●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.368, 370)
• 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

■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.
