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 automat-
ically 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 access system with push-button start is used to unlock a passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact your Lexus dealer.

Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after the Automatic mode switch is pressed.

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
IGNITION ON mode.
●
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing the outside/recircu-
lated air mode switch.
■
Fogging up of the windows
●
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Touching “A/C”
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●
If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●
The windows may fog up if the recirculated 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 clos-
ing 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 temporarily 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 tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature.
