Displays the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
In the following situations, the actual quantity of fuel remaining in the tank may not be dis-
played correctly. Refer to P.98 if the actual quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is not dis-
played correctly.
• A small amount of fuel is added.
• Fuel is added with the fuel gauge near or at “1/1”.
• The vehicle is stopped on an uneven surface, such as a slope.
• The vehicle is driven on a slope or around a curve.

Hybrid System Indicator

Charge area

Shows regeneration

status.

Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).

Hybrid Eco area

Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop
and restart under various conditions.

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an
Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the bar display within Eco area,
more Eco-friendly driving can be
achieved.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is

being exceeded (during full power driving
etc.)

: When used in this manual, regeneration

refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into
electrical energy.

Engine speed

On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is pre-

cisely controlled in order to help improve

fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emis-

sions etc.

There are times when the engine speed that

is displayed may differ even when vehicle

operation and driving conditions are the

same.

when

The Hybrid System Indicator is displayed in

the following situations:

The shift lever is in D or S.

The hybrid system is started.

Manually updating the fuel gauge and

possible driving range

The fuel gauge and the possible driving

range are linked. If the displays of the fuel

gauge and possible driving range do not

update after adding a small amount of fuel,

the displays can be updated by performing

the following procedure.

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

display to odometer.

Turn the power switch off.

While pressing and holding the “ODO

Outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct

outside temperature may not be dis-

played, or the display may take longer

than normal to change:

• When stopped, or driving at low speeds

(less than 20 km/h [12 mph])

• 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 any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

WARNING

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, 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 num-

ber 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.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine and

its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the

tachometer enter the red zone, which

indicates the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the

engine coolant temperature gauge is

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (

WARNING

Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the hybrid system needs to be operat-

ing during setting up the display, ensure

that the vehicle is parked in a place with

adequate ventilation. In a closed area

such as a garage, exhaust gases includ-

ing harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may

collect and enter the vehicle. This may

lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

During setting up the display

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge,

ensure that the hybrid system is operat-

ing while setting up the display features.
