GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

FUEL GAUGE

Low fuel level warning light

The gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on.

It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.

If the fuel level approaches ªEº or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.

On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.

If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.

The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the fuel gauge returns to ªEº when the ignition switch is turned to the ªSTARTº position.

See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended fuel selection.

81

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

ENGINE COOLANT

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

Normal range

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load.

If the needle points to the red zone or higher, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as:

Driving up a long hill on a hot day.

Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.

Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop±and±go traffic.

Towing a trailer.

It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge returns to ªCº when the ignition switch is turned to the ªSTARTº.

82

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

NOTICE

Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.

Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See ªIf your vehicle overheatsº on page 556.

83

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

TACHOMETER

The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to prevent engine over±revving.

Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.

It is not a malfunction even if the needle of the tachometer returns to the bottom position when the ignition switch is turned to the ªSTARTº position.

84

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

NOTICE

Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.

85

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

ODOMETER AND TRIP METER

This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To change the mode indication, push the ªODO/TRIPº button briefly. Each time you push the button, the mode changes in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B, then back to the odometer, etc.

The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The twin trip meter records two different distances independently.

For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip.

To set the A trip meter to zero, display the A meter reading, push the button and hold it. The same applies for the B trip

meter.

Vehicles with dynamic laser cruise control

The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical power source is disconnected.

If the lamp remains on, or the lamp comes on while driving, first check the followings.

Empty fuel tank

If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immediately.

Loose fuel tank cap

If the fuel tank cap is loose, securely tighten it.

These cases are temporary malfunctions. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips.

If the lamp does not go off even after several trips, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

If the fuel tank is not empty or the fuel tank cap is not

loose...

There is a problem somewhere in the engine, emission control system, electronic throttle control system, automatic transmission electrical system or warning light system itself.

Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

If engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem somewhere in the electronic throttle control system.

At this time, vibration may occur. However, if you depress the accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

Even if the abnormality of the electronic throttle control system is corrected during low speed driving, the system may not be recovered until the engine is stopped and the ignition key is turned to the ªACCº or ªLOCKº position.
