38
FUEL GAUGE
13G001a
The gauge is displayed when the ignition switch is on and
indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches ºEº or the low fuel level warning light
comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.

TACHOMETER
13G006d
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to
prevent engine over±revving.
Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive
engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most
cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel
economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This
may cause severe engine damage.
ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
13G004
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To
change the mode indication, push the ºODO/TRIPº
button.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The twin trip meter records two different
distances independently.
For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel
economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip.
To change the trip meter indication from one trip to the
other, push the ºODO/TRIPº button. To set the A trip meter
to zero, display the A meter reading, then push the
ºRESETº button. The same applies for the B trip meter.
The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical power
source is disconnected.

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT
CONTROL
13G005
The brightness of the instrument panel lights is
automatically adjusted depending on the brightness of
your surroundings. To adjust the brightness as you like,
turn the knob. However, if the brightness is automatically
adjusted at the maximum, turning the knob cannot change
the brightness.
When the headlight switch is in the first or second click stop,
you can also adjust the brightness of the displays on the audio
and air conditioning systems using this knob.
