capacity
●
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
●
Adjust the fan speed
●
Turn off Eco drive mode
■
Customization
The air conditioning control of Eco drive mode can be changed to the same setting
as that used in normal drive mode.

Air conditioning system settings
●
When the “POWER” switch is turned on, the air conditioning system settings
will be set to those that were in use the last time the “POWER” 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.
●
This feature is customizable at your Lexus dealer.
■
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 button is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm or
cool air is ready to flow.
■
Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if recirculated air mode is used for an extended
period.
■
Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched in accor-
dance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.
