe all standard jacking precautions. Ensure that the vehicle is on firm, level ground and chock the wheel

diagonal from the one you will be raising. Prior to jacking the vehicle, loosen the lug nuts. As the jack comes

in contact with the vehicle body, ensure that it is contacting the correct location on the vehicle. Figure 9 shows

the location for the factory jack while Figure 10 show the jacking and lifting locations for a trolley jack and

hoist. Continue lifting to raise the vehicle high enough to change the tire.

CAUTION: Locating the proper lifting points along the sides of the vehicle can be difficult due the

shape of the lower body panels. To avoid damage, ensure that the jack you are using is properly

placed in its correct location before lifting the vehicle.

Figure 9 Figure 10

Clean all debris or rust from the tire mounting surfaces. Use a rag and or wire brush (Figure 11).

Figure 11 Figure 12

Install the spare tire and tighten lug nuts. On an aluminum spare wheel, the nut washer should contact the

wheel surface. On a steel spare wheel, the tapered portion of the lug nut should contact the wheel surface.

Firmly tighten each wheel nut two or three times in the order shown in the illustration below (Figure 12).

Lug Nut Tightening Specification: Tightening torque: 76 ft•lbs/103 N•m/ 10.5 kgf•m

When using the compact spare tire:

As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low inflation

pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the

compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.

NOTE: If the compact spare is used when the road surface is snowy or icy, it needs to be installed on

the rear only. If the vehicle has a front flat, install the compact spare on the rear and move a good

road wheel from the rear axle to the front axle for safety reasons.

CAUTION: Before mounting the spare tire on the vehicle, ensure that the rim and axle mounting

surfaces are clean and free from dirt and corrosion. If the spare rim is badly corroded, mounting the

spare on the vehicle is not recommended. Instead, transport the vehicle to a repair facility to have

the problem corrected.

STOWING THE DEFLATED ROAD WHEEL:

The deflated road wheel can be stored in the rear cargo area in the same location as the spare wheel. Use

caution not to damage the wheel nor pinch your hand between the wheel and the trunk surface when stowing

the deflated tire. The center wheel ornament will need to be removed from the road wheel in order to secure

the wheel in the rear cargo area.

After completing the tire change

The tire pressure warning system must be reset.

How to initialize the tire pressure warning system:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the “POWER” switch off. Initialization cannot be performed

while the vehicle is moving.

2. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. Make sure to

adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. The tire pressure warning

system will operate based on this pressure level.

3. Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.

4. Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light flashes

slowly three times (Figure 13).

Figure 13

5. Wait for a few minutes with the “POWER” switch in ON mode and then turn the “POWER” switch

off.

OUT OF FUEL SERVICE:

The fuel filler is located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the vehicle’s rear quarter panel and is covered by a

locking door. A button on the lower left side of the dash opens the fuel filler door (Figure 14 and 15).

Figure 14 Figure 15

Electric fuel door opener:

The ES300h is equipped with an electric fuel door opener. In the event of 12-volt power loss or other electrical

problem with the release mechanism, the fuel door can only be opened using the manual release located

behind a trim panel on the left side of the rear cargo area (Figure 16).

Figure 16

Running out of fuel:

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least

enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the

hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add to make the low fuel level warning

light go off is 3.0 gal, when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a

slope.)

NOTE: If the ES300h runs out of fuel (warning light is on) and the engine quits running, add fuel to the

vehicle and try to start the engine (as long as the READY light is ON) if the READY light is not

illuminating. The vehicle MUST go to the Lexus dealer for service. If the READY light does not

illuminate, multiple attempts to start the vehicle may have been performed prior to adding fuel, and the

vehicle will not start, even if fuel is added.
