Trip information
Display items can be switched
by pushing the “DISP” switch.
Outside temperature
Driving range
Displays the outside air temperature.
The temperature range that can be displayed is
from -40C (-40F) to 50C (122F).
When the temperature drops to 3C (37F), the
digits of the display will flash for 10 seconds.
Displays the estimated maximum distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remain-
ing.
• This distance is computed based on your aver-
age fuel consumption. As a result, the actual
distance that can be driven may differ 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 “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off. If the vehicle is refueled
without turning the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch off, the display may not be updated.

Average fuel consumption after refueling
Current fuel consumption
Average vehicle speedDisplays the average fuel consumption since the
function was reset.
• The function can be reset by pushing the
“DISP” switch for longer than one second when
the average fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as
a reference.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
vehicle was last refueled.
Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a
reference.
Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.
Displays the average vehicle speed since the
engine was started or the function was reset.
The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP”
switch for longer than one second when the aver-
age vehicle speed is displayed.

IS250/220d/200d_EEGear position display
(vehicles with an automatic transmission only)
Indicates the current gear, and the range of gears
that is available when the shift lever is in the D
or S position. 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 6 available
gears (1 through 6) has been selected by the driver.
(The shift lever is in the D or S position with 6
ranges enabled.) It is possible for the transmission
to automatically select between all 6 of the gears.
In this case, the transmission has selected third
gear.
System check display
After switching the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode, “CHECK” is displayed while system operation is checked. When the
system check is complete, “COMPLETED” is displayed before returning to
the normal screen.
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.)

CAUTION
When the temperature of the display is extremely low
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information 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.

Dynamic radar cruise control
Dynamic radar cruise control supplements conventional cruise control
with a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. In vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates or deceler-
ates in order to maintain a set following distance from vehicles ahead.

Adjusting the set speed
To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set
speed is displayed.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentar-
ily move the lever in the
desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the
lever in the desired direction.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will
be increased or decreased as follows:
• When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) each time the
lever is operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) for each
0.75 seconds the lever is held
• When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 5 km/h (3.1 mph) each time
the lever is operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 5 km/h (3.1 mph) for each
0.75 seconds the lever is held
In the constant speed control mode (P. 209), the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time the
lever is operated
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased con-
tinually until the lever is released.

Changing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Pressing the button changes
the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance as follows:
Long
Medium
Short
The vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance is set automatically to
long mode when the
“ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned to IGNI-
TION ON mode.
If a vehicle is running ahead
of you, the preceding vehicle
mark will also be displayed.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance settings
Select a distance from the table below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance increases/decreases in accordance
with vehicle speed.

IS250/220d/200d_EEExample of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes
in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than
the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the
display will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An
example of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you
while you are following a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an
appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warn-
ings will not occur:
When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
At the instant the accelerator is applied

Lexus parking assist-sensor
The distance to obstacles measured by the sensors is communicated
via the multi-information display and a buzzer when parallel parking
or maneuvering into a garage. Always check the surrounding area
when using this system.
