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.

5-1. Functions and displays of the meter

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.

EV driving range

When the air conditioning system is operating, 

 is displayed next to the

EV driving range and the EV driving range with the air conditioning system on is
displayed.

The EV driving range may shorten even when not driving due to power consumption
by the system.

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.

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.

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

WARNING

Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the
safety of the area around the vehicle.

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

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, 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.

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 including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating while
setting up the display features.

WARNING

Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display image does not inter-
fere with safe driving.
Incorrect adjustment of the image’s position or brightness may obstruct the driver’s
view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

As the hybrid system needs to be operating while changing the settings of the head-up
display, ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide
(CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.

NOTICE

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating while the
changing the settings of the head-up display.

Features of the safe driving support functions

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and performance, the following systems operate automat-
ically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however, that these
systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake System)

The electronically controlled system generates braking force corresponding to the
brake operation.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes
are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed
when the system detects a panic stop situation.

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery
road surfaces.

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road surfaces by
controlling steering performance.

Trailer Sway Control

Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake pressure for
individual wheels and reducing driving torque when trailer sway is detected.

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spinning when
starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads

Active Cornering Assist (ACA)

Helps to prevent the vehicle from drifting to the outer side by performing inner
wheel brake control when attempting to accelerate while turning.

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an uphill.
