The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the meter’ s brightness will be reduced slightly unless
the meter brightness leve l adjustment is set to the brightest setting.
If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter’s brightness will
be reduced slightly. However, when the surroundings are bright, such as during the day-
time, the meter’s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on. ■
Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display. (  P. 585)
WA R N I N G ■
The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, th e 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 cau se the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and po ssibly 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, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the
engine after it has cooled completely. (  P. 5 5 6 )■
Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is run-
ning, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer. ■
Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediat ely and check the amount of engine oil.
(  P. 4 7 5 )
When the oil pressure drops even though th e engine oil amount has not decreased, or
if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Lexus
dealer, as there may be a proble m with the lubrication system.

When trouble arises ■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured:  P. 5 3 6
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to IGNITION ON mode. Check if the tire pressure
warning light comes on or flashes. 
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
After the temperature of the tires has lowere d sufficiently, check the inflation pressure
of each tire and adjust th em to the specified level.
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have elapsed, check
that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the specified level and perform initialization.
(  P. 4 8 7 )
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have elapsed, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately. 
If the tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute then stay on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately. ■
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on du e to natural causes such as natural air leaks
or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire
inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes). ■
When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. The
tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If
a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the tire pressure
warning light does not turn off. Replace the spar e tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressu re warning light will turn off after a few min-
utes. ■
