2. Take out the air filter.
Inspect the lower surface of the filter. If it is just moderately
dusty, it may be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the
lower surface. Do not wash or oil the filter.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced. To maintain the air
conditioning efficiency, replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule.
NOTICE
Do not drive with the air filter removed, or the efficiency
of air conditioning may be lost.
(d) Operating tips
Make sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are
not blocked by leaves or other obstructions.
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the dashboard
vents. (See “Center vents”, “Side vents”, “Lower vent” and
“Rear vents”.)
To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot sun,
drive for the first few minutes with the windows open. After
the excess heat has blown away, close the windows.
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
control button be left to the OUTSIDE AIR mode and the fan
speed control button be pressed to anywhere except the
“OFF” button.
If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in
windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air
intake control button be temporarily pressed in to the
RECIRCULATED AIR mode, which will close off the outside
passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.

108(c) Your radio antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio and ignition
are turned on and retracts when either is turned off.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is close
enough to get injured.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
retracted before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the
right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the cassette player, and do not
insert anything except a cassette tape into the slot.
(e) Your automatic changer
If your Lexus is equipped with an automatic changer, it can play
selected discs or continuously play all the discs set in the
magazine.
When you set discs into the magazine, make sure they face the
correct way. If not, the player will display “Err” and the disc
number.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact
disc player. Do not insert anything except a compact
disc into the magazine.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Using 8 cm (3.2 in.) discs requires the use of an adaptor, which
could cause tracking errors or interfere with disc ejection.

“RPT” button: Use it for automatic repeat of the track you are

If “WAIT” appears on the display, audio signals of the disc
cannot be read or the system has trouble. Push the “CD” button
once again.
If the player does not operate, check that the disc surface is not
soiled or damaged. If the disc is O.K., the following two causes
are possible.
Condensation may have occurred on the internal
mechanism of the automatic changer. Open the cover to let
the air circulate.
The temperature of the player’s internal mechanism is
raised because of high external temperature. Remove the
magazine from the player to cool it.
If the player still does not operate, take it to your Lexus dealer.
Car audio system operating hints
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception does not mean there
is a problem with your radio − it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with
FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range,
and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your
vehicle moves.
