5Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”
switch for approximately 5 seconds,
and then release it once the odometer
begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the odometer
flashes for approximately 5 seconds and
then the display returns to normal.
QOutside temperature display
OIn 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.)
OWhen “--” or “E” is displayed, the system
may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle
to your Lexus dealer.
QLiquid crystal display
 P.86
QCustomization
The gauges and meters can be customized
on of the multi-information display.
(  P.89)
QDisplay 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.
QChanging 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
QThe 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 death or injury.
NOTICE
QTo prevent damage to the engine and
its components
ODo not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
OThe 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.396)
