CAUTION
■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 protect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.
■Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the vehi-
cle’s systems. ( →P. 4 6 9 )
*: These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode to indicate that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few sec-
onds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,
or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.

When refueling, turn the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning

Gear position display
Indicates the current gear, and the range of gears
that is available when the shift lever is in the D posi-
tion. The gear range is shown by the number of dots
(•) and the current gear is shown as a number. The
transmission automatically selects the gears within
the driver selected gear range.
In the illustration to the left, a range of 8 available gears
(1 through 8) has been selected by the driver. (The shift
lever is in the D position with 8 ranges enabled) It is
possible for the transmission to automatically select
between all 8 of the gears. In this case, the transmission
has selected third gear.
When in the M position, the “F” mark is displayed.
■Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to change.
●When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

CAUTION
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-
tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver's downshifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. In this case, wait until the display changes and
take care not to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and
possibly an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the parking light turn on
automatically (at a increased intensity) whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.
■Headlight control sensorThe sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
