Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning

“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 recircu-

lated 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

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.

5-3. Using the air conditioning system

Outside/recirculated air mode

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.

Outside/recirculated air mode may

automatically switch depending on the

temperature setting or the inside tem-

perature.

Registering air conditioning settings to

electronic keys

Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic

key and turning the engine switch to ON

will recall that key’s registered air condi-

tioning settings.

When the engine switch is turned off, the

current air conditioning settings will auto-

matically 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 entry & start system

is used to unlock the passenger door.

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

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

: The doors that can recall the driving posi-

tion memory are changed at the same
time.

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:

Engine speed and compressor operation

controlled to restrict heating/cooling

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 (



P.262)

When the outside temperature falls to

nearly 0°C (32°F)

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 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.

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

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.

Outside air mode switches to

(recirculated air) mode. Pollen is removed

from the air and the air flows to the upper

part of the body.
Usually the system will automatically turn

off after approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
In order to prevent the windshield from fog-

ging up when the outside air is cold, the

dehumidification function may operate or

the outside/recirculated air mode may not
switch to

(recirculated air) mode.

Pollen is filtered even if the pollen removal

mode is turned off.

nanoe™ system

This vehicle incorporates a biocidal prod-

uct.
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

When the fan is turned on and nanoe™

on the option control screen is selected,

the nanoe™ system is activated.

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 ,

air

outlets

are

being used.

• The front center vent on driver’s side is

open.

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.

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.

WARNING

To prevent burns (vehicles with wind-

shield wiper de-icer)

Do not touch the glass at lower part of

the windshield or to the side of the front

pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer

is on.

according to the temperature setting and

the ambient conditions.

Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until

warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-

ately after the automatic mode switch is

pressed or “AUTO” is selected.

Cool air may blow around the upper

body even when the heater is on due to

sunlight.

When the soft top roof is opened, the fan

speed and air outlets may be automati-

cally changed according to the sunlight

or vehicle speed.

Windshield fog detection function

When automatic mode is set, the humidity

sensor detects fog on the windshield and

controls the air conditioning system to pre-

vent fog.

Automatic mode for air intake control

In automatic mode, the system detects

exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-

matically switches between outside air and

recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,

and the fan is operating, turning automatic

mode on will activate the dehumidification

function.

WARNING

nanoe™ generator

Do not disassemble or repair the gener-

ator because it contains high voltage

parts. Contact any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer if the generator

needs repair.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the nanoe™

Do not insert anything into the driver’s

side vent, attach anything to it, or use

sprays around the driver’s side vent.

These things may cause the generator

not to work properly.

Using automatic mode

NOTICE

Humidity sensor

In order to detect fog on the windshield,

a sensor which monitors the temperature
