AIR CONDITIONING AND AUDIO
82The automatic air conditioning automatically maintains the set
temperature.
This air conditioning features automatic fan speed and air flow
control which automatically selects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow to control the temperature. The ignition key
must be in the “ON” position.
You may use manual controls to override the automatic
settings.
(a) Climate control
SETTING OPERATION − automatic control
1. Push the “AUTO
.TEMP” knob.
Air flow quantity, switching of the diffusers, on-off of the air
conditioning, and switching of the air intake between
RECIRCULATED AIR and OUTSIDE AIR are automatically
adjusted. The operation status is shown by each indicator.
When one of the manual control buttons is depressed while
operating in automatic mode, the operation corresponding to
the button depressed is set. Other conditions continue to be
adjusted automatically.
2. Turn the “AUTO
.TEMP” knob until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The “AUTO
.TEMP” knob is used to set the desired passenger
compartment temperature. The temperature of air delivered to
the passenger compartment will be controlled automatically
according to the setting. The figures on the panel indicate
degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade.SETTING OPERATION − manual control
If manual air flow selection is desired −
The outlets from which air is delivered can be selected
manually by pushing either side of the air flow control
(MODE) button. The mode appears on the display. The
function of each mode is as follows:
FACE mode − Directs air flow at face level.
BI-LEVEL mode − Directs air flow at face level, and at
floor level for both front and rear. Except in ventilation, the air
to the floor is slightly warmer than air to the face.
FLOOR mode − Directs air flow mostly at floor level for
both front and rear.
FLOOR / WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow to the
windshield and front side windows as well as floor level for both
front and rear.
FRONT WINDSHIELD mode − Directs air flow mostly to
the windshield and front side windows.
When this mode is selected while operating in automatic
mode, the air conditioning is set to operate and the OUTSIDE
AIR mode is set.
If you push the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” button once again
while in the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode, the mode then
returns to the last mode used.

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.

damage. Avoid using tapes with a total playing time longer
than 90 minutes.
Using damaged tapes may cause harm to the tape player.
Longer tapes are not recommended because of their thinness.

stuck on the shell before insertion.
Wind the tape firmly by turning the hub with a pencil or the like.
Be careful not to touch the tape surface
When not in use, take the cassette out of the player, put it
back into its case and store it away from dust, magnets
and direct sunlight.
Leaving cassettes on the dashboard in the sun could damage
your tapes.
Keep the interior mechanism of the cassette player clean.
Once or twice a month, use a wet type cleaning cassette to
clear off tape coating residue accumulated on the head,
capstan and pinch roller.
NOTICE:
Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert
anything other than cassette tapes into the slot, or the
tape player may be damaged.
