■Driving range
■Elapsed time
■Tire inflation pressureDisplays the estimated
maximum distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining
• This distance is computed based on your average
fuel consumption. As a result, the actual distance
that can be driven may diff er 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 “START STOP ENGINE”
<“POWER”> switch off. If the vehicle is refueled
without turning the “START STOP ENGINE”
<“POWER”> switch off, the display may not be
updated.
Displays the elapsed time since the engine
was started
Displays inflation pres sure of each tire
For the vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The inflation
pressure of the spare tire will be displayed.

■Setting display automatic cancelation
In the following situations, setting display in which the settings can be changed
through the “DISP” button will automatically be turned off.
●When a warning message appears whil e the setting display is displayed
●When the vehicle begins to move while the setting display is displayed
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the “START
STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is tu rned to IGNITION ON mode. It
may also take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation pres-
sure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be
different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on th e display. This phenomenon is character-
istic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
Setting of available languages can be changed. (Custo mizable features P. 7 3 0 )

■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing
or before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or
improper tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the system to
recognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement marker” or
stones
●When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
●When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a
shadow covers the lane markers
●When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as the
entrance to or exit from a tunnel
●When sunlight or the headlights of oncoming vehicles are shining directly into the
camera lens
●When driving on roads that are branching or merging
●When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall, standing
water, etc.
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-a nd-down motion such as when driving
on an extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
●When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or
when the headlights are misaligned
●When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads

4-5. Using the driving support systems
The guide lines are very far out of alignment
The camera position is out of alignment.Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
• The vehicle is tilted (there is a heavy
load on the vehicle, tire pressure is
low due to a tire puncture, etc.)
• The vehicle is used on an incline.If this happens due to these causes, it
does not indicate a malfunction.
Back up while visually checking the
vehicle’s surroundings.
 The estimated course lines move even though the steering wheel is straight
There is a malfunction in the signals
being output by the steering sensor.Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
Guide lines are not displayed
The trunk is open.
Close the trunk.
If this does not resolve the symptom,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
The estimated course lines are not displayed
• 12-volt battery power is low.
• The steering sensor has been rein-
stalled.
• There is a malfunction in the signals being output by the steering sensor.Stop the vehicle, and turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go to the left and
right.
If this does not resolve the symptom,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.

CAUTION
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load
capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire
inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires are
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the
driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
