■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 in strument panel brightness.
■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.
■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.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to any authorized Lexus de aler or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
■Po p - u p d i s p l a y

■Eco driving meter
●The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use this 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
370 0 r/m i n . t o 73 0 0 r/m i n .
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the
engine.

parked on an incline.
●The steering amount, accelerator pedal input, and brake fluid pressure displays are dis-
abled until the engine has warmed up (the variable red zone of the tachometer has
retracted to 7300 r/min.).
After the engine has warmed up, these displays will be enabled.
●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

turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.

■Trunk easy closer
■Power trunk lid (If equipped)
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk lid.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-
thing that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is
about to open or close.
●If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during automatic
operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on an incline, as the trunk
lid may open or close suddenly.
●On an incline, the trunk lid may suddenly shut after it opens automatically. Make sure
the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
●In the following situations, the power trunk lid may detect an abnormality and auto-
matic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to be operated manu-
ally. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped trunk lid may suddenly shut,
causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic opera-
tion
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The
power trunk lid may not operate, causing itse lf to malfunction, or the trunk lid may
suddenly shut again after it is opened.
■Jam protection function (vehicles with power trunk lid)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intent ionally activate the jam protection function.
●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
trunk lid fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else in the trunk lid.
●The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that
is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly open,
the trunk easy closer will automatically close it
to the fully closed position. It takes several sec-
onds before the trunk easy closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else in the trunk lid, as this may cause
bone fractures or other serious injuries.
