FUEL GAUGE

Low fuel level warning light
The gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel
remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches Eº or the low fuel level warning light
comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the fuel gauge
returns to Eº when the ignition switch is turned to the STARTº
position.
See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.

TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to
prevent engine over-revving.
Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive
engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most
cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel
economy.
It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the tachometer
returns to the bottom position when the ignition switch is turned
to the STARTº position.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. Thismay cause severe engine damage.
