■

When the outside temperature exceeds

75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning

system is on

●

In order to reduce the air conditioning

power consumption, the air conditioning

system may switch to recirculated air

mode automatically.

This may also reduce fuel consumption.

●

Recirculated air mode is selected as a

default mode when the engine switch is

turned to ON.

●

It is possible to switch to outside air mode

at any time by pressing the outside/recir-

culated air mode switch.

■

Fogging up of the windows

●

The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning the

cooling and dehumidification function on

will dehumidify the air from the outlets

and defog the windshield effectively.

●

If you turn the cooling and dehumidifica-

tion function off, the windows may fog up

more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the recircu-

lated air mode is used.

■

When driving on dusty roads

Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the

vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after

closing the windows, it is recommended

that the air intake mode be set to outside air

mode and the fan speed to any setting

except off.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

●

Setting to the recirculated air mode tem-

porarily is recommended in preventing

dirty air from entering the vehicle interior

and helping to cool the vehicle when the

outside air temperature is high.

●

Outside/recirculated air mode may

automatically switch depending on the

temperature setting or the inside tem-

perature.

■

When the outside temperature falls to

nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may not

operate even when “A/C” switch is

selected.

■

Operation of the air conditioning sys-

tem in Eco drive mode

●

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning

system is controlled as follows to priori-

tize fuel efficiency:

• Engine speed and compressor operation

controlled to restrict heating/cooling

capacity

• Fan speed restricted when automatic

mode is selected

●

To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Turn off Eco drive mode (



P.344)

• Turn off eco air conditioning mode

●

When the driving mode is set to Eco

drive mode, the eco air conditioning

mode will be turned on automatically.

Even in this case, the eco air conditioning

mode can be turned off by selecting the

eco air conditioning mode switch.

■

Ventilation and air conditioning odors

●

To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning

system to the outside air mode.

●

During use, various odors from inside

and outside the vehicle may enter into

390

5-3. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

and accumulate in the air conditioning

system. This may then cause odor to be

emitted from the vents.

●

In order to suppress odors that occur

when the air conditioning system starts,

the air flow mode may change to blow air

to the feet or air may stop blowing for a

short period of time immediately after the

air conditioning system is started in auto-

matic mode.

●

When parking, the system automatically

switches to outside air mode to encour-

age better air circulation throughout the

vehicle, helping to reduce odors that

occur when starting the vehicle.

●

To reduce potential odors from occur-

ring:

• It is recommended that the air condition-

ing system be set to outside air mode

prior to turning the vehicle off.

• The start timing of the blower may be

delayed for a short period of time imme-

diately after the air conditioning system is

started in automatic mode.

■

Using the Intelligent Assistant

Air conditioning system can be operated

using voice commands. For details, refer to

the “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MAN-

UAL”.

tions turn off and only ambient temperature

air is blown, and there is a possibility that the

blowing of ambient temperature air will

stop. To prevent the air conditioning system

from turning off, press the Stop & Start can-

cel switch to deactivate the system.

■

Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automatically

according to the temperature setting and

the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until

warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-

ately after the automatic mode switch is

pressed.
Cool air may blow around the upper body

even when the heater is on due to sunlight.

■

Automatic mode for air intake control

In automatic mode, the system detects

exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-

matically switches between outside air and

recirculated air modes. When the dehu-

midification function is off, and the fan is

operating, turning automatic mode on will

activate the dehumidification function.

To turn on the “SYNC” mode, select
the “SYNC” switch on the air condi-
tioning control screen.

The driver’s side temperature control
switches can be used to adjust the tem-
perature for the driver’s and passenger’s
side. To enter individual mode, operate the
passenger’s side temperature control
switches or select the “SYNC” switch
again.
When the “SYNC” mode is on, the indica-
tor illuminates on display.

WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fog-

ging up

Do not use the windshield defogger

switch during cool air operation in

extremely humid weather.

The difference between the temperature

of the outside air and that of the wind-

shield can cause the outer surface of the

windshield to fog up, blocking your

vision.

■

defoggers are operating

Do not touch the rear view mirror sur-

faces when the outside rear view mirror

defoggers are on.

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system

on longer than necessary when the

engine is not running.

■

When repairing/replacing parts of

the air conditioning system

Have repair/replacement performed by

your Lexus dealer. When a part of the air

conditioning system, such as the evapo-

rator, is to be replaced, it must be

replaced with a new one.
