WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does

not come on

Should a safety system light such as the

ABS and SRS warning light not come on

when you start the hybrid system, this

could mean that these systems are not

available to help protect you in an acci-

dent, which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by

your Lexus dealer immediately if this

occurs.

played correctly.
• A small amount of fuel is added.
• Fuel is added with the fuel gauge near or at “F”.
• 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 Electric Vehicles, engine speed

is precisely controlled in order to help

improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust

emissions etc.

There are times when the engine speed that

is displayed may differ even when vehicle

operation and driving conditions are the

same.

■

Hybrid System Indicator is displayed

when

The Hybrid System Indicator is displayed in

the following situations:

●

The shift lever is in D or S.

●

The driving mode is other than Sport

mode.

■

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.

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to

change the odometer and trip meter

display to odometer.

Turn the power switch off.

Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”

switch for approximately 5 seconds,

and then release it once the odometer

begins flashing.

Updating is complete once the odometer

flashes for approximately 5 seconds and

then the display returns to normal.

■

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.

■

Speed unit setting for the speedometer

When the speed unit has been changed

from the default setting, the vehicle speed in

the default unit is also displayed in the

meter.

■

GPS automatic adjustment of the clock

When the system is malfunctioning, the

clock adjustment screen may be displayed

on the multi-information display. In this

case, have the vehicle inspected by your

Lexus dealer.

Display items



Odometer

Displays the total distance the vehicle has
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.

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 of the tachom-

eter enter the red zone, which indi-

cates 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. (
