Default 2015 IS350 Fsport AWD - Option to relocate the fuel gauge?


Just curious...

When you select the option to move the main unit to the right side to show the drive data options (gear indicator shown in this case), the fuel gauge gets shown on the bottom left. My question is, is there an option to relocate the fuel gauge in this specific configuration or will it always be on the bottom left when the main unit itself is moved to the right?

appreciate the replies!

There's no option to do that that I am aware of. Most of the gauge cluster displays are fixed in place.

that’s what I thought too.

Any definitive answers?

Lexus has a 1800 number and I was thinking about calling and asking them about this but I think they might defer me to visit a dealership

I’m 99% sure it’s fixed. If it wasn’t we would be able to change things like that in the settings not just the needle color. It would be pretty cool if it was full customizable though.

thanks for the reply. Not that I’m doubting you, but you’re absolutely sure that the fuel gauge in this postion cannot be moved or deleted? Would have been cool to swap it with the coolant temp gauge

Cool, thank you guys for the definitive answers. It just would have been cool to swap the location of the fuel gauge on the bottom left to where the temp garage is

The fuel gauge is a lot easier to read when the tachometer is in this position. Hope that helps, at least.

100% correct, but I love the other position as I love the gear position indicator

The gear position indicator can also be accessed in the default position.
