Displays the average vehicle speed since 
the function was reset and the engine 
 Elapsed time (after reset*2/after

 Distance (range/after start)*1
Displays the estimated maximum distance 
that can be driven with the quantity of fuel 
remaining and the distan ce driven after the 
engine 
respectively.
• This distance is computed based on your  average fuel consumption. As a result, 
the actual distance that can be driven 
may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is  added to the tank, the display may not be 
updated. 
When refueling, turn the engine switch

WARNING
The engine compartment contains many 
mechanisms and fluids that may move 
suddenly, become hot, or become elec-
trically energized. To avoid death or seri-
ous injury, observe the following 
precautions.

TION ON” on the multi-information 
display and the “READY” indicator are 
both off.
●Keep hands, clothi ng and tools away 
from the moving fan and engine drive 
belt.
ItemsParts and tools●LC500: Be careful not to touch the 
engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. 
right after driving as they may be hot. 
Oil and other fluids may also be hot.

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in 
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus 
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” 
or equivalent to satisfy the following 
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade 
engine oil

in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE 
10W-30 oil may be used. However, it 
should be replaced with SAE 5W-30 
at the next oil change.Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here 
as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the  characteristic of the oil which allows 
cold startability. Oils with a lower 
value before the W allow for easier 
starting of the engine in cold 
weather.
• The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the vis- cosity characteristic of the oil when 
the oil is at high temperature. An oil 
with a higher viscosity (one with a 
higher value) may be better suited if 
the vehicle is operated at high 
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC) 
Certification Mark is added to some oil 
containers to help you select the oil you 
should use.
