AIR CONDITIONING
cxcThis position allows the air intake to select OUTSIDE AIR
mode automatically. This is to clean up the front view more
quickly.
If you want to return the setting to RECIRCULATED AIR mode,
push the air intake control button once again.
Push
the “A/C” button for dehumidified heating or cooling. This
setting clears the front view more quickly.
If quick heating or cooling is desired —
Push the “TEMP” or “PASSENGER TEMP” button on either
side and hold it until “MAX. HOT” or “MAX. COLD” appears on
the display. If manual fan speed control is desired —
1Fan speed at low2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by pushing the

If manual switching of air intake is desired —
The air intake control button is used to switch the air intake
between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR
mode.
To turn the air source to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode, press
the button. The indicator will come on. To turn the air source
to OUTSIDE AIR mode, press the button again. The indicator
will go off.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the air intake mode
may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR mode
depending on the condition of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the air
intake mode may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR
mode. This is not a malfunction.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control
button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The 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 onoff 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.
The air conditioning does not work if the outside temperature
is lowered down to around 0 C (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/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.
Displaying the outside temperature —
The temperature display ranges from −30C (−22F) up to
50 C (122 F).

In the “TAPE” or “CD” mode, the applicable functions are
shown in the lowest part of the display. Push the switch
just below to turn on each function.
(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.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
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 CONTROL” knob, the
display changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance, turn the knob.
BAS: Adjusts low− pitched tones.
MID: Adjusts mid− pitched tones.
TRE: Adjusts high− pitched tones.
FAD: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.

AUDIO
ccvi(c) Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL)
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, “ASL”
appears on the display.
(d) Your radio antennas
The wire antenna is mounted inside the rear window.
NOTICE
 When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the wire antenna.
 Putting a film (especially, a conductive or metallic
film) on the rear window may affect the reception of
radio or mobile telephone. For the installation of the
window tint, consult with your Lexus dealer.
(e) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to
the right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the cassette
player. Do not insert anything other than cassette tapes
into the slot.
(f) Your CD player
When you insert a CD, gently push it in with the label face up.
The player will play from track 1 through to the end of the CD.
Then it will play from track 1 again. On models with the CD
changer, next CD will be played from track 1.
NOTICE
 Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the CD
player. Do not insert anything other than CDs into the
slot.
 Do not insert a CD upon another one.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs only.

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
Push the “AM” or “FM” button to choose either an AM or
FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
Turn this knob to the right to step up the station band or
to the left to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.
