■Speed indicator
When the vehicle reaches the set
speed, the displayed unit of speed
measure will turn yellow.
The indicators will be displayed in
yellow (corresponding to a speed set
by a user) or red (fixed at 100 mph
[160 km/h])
*.
This setting can be enabled on the
multi-information display.
*: Always observe the legal speed limi t when driving on public roads.
■Rev indicator (SPORT S mode screen/SPORT S+ mode screen)
When the shift lever is in M, an indi-
cator on the tachometer will be dis-
played in 3 steps. When the 3rd
level indicator is displayed, the indi-
cator will flash and a buzzer will
sound to notify you of shift-up timing.
The indicator may be displayed when
downshifting, depending on the
engine speed.

exceeds 3600 rpm, an afterimage
of the tachometer will be displayed
at the highest engine speed for
approximately 1 second.
■Odometer/Trip meter
Switches between odometer and
trip meter displays. When the trip
meter is displayed, pressing and
holding the button will reset the trip
meter.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer
●When the driver’s door is opened, the analog speedometer will illuminate.
Then, when the driver’s door is closed, the analog speedometer will illuminate and go
off (pulsate) 3 times.
●In the following situations, the analog sp eedometer will not pulsate even though the
driver’s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the an alog meter pulsation completes
• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine switch off
■Variable red zone
■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 ve hicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driv ing 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.
Instrument panel light control

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 su fficiently warm up the
engine.

■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 inst rument panel brightness. At th is time, any adjustments made
to the instrument panel brightness levels will be applied to both settings at once.
■Dimming the analog speedometer lighting
The analog speedometer lighting will be dimm ed when the ambient light is bright, such
as during the daytime, and SPORT S or SPORT S+ mode screen is selected.
■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 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 your Lexus dealer.
■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. 552)
■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. 549)
WARNING
■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 dr iver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could ca use the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator of the tachometer enter the red zone, as it represents the
engine speed range which exceeds the maximum safe engine speed.
●In the following situations, th e 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. 512)
• The engine coolant temperature gauge indicator ( ) is in the red zone and flash- ing.
• The engine oil temperature gauge indicator ( ) is in the red zone and flashing.
