Speed indicator

When the vehicle reaches the set
speed, the speed unit display will turn
yellow.

The indicators will be displayed in yellow
(corresponding to a speed set by a user) or
red (fixed at 100 mph [160 km/h])

This setting can be enabled on the
multi-information display.

: Always observe the legal speed limit

when driving on public roads.

■

Rev indicator (SPORT S
mode/SPORT S+ mode)

When the shift lever is in M, an indica-
tor on the tachometer will be displayed
in 3 steps. When the 3rd level indicator
is displayed, the indicator will flash and
a buzzer will sound to notify you of
shift-up timing.

The indicator may be displayed when
downshifting, depending on the engine
speed.
These illustrations show the default meter
display for SPORT S mode and SPORT S+
mode. The meter displays for SPORT S
mode and SPORT S+ mode can be
changed on the settings display of the
multi-information display.

Rev peak (Normal mode/SPORT

The engine speed reaches or exceeds
3600 rpm, an afterimage of the
tachometer will be displayed at the

mately 1 second.

■

Meter display and layout

If the drive mode is changed, some of
the meter displays and the gauge lay-
out will be changed. (

P.192)

■

The meters and display illuminate when

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON

mode.

■

Welcome illumination of the analog

speedometer

●

When the driver’s door is opened, the

analog speedometer will illuminate. Then,

when the driver’s door is closed, the ana-

log speedometer will illuminate and go

off (pulsate) 3 times.

●

In the following situations, the analog

speedometer will not pulsate even

though the driver’s door is opened and

closed:

• Within 60 seconds after the analog

meter pulsation completes

• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine

switch off

■

Variable red zone

To help protect the engine, the engine

speed is controlled by starting the red zone

of the tachometer at different engine

speeds ranging from 3700 rpm to 7300

rpm depending on the engine coolant tem-

perature. Before driving under extremely

high load conditions, make sure to suffi-

ciently warm up the engine.

■

Eco driving meter

●

The number of blue segments displayed

on the eco driving meter

decreases/increases depending on the

vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a

guideline when you wish to drive in an

eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel

consumption.

However, on a downward grade where

the vehicle can accelerate without the

accelerator pedal being depressed, the

eco driving meter may not display the

eco-driving state correctly.

●

When the shift lever is moved to P, N or

R, the segments will turn gray and the eco

driving meter will not operate.

■

Dimming the analog speedometer light-

ing

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 is selected.

■

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 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.

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.

been driven.



Trip meter A/trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle has been
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip
meters A and B can be used to record and
display different distances independently.
To reset, display the desired trip meter and
press and hold the odometer/trip meter
and trip meter reset button.

■

Changing the display

Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch

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 number

appearing on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in

death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and

its components

●

Do not let the indicator of the tachom-

eter enter the red zone, as it rep-

resents the engine speed range which

exceeds the maximum safe engine

speed.

●

In the following situations, the engine

may be overheating. In this case,

immediately stop the vehicle in a safe

place, and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around the

vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the

multi-information display while driving

as you may fail to see pedestrians,

objects on the road, etc. ahead of the

vehicle.

■

Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the engine needs to be running

during setting up the display, ensure that

the vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to

death or a serious health hazard.
