2. Instrument cluster
The meters and display illuminate when
■
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The brightness of the instrument panel lights
■
When the tail lights are turned on, the meter' s brightness will be reduced slightly unless
the meter brightness level adjustment is set to the brightest setting.
If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter' s brightness will
be reduced slightly. However, when the surroundings are bright, such as during the day-
time, the meter' s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.
Customization
■
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display. (P. 585)
WARNING
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.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and its components
■
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). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the
engine after it has cooled completely. (P. 556)
Voltmeter
■
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is run-
ning, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer.
Engine oil pressure gauge
■
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount of engine oil.
( P. 475)
When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not decreased, or
if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Lexus
dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubrication system.
