■Speed indicator (F SPORT models)
When the vehicle reaches a set
speed, indicators will be displayed
on both sides of the displayed speed
unit.
The indicators will be displayed in yellow (corresponding to a speed setby a user) or red (fixed at 100 mph
[160 km/h]*1 or 200 km/h [125
mph]*2)*3.
This setting can be enabled on the multi-information display.
*1:For U.K.
*2:Except for U.K.
*3: Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
■Rev indicator (F SPORT models)
When the engine reaches a set
speed, a ring-shaped indicator will
be displayed on the tachometer.
■Rev peak (F SPORT models)
The engine speed reaches or
exceeds 5000 r/min, an afterimage
of the tachometer will be displayed
at the highest engine speed for
approximately 0.5 seconds.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The instrument panel brightness levels when th e tail lights are on and off can be adjusted
individually. However, when the surroundings ar e bright (daytime, etc.), turning on the tail lights will not change the in strument panel brightness.
■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 20 km/h [12 mph])
• 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 any authorized Lexus de aler or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■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 screen (F SPORT models only).
●Some pop-up displays can be set on/off. (P. 136)
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on th e 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. (P. 131)

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator of the tachometer enter the red zone, as it represents the engine speed range which exceeds the maximum safe engine speed.
●If the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H), the engine may beoverheating. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check theengine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 659)

Multi-information display
Presents the driver with a variety of vehicle data (P. 139)
Displays warning messages in case of a malfunction (P. 597)
Fuel gauge
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature. If the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicator ( ) enters the red zone, a buzzer will sound and the indicator will turn red
and start flashing. Also, a warning message will be displayed.
Engine oil temperature gauge
Displays the engine oil temperature. If the engine oil temperature gauge indicator
( ) enters the red zone, the indicator will turn red and start flashing.
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°C (-40°F) to 50°C
(122°F). Low outside temperature indicator comes on when the ambient temperature
is 3°C (37°F) or lower.
Tachometer

Odometer and trip meter display
Odometer:
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven
Trip meter:
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 inde-
pendently.
Eco driving meter
Displays the vehicle acceleration. The more rapidly the vehicle is accelerated, the
lower the number of blue segments displayed, indicating that your driving is less eco-
friendly. This meter is designed as a guid eline to show the eco-friendliness of your
driving.

■Rev indicator (SPORT S mode/SPORT S+ mode)
When the shift lever is in M, an indi-
cator on the tachometer will be dis-
played in 3 steps. When the 3rd
level indicator is displayed, the indi-
cator will flash and a buzzer will
sound to notify you of shift-up timing.
The indicator may be displayed when
downshifting, depending on the engine speed.
*: These illustrations show the default
meter display for SPORT S mode
and SPORT S+ mode. The meter dis-
plays for SPORT S mode and
SPORT S+ mode can be changed on
the settings display of the multi-infor-
mation display.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer
●When the driver’s door is opened, the analog speedometer will illuminate.
Then, when the driver’s door is closed, the analog speedometer will illuminate and go off (pulsate) 3 times.
●In the following situations, the analog speedometer will not pulsate even though the
driver’s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the analog meter pulsation completes • Within 60 seconds of turning the engine switch off
■Variable red zone
■Eco driving meter
●The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption. However, on a downward grade where the vehicle can accelerate without the acceler-ator pedal being depressed, the eco driving meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly.
●When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv- ing meter will not operate.

To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by starting the red zone of the tachometer at different engine speeds rangingfrom 3700 r/min to 7300 r/min depending on
the engine coolant temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load condi- tions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the
engine.

■Drive information 1/Drive information 2
Select to select up to 2 of the following items to display on each screen
respectively.
F SPORT models (main meter in center po sition): Each item is displayed sepa-
rately.
*1: Use the displayed figure (average fuel consumption, average vehicle speed, elapsed
time) for reference only.
*2: This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a result, the
actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
*3: When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be
updated.
When refueling, turn the engine switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning
the engine switch off, the display may not be updated.
