●

When "--" or "E" is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer.

■

Distance to empty

●

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.

WARNING

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, 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 braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
