AIR CONDITIONING AND AUDIO
83 CAUTION:
Do not use the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode during cooled
air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up and block your vision.
If quick heating or cooling is desired −
Obtain maximum power by turning the “AUTO
.TEMP” knob
fully. At this time, “MAX.HOT” or “MAX.COLD” will appear on
the display.
If manual fan speed control is desired −
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by pushing
either side of the fan speed control
(FAN) button. The
higher the fan speed, the more air is delivered. Pushing the
(OFF) button turns off the fan.
To remove exterior windshield frost, use the high speed
setting.
Stopping the fan −
Push the
(OFF) button.
The fan stops in automatic mode or manual mode.
If manual switching of air intake is desired −
The
(AIR INTAKE) button is used to switch the air intake
between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR
mode.With the button in the OUTSIDE AIR mode, the OUTSIDE AIR
mode indicator light will come on and the system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The
RECIRCULATED AIR mode indicator light will come on.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control button
set to OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easily.
If manual on-off of the air conditioning is desired −
Push the
(A / C) button to turn the air conditioning on and
push it again to turn the air conditioning off.
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in dry weather or
removing frost or exterior fog on the windshield, turn the air
conditioning off once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioning can be used for year-round
automatic temperature control including cooling and
dehumidifying operation.
If the air conditioning compressor does not operate, the
indicator of the
(A / C) button will blink. If the indicator of the
(A / C) button blinks even when the (A / C) button is
pushed again, have the compressor checked by your nearest
Lexus dealer.
