could result in death or serious injury.

Have the vehicle inspected by any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer immediately if this occurs.

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON

mode.

■

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 any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

■

(



P.85)

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 needle of the

tachometer enter the red zone, which

indicates the maximum engine speed.
