( P.97)
■Rev peak
When the engine speed reaches or
exceeds the following, an afterimage of
the tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 1 second.
LC500: 3600 r/min
LC500h: 4000 r/min
■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch <p ower switch> is in
IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>.
■Variable red zone (LC500)
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 r/min to 7300
r/min depending on the engine coolant temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load conditions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the engine.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel lights is automatically adjusted based on the light sensor detecting how bright the sur-
roundings are.
■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 20 km/h [12 mph])
• 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 any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

The display can be switched between
the center and side positions.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●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.400, 403)
• 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
on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■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.
