Hybrid System Indicator
Charge areaShows regeneration *
status.
Regenerated energy will be used to charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
Hybrid Eco areaShows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop
and restart under various conditions.
Eco areaShows that the vehicle is being driven in an
Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the bar display within Eco area,
more Eco-friendly driv ing can be achieved.
Power areaShows that an Eco-friendly driving range is
being exceeded (durin g full power driving
etc.) *
: When used in this manual, regeneration
refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into
electrical energy.
■
Engine speed
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is pre-
cisely controlled in order to help improve
fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emis-
sions etc.
There are times when the engine speed that
is displayed may differ even when vehicle operation and driving conditions are the
same. ■
Hybrid System Indicator is displayed
when
The Hybrid System Indicator is displayed in
the following situations: ●
The shift position is in D or M. ●
The driving mode is other than sport
mode.
However, the Hybrid System Indicator will
not be displayed when the analog and digi-
tal speedometers are both enabled on
of the multi-information display. ( → P.90)■
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 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of
a garage, tunnel, etc.) ●
When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system
may be malfunctioning. Take your vehicle
to your Lexus dealer. ■

Display items
 Odometer Displays the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
 Trip meter A/trip meter B 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 independently.
 Distance until next engine oil WARNING■
The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
NOTICE■
To prevent damage to the engine and
its components ●
Do not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed. ●
The engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( → P.453)
