Q
Outside/recirculated air mode
O
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.
O
Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
Q
Registering air conditioning settings to
electronic keys
O
Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic
key and turning the engine switch <power
switch> to IGNITION ON mode <ON
mode> will recall that key’s registered air
conditioning settings.
O
When the engine switch <power switch>
is turned off, the current air conditioning
settings will automatically be registered
to the electronic key that was used to
unlock the vehicle.
O
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 the passenger door.
O
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 autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

Q
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:
O
Engine speed and compressor operation
controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
O
Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance,
perform the following operations:
O
Turn off eco air conditioning mode (if
equipped) (
P.345)
O
Adjust the fan speed
O
Turn off Eco drive mode (
P.292)
Q
When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is selected.
Q
Ventilation and air conditioning odors
O
To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning
system to the outside air mode.
O
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.
O
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.
O
When parking, the system automatically
switches to fresh air intake mode to
encourage better air circulation through-
out the vehicle, helping to reduce odors
that occur when starting the vehicle.

WARNING
Q
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The difference
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.
Q
When the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mir-
ror surfaces, as they can become very
hot and burn you.

nanoe™ system
This vehicle incorporates a biocidal prod-

Ionised air generated by a device incorpo-
rated in the vehicle purifies the air in the
cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substance: Free radicals generated
in situ from ambient air or water
nanoe™ helps to provide purified air by
emitting electrically charged water parti-
cles through the front center vent on the
driver’s side
*
.
O
When the fan is turned on and nanoe™
on the option control screen is selected,
the nanoe™ system is activated.
O
When the fan is operated in the following
conditions, system performance will be
maximized. If the following conditions are
not met, performance will be limited.
• The
,
or
air outlets are
being used.
• The front center vent on driver’s side is
open.
O
When nanoe™ is generated, a small
amount of ozone is emitted and may be
faintly smelled in some situations. How-
ever, this is approximately the same as the
amount that already exists in nature, such
as in forests, and it has no affect on the
human body.
O
A slight noise may be heard during oper-
ation. This is not a malfunction.
*
: According to temperature and humidity
conditions, fan speed and direction of the
air flow, the nanoe™ system may not
operate at full capacity.
