■Meter operation restrictions while vehicle is in motion
While the vehicle is in motion, some menu items cannot be changed using the con-
trol pad. Restricted items are displayed in gray or without an arrow. These items can
be operated once the vehicle is stopped.
■“Rev Ind” (rev indicator)
●Even if the green or amber indicator is set to 9000 rpm, the over-rev warning
will be displayed.
●If the green and amber indicators are both set to the same engine speed, the
indicator will be shown in amber.
■Measuring the engine oil level
●The dry sump lubrication system circulates the engine oil between the engine
and oil tank according to driving conditions. Accordingly, the engine oil level in
the oil tank may vary even if the overall amount is constant, affecting the mea-
surement results.
●It takes some time for the engine oil level to stabilize after the engine is started.
To obtain a more stable result, drive the vehicle for a while and then perform the
measurement without stopping the engine.
●If an attempt to measure the oil level is made immediately after the previous oil
level measurement process was completed, the previous measurement may be
displayed.
●If the measurement result flashes, the measuring function is malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■Engine oil maintenance
“Oil maintenance required” will be displayed once the vehicle has been driven for
more than 6214 miles (10000 km) since the last reset. (
P. 3 2 7 )
The engine oil may need to be replaced earlier depending on driving conditions.
●Over-rev warning (regular setting)
If the engine speed enters the red zone, the
over-rev warning will be shown in red
regardless of the set speed.

■Using the “Lap Timer”
●When the “Lap Timer” function is turned “OFF” or the engine is stopped while a
lap is being timed, the lap timer will stop and the lap time up to that point will be
recorded.
●If the lap time being recorded ends with the same time as the fastest lap, the
newer time will be saved as the fastest lap time.
●If the lap time exceeds “9:59:59.99”, the display will return to “0:00:00.00” but
the total time will be recorded.
●If a warning message is displayed when a lap time is being measured, the lap
time will still continue to be recorded.
Operating the control pad while the warning message is shown returns the dis-
play to the stopwatch but the warning message will continue to appear until the
warning is resolved.
●In the normal display, the current measurement time and the latest lap time will
be displayed.
■Changing the temperature measurement unit
When the “Temp” measurement unit is ch anged, the air conditioning system tem-
perature setting, air outlet s and fan speed characteristic s may be changed. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
■If the battery is disconnected or discharges
“Lap Timer” data and “Clock” settings will be reset.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Add oil based on the oil level shown on the meter.
Do not add more than 0.5 qt. (0.5 L, 0.4 Imp. qt.) at a time regardless of
the oil level reading.
To check the oil level again, install the oil filler cap by turning it
clockwise.
Check the oil level using the “Oil Level” display and repeat the
above procedure if more oil is required.
Even if the measurement result shows that the oil is below the maximum
level, be careful not to add more oil than necessary.
Install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise.
■Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depe nds on the oil viscosity, the quality of
the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
●More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and fre-
quent acceleration and deceleration.
●A new engine consumes more oil.
●When judging the amount of oil consumpt ion, keep in mind that the oil may
have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
●Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles (0.9 Imp. qt./600 miles, 1.0 L/1000
km)
●If your vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp. qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Lexus dealer.
■After the engine oil has been changed
The “Oil Maintenance” display on the mete r needs resetting. Have the display reset
at your Lexus dealer. ( P. 1 3 2 )
