AIR CONDITIONING
199 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 Ð
Push the A/Cº button to turn the air conditioning on and push
it again to turn the air conditioning off.
The air conditioning does not work if the outside temperature
is lowered down to around 0C (32F).
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/Cº button will blink. If the indicator of the
A/Cº button blinks even when the A/Cº button is pushed
again, have the compressor checked by your nearest Lexus
dealer.

a maximum air flow.
4. Leave the A/Cº button off.
When the windshield air flow button is pushed, air flows mainly
from the windshield vents and turns on the defogging function
with the purpose of clearing the front view.
Pushing this button once again returns the air flow mode to the

(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid-range, and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid-range
and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the
front and rear sound levels is also important.

broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while decreasing the volume
of another.
Each time you push the AUDIO CONTROLº knob, the
display changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance, turn the knob.

speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.(c) Automatic sound levelizer
When the audio sound becomes difficult to be heard due to
road noise, wind noise, etc. during driving, the system adjusts
to the optimum volume and tone quality according to the noise
level. While the automatic sound levelizer is on, ASLº appears
