Caution / Notice / Hint

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus ES 300h, 2023 Lexus ES 300h, 2022 Lexus ES 300h, and 2021 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspection Method

Drive at 10 km/h (6 mph), depress the accelerator pedal by 1/2 to 3/4 and keep it in that position. Under these conditions, if hybrid system output is controlled when the brake pedal is depressed by the left foot of the driver, it can be confirmed that the brake override system has operated.

WARNING:

Perform this road test only in an appropriate safe location, in accordance with all local laws.

Pay careful attention to the surroundings when performing the road test.

HINT:

The brake override system restricts requested accelerator torque if the brake pedal is depressed when driving with the accelerator pedal depressed. If a customer reports experiencing a loss of power (requested accelerator torque) after the accelerator and brake pedals have both been intentionally depressed, explain that this is not a malfunction, and depressing both the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time should be avoided.
