FUEL GAUGE

Low fuel level warning light
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 ªEº or the low fuel level warning
light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
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.
Set the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE

Normal range
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature
when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating
temperature will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle points to the red zone or higher, stop your
vehicle and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating
conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in
stop±and±go traffic.
Towing a trailer.

ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters.
To change the mode indication, push the ªODO/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 ªODO/TRIPº button. To set the A trip
meter to zero, display the A meter reading, then push
the ªRESETº button. The same applies for the B trip
meter.
The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical
power source is disconnected.
