GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30E86U_(U)
Engine immobilizer system
The indicator light flashes after the
engine switch has been turned off to
indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing after
the engine switch has been turned to
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode to indicate that the system has
been canceled.
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type engine immobilizer system.
■Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system (key with a
built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the engine
from starting if a key has not been previously registered in the vehicle’s on-
board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not guarantee
absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The instrument panel brightness levels when the tail lights are on and off can be adjusted
individually. However, when the surroundings ar e bright (daytime, etc.), turning on the tail
lights will not change the instrument panel brightness. At this time, any adjustments made
to the instrument panel brightness levels w ill be applied to both settings at once.
■Limitation of brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel lights is automatically adjusted based on the light
sensor detecting how bright the surroundings are. However, if the instrument panel
brightness has been manually set to either the brightest or darkest setting, the automatic
adjustment will not be performed.

■Eco driving meter
●The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use th is meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption.
However, on a downward grade where the vehicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driving meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly.
●When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv-
ing meter will not operate.

To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by changing the starting position of
the tachometer’s red zone depending on the
engine coolant temperature within a range from
3700 rpm to 7300 rpm.
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the
engine.

parked on an incline.
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not
reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display may
be disabled temporarily. After driving the vehi
cle for a while, the display will be enabled.

tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire information cannot be determined due to unfavorable
radio wave conditions.

■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the mult i-information display while drivin g, pay extra attention to the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure that the vehi-
cle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
