played, 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

multi-information display or the odome-
ter/trip meter screen (F SPORT models).

■Display items
 Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehicle has 
been driven.
Trip meter A/trip meter B
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.

played, pressing and holding the switch 
will reset the trip meter.
WARNING
■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 num-
ber appearing on the display. This lag 
could cause the driver to downshift 
again, causing rapid and excessive 
engine braking and possibly an accident 
resulting in personal death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and 
its components
●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).  In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it has 
cooled completely. ( P.309)

WARNING
●When opening or closing the trunk lid, 
thoroughly check to make sure the 
surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure 
they are safe and let them know that 
the trunk is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing 
the trunk lid in windy weather as it may 
move abruptly in strong wind.
●On an incline it is more difficult to 
open or close the trunk lid than on a 
level surface, so beware of the trunk lid 
unexpectedly opening or closing by 
itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is 
fully open and secure before using the 
trunk.
●When opening the trun k lid, take care 
so that it does not hit anyone in the 
face or any other part of the body.
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra 
care to prevent your fingers etc. from 
being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make sure 
to press it lightly on  its outer surface. If 
the trunk handle is used to fully close 
the trunk lid, it may  result in hands or 
arms being caught.
●Do not attach any accessories other 
than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk 
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk 
lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut 
again after it is opened.
