Low outside temperature indicator comes on when the ambient temperature is 3°C (37°F)
or lower
Tachometer
Displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute
Speedometer
Shift position/shift range/gear position ( P.173, 179)
Shift position indicator ( P.175, 181)
Clock
Time displayed is linked to the analog clock on the instrument panel. (P.297)
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature
If the engine coolant temperature gauge indi cator enters the red zone, a buzzer sounds
and the high coolant temperature warning light comes on
Odometer and trip meter display
Odometer:
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven
Trip meter:
Displays the distance the vehicle has been driven since the meter was last reset
Trip meters “A” and “B” can be used to record and display different distances independently
Fuel gauge
Displays the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
Multi-information display
Presents the driver with a variety of vehicle data (P.92)
Displays warning messages in case of a malfunction (P.378)
Motor power display/Hybrid System Indicator (LC500h)
Displays the motor power display (P.87) or Hybrid System Indicator (P.86)
■Speed warning
When the vehicle reaches the set
speed, the speed warning display will
flash.
This setting can be enabled on the
multi-information display. ( P.92)
Always observe the legal speed limit when
driving on public roads.

The indicators will be displayed in
amber ( ) when the engine speed
reaches a set speed, and in red ( )
when the engine speed reaches the
red zone. This setting can be enabled
on the multi-information display.
( P.97)
■Rev peak
When the engine speed reaches or
exceeds the following, an afterimage of
the tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 1 second.
LC500: 3600 r/min
LC500h: 4000 r/min
■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch

is in
IGNITION ON mode .
■Variable red zone (LC500)
To help protect the engine, the engine
speed is controlled by starting the red zone of the tachometer at different engine speeds ranging from 3700 r/min to 7300
r/min depending on the engine coolant temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load conditions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the engine.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel lights is automatically adjusted based on the light sensor detecting how bright the sur-
roundings are.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis- played, 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 retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Pop-up display
●In some situations, such as when a switch operation is performed, a pop-up display
will be temporarily displayed on the multi-information display.
●Some pop-up displays can be set on/off. ( P.97)

■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 are bright (daytime, etc.), turning on the tail lights will not change the instrument panel brightness.
The display can be switched between
the center and side positions.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator of the tachom-eter enter the red zone, as it rep-
resents the engine speed range which exceeds the maximum safe engine speed.
●In the following situations, the engine
may be overheating. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( P.400, 403)
• The engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H).
• LC500: The engine oil temperature gauge is in the red zone (H).

WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra atten-tion 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.
■The information display at low tem- peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem- peratures, the 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 cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
