INFORMATION

■

The meters and display illuminate when

The power switch is in ON.

■

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.

■

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.

■

EV driving range

*

●

When the air conditioning system is operating, 

 is displayed next to the

EV driving range and the EV driving range with the air conditioning system on is
displayed.

●

The EV driving range may shorten even when not driving due to power consumption
by the system.

■

Distance to empty

*

●

This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a result, the
actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.

●

When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning the
power switch off, the display may not be updated.

■

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.

WARNING

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.

NOTICE

To prevent the engine or components from being damaged, observe the following
precautions.

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates
the maximum engine speed.

Hybrid system indicator

The hybrid system indicator displays the hybrid system output or regeneration
level.
The displayed content of the hybrid system indicator are different in EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode and HV mode.
This illustration is for explanation only and may differ depending on the specifica-
tions of the vehicle.

 

A

Charge area

Shows regeneration status.
Regenerated energy will be used to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
When used in this manual, "regeneration" refers
to the conversion of energy created by the
movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

B

Eco area

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

C

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is be-
ing exceeded (during full power driving etc.)

D

Hybrid Eco area (HV mode)

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

E

EV driving area (EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode)

Shows that the vehicle is driven using only the
electric motor (traction motor).

WARNING

■

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.

●

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.

■

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.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As the hybrid system needs to be operating 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 including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating while
setting up the display features.
