■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.

Maintenance and care
Engine oilDo not use the engine oil level di pstick in the engine compartment when
checking or adding engine oil, as it is only designed to be used for oil
replacement performed by your Lexu s dealer. Make sure to use the
meter for checking and adding engine oil.
■ Checking the engine oil
Check the oil level using the “Oil Level” display on the meter.
( P. 132)
■ Adding engine oil
If the oil level is low, add engine oil.
If unsure of how much oil to add,
contact your Lexus dealer.
Prepare the following item and brand of oil:
*: Measured using the “Oil Level” display on the meter, between the minimumand maximum markings
Check the oil level using the “Oil Level” display on the meter.
( P. 132)
Stop the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
Oil brand “Mobil 1 5W-50”
Oil quantity*

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 )
