CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not come
on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately if
this occurs.

set to show the tachometer in any drive mode on the settings display. (P.
119)
Outside temperature

Hybrid System Indicator
Charge area
Shows regenerative charging.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop and restart under various condi-
tions.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is being exceeded (during full power
driving etc.)
Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is other than sport
mode with the tachometer setting other than “Tachometer (Always)”.
By keeping the indicator needle (except F SPORT models) or bar display (F
SPORT models) within the Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can be
achieved.
Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, regeneration refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

Tachometer
Hybrid System Indicator switches to the tachometer when driving mode is in
sport mode.
The settings of the tachometer display can be changed on the multi-information
display. (P. 1 1 9 )
Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help improve
fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even when
vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same.
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 20 km/h [12 mph])
When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a
garage, tunnel, etc.)
Pop-up display
In some situations, such as when a switch operation is performed, a pop-up dis-
play, such as the operating methods of the headlight switch, will be temporarily
displayed on the multi-information display or the odometer/trip meter screen (F
SPORT models only).
The pop-up display function can be set on/off. (P. 119)
Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is charac-
teristic 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. (P.
116)
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. (P. 555)
