PRECAUTIONS
2Lexus PDS
The GS450h has unique operating modes, so always follow the precautions below when
performing the PDS operation:
DThe GS450h contains high voltage (288–650 volts) AC and DC Systems. All high voltage
wiring and connections are orange in color. Do not carelessly touch these orange colored
wiring harnesses and connectors.
DThe gasoline engine may start up and shut down suddenly whenever the “READY” light
is illuminated. Be sure to put the selector lever in “P”, apply the parking brake, and
select the “POWER” switch in the “OFF” mode in order to stop the hybrid system
(the “READY” light goes OFF), before working in the engine compartment.
DThe hybrid transmission, engine radiator, and inverter radiator may reach high tempera-
tures during inspection. Carefully observe all caution labels and instructions on these
components.
DBe sure to keep the selector lever in “P” at all times unless otherwise instructed. When
the selector lever is in “N”, the hybrid vehicle battery will not charge even if the gasoline
engine is operating.
DWhen leaving the vehicle, put the selector lever in “P”, apply the parking brake, and
push the “POWER” switch in the “OFF” mode in order to stop the hybrid system (the
“READY” light goes OFF).
DAir vents are located on the package tray trim to cool the hybrid vehicle battery. Do not
block these air vents.
DIf the hybrid battery cooling system operates when the air conditioning is off, a message
will be shown on the multi–information display and the air conditioning will automatically
turn on.
DDo not splash water on the electric components in the engine compartment.
