■

Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The instrument panel brightness levels when the tail lights are on and off can be adjusted

individually. However, when the surroundings are bright (daytime, etc.), turning on the tail

lights will not change the instrument panel brightness. At this time, any adjustments made

to the instrument panel brightness levels will be applied to both settings at once.

■

Dimming the analog speedometer lighting
The analog speedometer lighting will be dimmed when the ambient light is bright, such

as during the daytime, and SPORT S or SPORT S+ mode screen is selected.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or the

display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a

garage, tunnel, etc.)

●

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.

Take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer.

■

Pop-up display
In some situations, such as when a switch operation is performed, a pop-up display will

be temporarily displayed on the multi-information display.
Some pop-up displays can be set on/off. (

P. 552)

■

Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic

of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.

■

Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.
(Customizable features:

P. 549)

WARNING

■

The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information

display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond

slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing

rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or

injury.

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the

safety of the area around the vehicle.
