Rev indicator (F SPORT models)
When the engine speed reaches a set speed, a ring-shaped indicator will be displayed on the tachometer.
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 0.5 seconds.
The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Variable red zone (IS500)
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.
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.
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 or the odometer/ trip meter screen (F SPORT models).
- 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.
Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.
WARNING
The information display at low temperatures 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, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.
