■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])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of agarage, tunnel, etc.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer.
■ Pop-up display
In some situations, a pop-up display will be temporarily displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display or the odometer/trip meter/ maintenance required information screen.
The pop-up display function can be set on/off. ( P. 636)
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.
(Customizable features: P. 6 3 1 )
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 personal
death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●When the tachometer is displayed, 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); or “Engine Coolant Temp High” or “Hybrid System Overheated” is shown
on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine or hybrid system after it has cooled completely.

■Cautions during setting up the display
As the hybrid system needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a
garage, exhaust gases includin g harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■The multi-information disp lay 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.
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating while
setting up the display features.

■Head-up display
●The head-up display may seem dark and hard to see when viewed through sunglasses,
especially polarized sunglasses.
Adjust the brightness of the head-up display or remove your sunglasses.
●When the head-up display is turned off, it will not display anything until it is turned on
again.
■When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The customize settings of the head-up display will be reset.
WA R N I N G
■Before using the head-up display
Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display image does not interfere
with safe driving. Incorrect adjustment of the image’s positi on or brightnessmay
obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an a ccident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to components
●Do not place any drinks near the head-up dis-
play projector. If the projector gets wet, elec-
trical malfunctions may result.
●Do not place anything on or put stickers onto
the head-up display projector.
Doing so could interrupt head-up display
indications.
●Do not touch the inside of the head-up display
projector or thrust sharp edges or the like into
the projector.
Doing so could cause mechanical malfunc-
tions.

smart access system with pu sh-button start antennas. (P. 1 4 0 )
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry
function can be disabled. Ask your Lexus dealer for details, such as the frequency of
radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if
you should disable the entry function.

cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should consult the ma nufacturer of the device for information about its opera-
tion under the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effe cts on the operation of such medical
