DRIVING POSITION MEMORYSYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver’s
seat, and the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and
outside rear view mirrors. Two different driving position
profiles can be entered into the computer’s memory.
Recording the driving position in the computer’s memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and
the selector lever is in the “P” position.
Setting the driving position
16X162
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering and
outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2”
until the signal beeps. The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer’s memory.
By repeating these two steps
and pressing the remaining
button, the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
16X163
When you push button “1” or “2”, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

Automatic tiltaway*
16X100f
When the ignition key is removed, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for
easy exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering
column returns to the previously set position.NOTE: *This feature can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus
dealer for details.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
16X013a
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in “AUTO” mode, the
outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the reflection
of the headlights of the following vehicle. For details, see
“Inside rear view mirror” on page 196.
When you push the outside rear view mirror defogger switch,
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly
clear the mirror surface. (See “Outside rear view mirror
defogger switch” on page 38.)

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
16X016e
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Pushing the switch changes the mode between “AUTO”
and “DAY”.
The indicator comes on when the “AUTO” mode is selected.
“DAY” mode: The mirror surface is normal.
“AUTO” mode: If the mirror detects light from the
headlights of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface
darkens slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the “AUTO” mode. When
the inside air temperature is low, it may take a little longer
for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of
headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle
and an accident may occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
16x658b
To ensure correct functioning of antiglare mirror sensors
located on both sides of the mirror, do not touch or cover
the sensors with your finger or a piece of cloth, etc.

AIR CONDITIONING

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS
20X017e
You can adjust the brightness of the display. See
“Instrument panel light control” on page 66 for details.
The automatic air conditioning automatically maintains
the set temperature.
This air conditioning features automatic fan speed and air flow
control which automatically se lects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow to control the temperature. The ignition key
must be in the “ON” position.NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the air conditioning on longer than necessary
when the engine is not running.

AIR CONDITIONING

If manual switching of air intake is desired
20X023a
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.
1 RECIRCULATED mode If quick circulation of cooled air
is desired, select this mode.
2 EXHAUST 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 “AUTO”
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.
In the following cases, the RECIRCULATED mode may
change to the OUTSIDE AIR mode automatically to prevent
interior fog.
 When the outside temperature becomes lower than 4 C
(39 F).
 When the air conditioning compressor malfunctions.
 When the air conditioning cooler refrigerant decreases.
To change the sensitivity of the sensor switching between
the RECIRCULA TED and OUTSIDE AIR in the AUTOMATIC
mode, push the air intake control button until the “AUTO”
indicator light flashes. The display changes as illustrated
below.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted only while the
vehicle has stopped.

When you turn the “TEMP” knob, the sensitivity changes from
“+3” down to “−3”. If you do not operate any button for a few
seconds or if you push a button other than the air intake control
button and temperature control knob, the previous display
returns.
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. 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
(32 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 AUTOMA TIC 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 “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.
