or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on
the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
Check for and remove any excess
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s
roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from the
bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
■
To protect the windshield wipers
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and move the shift
lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may
freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.
When the parking brake is in automatic
mode, release the parking brake after shift-
ing the shift lever to P. (
If the vehicle is left parked with the
brakes damp in cold temperatures,
there is a possibility of the brakes
freezing.
If the vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P
*
.
*
: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
Vehicles with 17-inch tires
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.

WARNING
■
When parking the vehicle
When parking the vehicle without apply-
ing the parking brake, make sure to
chock the wheels. If you do not chock the
wheels, the vehicle may move unexpect-
edly, possibly resulting in an accident.

■
Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when
installing and removing chains:
●
Install and remove tire chains in a safe
location.
●
Install tire chains on the front tires. Do not
install tire chains on the rear tires.
●
Install tire chains on front tires as tightly
as possible. Retighten chains after driving
1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).
●
Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.
To enable the windshield wipers to be
lifted when heavy snow or icy condi-
tions are expected, change the rest
position of the windshield wipers from
the retracted position below the hood
to the service position using the wiper
lever. (

shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode
switch to outside air mode if the recircu-
lated air mode is used. (It may switch auto-
matically.)
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

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 15 to 60 minutes. The operation time
changes according to the ambient tem-
perature and vehicle speed.
■
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 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. 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.

controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
●
Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●
Turn off eco air conditioning mode
(
●
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
system. This may then cause odor to be
emitted from the vents.
●
To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring, 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.
■
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 system, such as the evapo-
rator, is to be replaced, it must be
