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 change d 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. ■
Pop-up display
In some situations, a pop-up display will be temporarily displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display or the odometer/trip meter/ maintenance required information screen.
The pop-up display function can be set on/off. (  P. 6 3 8 )■
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 meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.
(Customizable features:  P. 6 3 3 )
WA R N I N G ■
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, th e 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 cau se the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and po ssibly an accident resulting in personal
death or injury.
NOTICE ■
To prevent damage to the engine and its components ●
When the tachometer is displayed, 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” or “Hybrid System Overheated” is shown
on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine or hybrid system after it has cooled completely.
