    2. Warning display flowchart
      1. The warning displays are automatically scrolled.
      2. The warning sound is emitted simultaneously with the warning display only when the warning first occurs. (Preparation delay is within 210 milliseconds.)
      3. When a warning first occurs, it is displayed as a new warning.
      4. When several warnings occur, each warning is displayed for 2 seconds. However, when a new warning is first displayed, the display lasts for 6 seconds.
      5. For the "Moon Roof Opened" and "To start, depress the brake pedal, and push the engine switch" symptoms, the ECUs of the respective systems cannot send signals with the engine switch on (IG). As a result, the meter cannot display information for these symptoms with the engine switch on (IG).
      6. Conditions for master warning illumination (for situations with several warning displays).
        • The master warning blinks or illuminates according to the highest priority warning.
        • Even if each individual warning would not cause the master warning to illuminate, the cyclic display causes the master warning to illuminate.
      7. Even if a warning has its own indicator, the warning is still cycled in the multi-information display.
