■Locations of gauges and meters
The units of measure may differ depending on the intended destination of the vehicle.
Multi-information display
Presents the driver with a variety of vehicle data ( P.87)
Displays warning messages if a malfunction occurs (P.395)
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F (50°C)
Low outside temperature indicator comes on wh en the ambient temperature is 37°F (3°C)
or lower
Speedometer
Hybrid System Indicator/tachometer
Displays hybrid system outp ut or regeneration level (P.79)
This display changes to a tachometer depending on the driving mode, and can be set to
show the tachometer in any driving mode on the settings display. (P.91, 255)
Clock
Time displayed is linked to the analog clock on the center panel. (P.301)

■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
change
Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.
■Changing the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.
■Pop-up display
Distance until the next engine oil
change will displayed when a warning
message indicating that oil mainte-
nance should be performed soon or is
required is displayed.
The brightness of the instrument panel
lights can be adjusted.
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 of the tachom-
eter enter the red zone, which indi-
cates 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.410)

■Hybrid System Indicator
Charge area
Shows regeneration* status.
Regenerated energy will be used to charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop
and restart under various conditions.
Eco area
Shows 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 area
Shows 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.
■Rev indicator
When the engine speed reaches a set
speed or the red zone, a ring-shaped
indicator ( ) will be displayed on the
tachometer.
The indicators will be displayed in amber
when the engine speed reaches a set
speed, and in red when the engine speed
reaches the red zone.
The engine speed at which the rev indica-
tor will begin to be displayed can be set on
of the multi-information display.
(  P.87)
■Rev peak
When the engine speed reaches or
exceeds 4000 rpm, an afterimage of
the tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 1 second.

Vehicle status information and indicators
■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 lever is in D or S.
●The driving mode is other than Sport
mode.
■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.
■Speed unit setting for the speedometer
When the speed unit has been changed
from the default setting, the vehicle speed in
the default unit is also displayed in the
meter.
■Liquid crystal display
 P.88
■Customization
The gauges and meters can be customized
on of the multi-information display.

Driving
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 It is recommended that the vehicle is
fitted with four snow run-flat tires or
purchase a set of tire chains for the
front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and
brand, and that chains match the size of the
tires.
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air
pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120
km/h), regardless of the type of snow
tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed
limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), which-
ever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces
or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden br aking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering
a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist).
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.

WARNING
The engine compartment contains many
mechanisms and fluids that may move
suddenly, become hot, or become elec-
trically energized. To avoid death or seri-
ous injury, observe the following
precautions.
■When working on the engine com-
partment
●Make sure that “IGNITION ON” on
the multi-information display and the
“READY” indicator are both off.
●Keep hands, clothi ng and tools away
from the moving fan and engine drive
belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they
may be hot. Oil and other fluids may
also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn
easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose
an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes are
flammable.
■When working near the electric cool-
ing fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is OFF.
With power switch in ON, the electric
cooling fans may automatically start to
run if the air conditioning is on and/or the
coolant temperature is high. ( P.340)
ItemsParts and tools■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or
falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
ting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine
wear due to dirt in the air.
