Outside Temperature Display; Liquid Crystal Display; Dimming The Analog Speedometer Lighting - Lexus RC F Owner's Manual

102 2-1. Instrument cluster
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
accelerator 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
driving meter will not operate.
Dimming the analog speedometer
■
lighting
The analog speedometer lighting will be
dimmed when the ambient light is bright,
such as during the daytime, and SPORT S
or SPORT S+ mode is selected.

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 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 your Lexus dealer.
Pop-up display
■
In some situations, such as when a switch
●
operation is performed, a pop-up display
will be temporarily displayed on the
multi-information display.
Some pop-up displays can be set on/off.

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.

Customization
■
The meter display can be customized on
the multi-information display. (P.404)
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 temper-
atures, 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, as it repre-
sents the engine speed range which
exceeds the maximum safe engine
speed.
In the following situations, the engine
●
may be overheating. In this case,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. (P.388)
• The engine coolant temperature
gauge indicator ( ) is in the red
zone and flashing.
• The engine oil temperature gauge
indicator ( ) is in the red zone and
flashing.
