Anyone notice the "READY" indicator that's on the dash of the 2014 350 f-sport or know when it illuminates (it's just below the right turn signal)? I checked the manual and it's nowhere to be found.

 

Typically that is used on Toyota/Lexus Hybrid vehicles. It indicates the vehicle is ON and ready to be driven. It is off when the vehicle is turned off. Since the engine doesn't run at start on a Hybrid, it's a safety indicator so that you know the state of the vehicle.

Probably making way to use the cluster in a Hybrid at a later date instead of having to develop a different part.

 

Yep, for the hybrid. It's just the same cluster.

 

indeed. the ready light tells the driver that the car is on, but the engine is not, in a lexus hybrid.

 

You guys are all wrong! It's actually an indicator light that lets you know that the secret launch control is 'ready' when you've successfully activated it...



j/k!

 

The ready light is always on in my IS 300hybrid when it is turned on, even if the engine is running.
I belive they made the light, so you know that you can still drive when the enigne shuts off.
Otherwise it would be a bit tricky to know the difference between when only the ignition is on, and when the car is ready to drive.
