Vehicle status information and indicators
speed, a ring-shaped indicator will be
displayed on the tachometer.
The desired engine speed at which the Rev
indicator will begin to be displayed can be
set on of the multi-information display.
(  P.79)
■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 1 second.
■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
■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.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system
may be malfunctioning
. Take your vehicle
to your Lexus dealer.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light sp ots may appear on the
display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal disp lays, and there is no
problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
The gauges and meters can be customized
on of the multi-in formation display.
( P.83)
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 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.426)

aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside
the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an
electronic key in your bag, etc., ensure that
the buttons are not likely to be pressed acci-

craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will
sound in the cabin when the engine is
stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion when the
electronic key is to not be used for long
periods of time, set the electronic key to
the battery-saving mode. ( P.114)

radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not
used. The following symptoms indicate
that the electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary.
• The smart access system with push-but- ton start or the wireless remote control
does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
•The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
●To avoid serious dete rioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m)
of the following electrical appliances that
produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless
