Air conditioning controls
When the [AUTO] switch is on, the air outlets and fan speed will automatically be
changed according to the set temperature.
NOTICE
● Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the hybrid
system is off.
● When repairing/replacing parts of the air conditioning system, have repair/replace-
ment performed by your Lexus dealer. When a part of the air conditioning system,
such as the evaporator, is to be replaced, it must be replaced with a new one.
INFORMATION
■ 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 power switch is turned
to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by select the outside/recirculat-
ed air mode switch.
■ 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.
■
When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when [A/C] is selected.
■
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 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 immediate-
ly after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
