Lexus ES350 2022 Gauges and Meters User Manual
Introduction
The luxury car branch of Toyota, Lexus, produces the ES350, an upscale sedan. The newest model, with a cutoff date of September 2021, that I am aware of is the 2021 ES350. As a result, I am unable to provide any detailed information regarding the Lexus ES350 2022’s gauges and metres. But generally speaking, the interior of the Lexus ES350 is renowned for being sophisticated and stylish, and it frequently features a well-designed instrument cluster with a variety of gauges and metres. These metres and gauges give the driver crucial information about the vehicle’s performance, including speed, fuel level, engine rpm, and a number of other indicators.
As high-quality components and cutting-edge technology are frequently found in Lexus vehicles, the 2022 ES350 is probably going to include a contemporary and user-friendly instrument panel. It might have a digital display as well as analogue gauges to provide information that is easy to read and understand. I advise consulting the official Lexus website or calling a Lexus dealership for the most complete and up-to-date information about the specific gauges and metres in the Lexus ES350 2022 model.

In the following situations, the actual quantity of fuel remaining in the tank may not be displayed correctly. Refer to P.69 if the actual quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is not displayed correctly.- A small amount of fuel is added.
- Fuel is added with the fuel gauge near or at “F”.
- The vehicle is stopped on an uneven surface, such as a slope.
- The vehicle is driven on a slope or around a curve.
- Shift position and shift range
- Odometer and trip meter display
Manually Updating the Fuel Gauge and Possible Driving Range
The fuel gauge and the possible driving range are linked. If the displays of the fuel gauge and possible driving range do not update after adding a small amount of fuel, the displays can be updated by performing the following procedure.
- Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
- Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to change the odometer and trip meter display to the odometer.
- Turn the engine switch off.
- While pressing and holding the “ODO TRIP” switch, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
- Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP” switch for approximately 5 seconds, and then release it once the odometer begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the odometer flashes for approximately 5 seconds and then the display returns to normal.
Outside Temperature Display
- In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
- When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
- 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.
- Liquid crystal display
- Customization
The gauges and meters can be customized on
the multi-information display.
WARNING
The information displayed 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.
