speed, a ring-shaped indicator will be
displayed on the tachometer.

The desired engine speed at which the Rev
indicator will begin to be displayed can be
set on

of the multi-information display.

(



P.79)

■

Rev peak (F SPORT models)

The engine speed reaches or exceeds
5000 rpm, an afterimage of the
tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 1 second.

■

The meters and display illuminate when

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON

mode.

■

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.

■

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 gauges and meters can be customized
on

of the multi-information display.

(

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 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. (

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.

While setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that

the engine is running while setting up the

display features.
