 - Air conditioning system settings

When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned on, the air conditioning system settings will be set to those that were in use the last time the “ENGINE START STOP” switch was turned off.

Air conditioning system settings are memorized individually on each electronic key, so the settings reproduced will be specific to the key that is used.

 - Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and ambi- ent conditions. As a result, the following may occur.

• Immediately after the switch is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow.

• Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is on.

 - Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes

Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched to in accordance with the temperature setting, the inside temperature, outside tempera- ture, etc.

 - Using the system in recirculated air mode

The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used.

 - 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 START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.

• It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .

 - Window defogger feature

Recirculated air mode may automatically switch to (outside air) mode in situ- ations where the windows need to be defogged.

 - Automatic mode for air intake control (vehicles with a rear automatic air conditioning system)

In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto- matically switches between outside air and recirculated air modes.

When the air conditioning is off, and the fan is operating, turning automatic mode on will activate the air conditioning system.

 - Micro dust and pollen filter

• In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when the outside air is cold, the following may occur.

• Outside air mode does not switch to (recirculated air) mode.

• The air conditioning system operates automatically.

• The operation cancels after 1 minute.

• In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press .

 - When outside air temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C)

The cooling and dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” button is pressed.

 - When the “A/C ON” in the multi-information display (accessory meter) flashes

Press the “A/C” button and turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn it on again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indica- tor light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Lexus dealer.

 - Air conditioning odors

• During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.

• To reduce potential odors from occurring:

• It is recommended that the air conditioning 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 immediately after the air conditioning system is started in AUTO mode.

 - Customization

Settings (e.g. enable/disable automatic operation of the air conditioning compres- sor when the “AUTO” switch ON) can be changed.

CAUTION

 - To prevent the windshield from fogging up

Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The dif- ference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.

NOTICE

 - To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is stopped.
