■
Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode but-
ton to outside air mode if the recirculated
air mode is used. (It may switch automati-
cally.)
To defog the windshield and the side win-
dows early, turn the air flow and tempera-
ture up.
To return to the previous mode, press the
windshield defogger switch again when the
windshield is defogged.
■
Defogging the rear window and
outside rear view mirrors
Defoggers are used to defog the rear
window, and to remove raindrops, dew
and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after a period of time.

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/recir-
culated air mode switch.
■
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“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.
■
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 auto-
matically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
■
Registering air conditioning settings to
electronic keys (vehicles with driving
position memory)
●
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 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 access system with

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 (
■
When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 32°F (0°C)
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 sys-
tem. 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.

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.
■
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.
NOTICE
■
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system
on longer than necessary when the
engine is off.
■
When repairing/replacing parts of
the air conditioning system
Have repair/replacement performed by
your Lexus dealer.
When a part of the air conditioning sys-
tem, such as the evaporator, is to be
replaced, it must be replaced with a new
one.
