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.

1

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

2

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to 

change the odometer and trip meter 

display to odometer.

3

Turn the engine switch off.

4

While pressing and holding the “ODO 

TRIP” switch, turn the engine switch to 

IGNITION ON mode.

5

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.

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 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.

NOTICE

During setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure 

that the engine is running while setting up 

the display features.
