When the engine speed reaches or
exceeds the following, an afterimage of
the tachometer will be displayed at the
highest engine speed for approxi-
mately 1 second.
LC500: 3600 r/min
LC500h: 4000 r/min
■ The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch <power switch> is in
IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>.
■ Variable red zone (LC500)
To help protect the engine, the engine
speed is controlled by starting the red zone
of the tachometer at different engine
speeds ranging from 3700 r/min to 7300
r/min depending on the engine coolant
temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load
conditions, make sure to sufficiently warm
up the engine.
■ Instrument panel brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel
lights is automatically adjusted based on the
light sensor detecting how bright the sur-
roundings are.
■ 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.

(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.
