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.

Driving range

• Use the displayed values as a reference only.
• 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 engine switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without out turning the engine 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.

Customization
The gauges and meters can be customized.

WARNING
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.

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); or “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.

Odometer and trip meter display

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.

Changing the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is pressed, the displayed item will be changed. When the trip meter is displayed, pressing and holding the switch will reset the trip meter.
