Eco driving ratio based on acceleration.
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration
If the acceleration exceeds the Zone of Eco
driving, the right side of the Eco Driving Indi-
cator Zone Display will illuminate.
Zone of Eco driving
During Eco-friendly acceleration (Eco driving),
the Eco Driving Indicator Light will turn on.
When the acceleration exceeds the Zone of
Eco driving, or when the vehicle is stopped, the
light turns off.

■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not come on when
you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are not available to help pro-
tect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.

Fuel gauge
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature. If the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicator ( ) enters the red zone, a buzzer will sound and the indicator will turn red
and start flashing. Also, a warning message will be displayed.
Engine oil temperature gauge
Displays the engine oil temperature. If the engine oil temperature gauge indicator
( ) enters the red zone, the indicator will turn red and start flashing.
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F
(50°C). Low outside temperature indicator comes on when the ambient temperature
is 37°F (3°C) or lower.
Tachometer
Displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute
Digital speedometer
Analog speedometer
Shift position and gear position
Displays the selected shift posi tion or selected shift range (P. 202)
Odometer and trip meter display
Odometer:
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven
Tr i p m e t e r :
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 indepen-
dently.
Eco driving meter
Displays the vehicle acceleration. The more rapidly the vehicle is accelerated, the
lower the number of blue segments displayed, indicating that your driving is less eco-
friendly. This meter is designed as a guid eline to show the eco-friendliness of your
driving.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer
●When the driver’s door is opened, th e analog speedometer will illuminate.
Then, when the driver’s door is closed, the analog speedometer will illuminate and go
off (pulsate) 3 times.
●In the following situations, the analog speedometer will no t pulsate even though the
driver’s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the analog meter pulsation completes
• Within 60 seconds of turn ing the engine switch off

■Eco driving meter
●The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption.
However, on a downward grade where the vehicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driv ing meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly.
●When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv-
ing meter will not operate.
Instrument panel light control

To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by changing the starting position of
the tachometer’s red zone depending on the
engine coolant temperature within a range from
3700 rpm to 7300 rpm.
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the
engine.

■Start-up display
When the engine is started, the name of the
vehicle is displayed on the multi-information
display.
While the start-up display is being displaye d, the meter display cannot be changed even
if the drive mode is changed. When the start-up display is finished, the meter display for
the currently selected mode will be displayed.
■Torque distribution display
Torque distribution may not be displayed correctly in some cases, such as when the vehi-
cle passes over road expansion joints.
■G-force display
●The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is
parked on an incline.
●The steering amount, accelerator pedal input, and brake fluid pressure displays are dis-
abled until the engine has warmed up (the variable red zone of the tachometer has
retracted to 7300 rpm).
After the engine has warmed up, these displays will be enabled.
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not
reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display may
be disabled temporarily. After driving the vehi cle for a while, the display will be enabled.
■Suspension of the settings display
In the following situations, operation of the settings display will be temporarily sus-
pended.
●When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
●When the vehicle begins to move
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure 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 temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
●Lap timer: Measured lap times, history
●G-force: Record of the maximum G-forces
■Using the lap timer
If the engine is stopped while a lap is being timed, the lap timer will stop and the lap time
up to that point will be recorded.
