Registering air conditioning settings to

electronic keys

●

Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic

key and turning the engine switch to

IGNITION ON mode will recall that

key’s registered air conditioning settings.

●

When the engine switch is turned off, the

current air conditioning settings will auto-

matically be registered to the electronic

key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

●

The system may not operate correctly if

more than one electronic key is in the

vicinity or if the smart entry & start system

is used to unlock a passenger door.

●

The doors that can recall the air condi-
tioning setting

when unlocked using the

smart entry & start system can be

changed. For details, contact any author-

ized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

: The doors that can recall the driving

position memory are changed at the
same time.

■

Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automatically accord-

ing 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

is pressed or “AUTO” is

selected.

■

Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning

(“A/C”) on will dehumidify the air

from the outlets and defog the windshield

effectively.

●

If you turn

(“A/C”) off, the win-

dows 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 auto-

matically switch depending on the tem-

perature setting or the inside

temperature.

■

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 dehumidification function is off,

and the fan is operating, turning automatic

mode on will activate the dehumidification

function.

■

Operation of the air conditioning sys-

tem in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys-

tem is controlled as follows to prioritize 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 performance,

perform the following operations:

●

Adjust the fan speed

■

When the outside temperature falls to

nearly 0°C (32°F)

■

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 and

accumulate in the air conditioning sys-

tem. This may then cause odor to be

emitted from the vents.

●

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.

WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fog-

ging up

●

ture of the outside air and that of the

windshield can cause the outer surface

of the windshield to fog up, blocking

your vision.

●

Do not place anything on the instru-

ment panel which may cover the air

outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be

obstructed, preventing the windshield

defoggers from defogging.
