Vehicle status information and indicators
The desired engine speed at which the Rev
indicator will begin to be displayed can be
set on of the mult i-information display.
■Rev peak (F SPORT models)
The engine speed reaches or exceeds
5000 rpm, an afterimage of the
tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 0.5 seconds.
Moves between center and right-side
positions.
■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
■Variable red zone (IS500)
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 rpm to 7300
rpm depending on the engine coolant tem-
perature. Before driving under extremely
high load conditions, make sure to suffi-
ciently warm up the engine.
■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 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of
a garage, tunnel, etc.)

tion (F SPORT models)

●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 performe d, a pop-up display
will be temporarily displayed on the
multi-information display or the odome-
ter/trip meter screen (F SPORT models).
●Some pop-up displays can be set on/off.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the
display. This phenomen on 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. ( P.388)
■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.
Distance until next engine oil
change
Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.
■Changing the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
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 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.
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 maxi mum 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.357)

Driving
A lower shift range will provide greater
engine braking forces than a higher shift
range.
■Automatic deactivation of shift range
selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will
be deactivated in the following situations:
●When the vehicle comes to a stop
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed for
more than a certain period of time
●When the shift lever is shifted to a posi-
tion other than D
■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor-
mance, downshifting operation may some-
times be restricted. In some circumstances,
downshifting may not be possible even
when the paddle shift switch is operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
To enter M mode, shift the shift lever to
M. Gears can then be selected by
operating the shift lever or paddle shift
switches, allowing you to drive in the
gear of your choice. Except F SPORT models
F SPORT models
1 Upshifting
2 DownshiftingThe gear changes once every time the shift
lever or paddle shift switch is operated.
8-speed models: The selected gear, from
M1 to M8, will be fi xed and displayed on
the multi-information display.
6-speed models: The selected gear, from
M1 to M6, will be fixed and displayed on
the multi-information display.
When in the M position, the gear will
not change unless the shift lever or
paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in the M position,
the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situation:
When vehicle speed drops
(downshift only).
When the automatic transmission
