About connected portable devices

●

Portable devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard can be charged
by the wireless charger. However, compatibility with all devices which meet the Qi
wireless charging standard is not guaranteed.

●

The wireless charger is designed to supply low power electricity (5 W or less) to a
cellular phone, smartphone, or other portable device.

●

Failure to do so may result in the possibility of fire,However, portable devices, such as
the following, can be charged with more than 5 W.

•

7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W or less.

•

Portable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4 (Extended Power profile) can be
charged at 10 W or less.

■

Using the smart access system with push-button start

Charging will be suspended for the smart access system with push-button start to detect
the electronic key during charging such as when the electronic key has been brought
outside the vehicle. When the electronic key is detected, charging will automatically start
again.

■

If a cover or accessory is attached to the portable device

Do not charge a portable device if a cover or accessory which is not Qi compatible is
attached.
Even if a device is “Qi” compatible, charging may not be possible if a cover or accessories
are attached. (

■

Charging precautions

While charging, the wireless charger and the portable device will become warm. This is
not a malfunction.
If a portable device becomes warm while charging and charging stops due to the
protection function of the portable device, wait until the portable device cools down and
charge it again.
Also, to decrease the temperature inside the wireless charger, a fan may operate. This
does not indicate a malfunction.

■

Sound generated during operation

Operation sounds may be heard when the power switch is pressed to change to ACC or
ON, or when a portable device is being detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■

“Qi” symbol

The “Qi” logo is a trademark of the Wireless Power Consortium.

●

Place a portable device on the charging tray.

Depending on the portable device, its charging coil
may not be in the center of the device. In this case,
place the portable device so that its charging coil is
centered in the charging area.
While charging, the operation indicator light on the
charging tray (orange) will be illuminated.
If charging does not begin, move the portable de-
vice as close to the center of the charging area as possible.
When charging is complete, the operation indicator light on the charging tray (green)
will illuminate.

INFORMATION

■

AM radio broadcast linked function during charging

●

During charging, if noise occurs when listening to the AM radio, the charging
frequency is automatically changed to reduce the noise.

●

When automatically seeking AM radio stations, charging will be suspended to
prevent charging noise from being detected as a radio station. Charging will
resume automatically when seek tuning is stopped.

■

Recharging function

●

If a certain amount of time has elapsed since charging completed and the portable
device has not been moved, the wireless charger will restart charging.

●

If a portable device is moved significantly within the charging area, the charging coil
may disconnect and charging may temporarily be stopped. However, if a charging

coil is detected within the charging area, the charging coil inside the wireless
charger will move near the other coil and charging will resume.

■

Rapid charging function

Portable devices, such as the following, can be rapidly charged.

●

Rapid charging capable devices which conform to WPC Ver1.2.4 EPP (Extended
Power profile)

●

7.5 W charging capable iPhones (iPhone 8 and later)

INFORMATION

■

The meters and display illuminate when

The power switch is in ON.

■

Engine speed

On hybrid electric vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help improve
fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even when vehicle
operation and driving conditions are the same.

■

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 16 mph [25 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.

■

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.

●

When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning the
power switch off, the display may not be updated.

Free/Open Source Software Information

This product contains Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). The license information
and/or the source code of such FOSS can be found at the following URL.

https://www.denso.com/global/en/opensource/meter/toyota/

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.

NOTICE

To prevent the engine or components from being damaged, observe the following
precautions.

●

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 Stop in a Safe Place See Owner's Manual"
is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.
