SWITCHES

REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDEREAR VIEW MIRRORDEFOGGER SWITCH
12L008-4
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push
the switch.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window
and the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. Keep your hands off the mirror
faces when the switch is on. An indicator light is on when
the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger
has operated about 15 minutes.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
137
Adjust the m
irror so that you can just see the side of
your vehicle in the mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ºAUTOº
mode, the outside rear view mirrors also darken to
reduce the reflection of the headlights of the following
vehicle. For details, see ºInside rear view mirrorº on
page 141.
When you push the rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
CAUTION
 Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
It may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur, resulting in personal injuries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your
hands off them when the rear window and outside
rear view mirror defogger switch is on.

AIR CONDITIONING
232
21L008-4
Each time you push the air intake control button, the
mode changes in order from the RECIRCULATED AIR
mode to AUTOMATIC mode to OUTSIDE AIR mode,
then back to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode. Each
indicator light shows which mode is now selected.
1RECIRCULATED mode ± If quick circulation of
cooled air is desired, select this mode.
2EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode ± If the
outside air contains harmful substances like
exhaust gas (i.e., when the vehicle running just in
front of your vehicle accelerates rapidly), the
system changes automatically from the OUTSIDE
AIR mode (with indicators
2 and 3 on) to the
RECIRCULATED mode (with indicators 1 and 2 on).
3 OUTSIDE AIR mode ± The system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle. Turning off the air conditioning manually will cancel the
EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode. If you select the
ªAUTOº mode during fan operating, the air conditioning
turns on and the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode
will operate.
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.
To change the sensitivity of the sensor switching
between the RECIRCULATED and OUTSIDE AIR in
the AUTOMATIC mode, push the air intake control
button until you hear a beep. The display changes
as illustrated below.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted only while
the vehicle has stopped.

AIR CONDITIONING
233
21L044
When you push either side of the ºTEMPº button several
times, the sensitivity changes from º+3º down to º±3º. If
you do not operate any button for a few seconds, the
previous display returns.
If manual on±off of the air conditioning is desired ±
Push the ºA/Cº button to turn the air conditioning on and
push it again to turn the air conditioning off. If you turn
off the air conditioning manually, the EXHAUST GAS
AUTOMATIC mode will be cancelled.
If the outside temperature is lowered down to around
0 C ( 3 2 F), the air conditioning will turn off
automatically. At this time, the indicator on the A/C
button is off and the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC
indicator light remains on. However, the EXHAUST
GAS AUTOMATIC mode does not operate. When the
air conditioning turns on as with the raised temperature,
the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode resumes. 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 ºA/Cº button will blink. If the indicator of
the ºA/Cº button blinks even when the ºA/Cº button is
pushed again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest Lexus dealer.
