trol
1. Push the “AUTO” button.
An indicator light will illuminate to show
that the automatic operation mode has
been selected.
Air flow quantity, switching of the diffusers,
on− off of the air conditioning, and switch-
ing of the air intake between RECIRCU-
LATED AIR and OUTSIDE AIR are auto-
matically adjusted. The operation status is
shown by each indicator.
When one of the manual control buttons is
depressed while operating in automatic
mode, the mode relevant to the depressed
button is set. Other conditions continue to
be adjusted automatically.
Push the “OFF”button to turn the fan off.
INFORMATION
DThis automatic control has addi-
tional function as described below,
when the “AUTO” button is
pushed.
The fan speed is stopped for a little
while until warm air preparation,
when outside temperature is cold
like a winter season in the “Floor”,
“Bi− level” or “Floor/Windshield”
air flow mode. If quick removal for
exterior frost, fog and inside fog on
the windshield is desired, use the
high fan speed setting after the
“Windshield” air flow mode has
been selected.
The fan speed is stopped few sec-
onds until cool air preparation,
when outside temperature is hot
like a summer season in the “Pan-
el” or “Bi− level” air flow mode.
D The “Floor/Windshield” air flow
mode may be applied automatical-
ly, if the outside temperature is
lowered down to below 0 _C (32 _F).
This is not malfunction. The
“Floor/Windshield” air flow mode
turns on the defogging and de-
frosting function with the purpose
of cleaning your front view for safe
driving.
If the “Floor” air flow mode is de-
sired with the main purpose of
heating, “Floor” air flow mode can
be selected manually by touching
the air flow control button.

When you set the temperature selec-
tor setting at about the middle in auto-
matic operation, warm air flows out of
the floor vents and relatively low −
temperature air flows out of the in-
strument panel vents and rear vents.
3 Floor — Air flows mainly from the
floor vents and rear vents.
4 Floor/windshield — Air flows mainly
from the floor vents, windshield vents
and rear vents.

If manual switching of air intake is de-
sired —
Each time you push the air intake control
button, the mode changes in order from
the RECIRCULATED AIR mode to AUTO-
MATIC mode to OUTSIDE AIR mode, then
back to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode.
Each indicator light shows which mode is
now selected.
1 RECIRCULATED AIR mode —If
quick circulation of cooled air is de-
sired, select this mode.
2 EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode (on some models) — If the outside
air contains harmful substances like
exhaust gas (i.e., when the vehicle
running just in front of your vehicle ac-
celerates rapidly), the system
changes automatically from the
OUTSIDE AIR mode (with indicators
2 and3on) to the RECIRCU-
LATED AIR mode (with indicators
1 and2on).
3 OUTSIDE AIR mode — The system
will take fresh outside air into the ve-
hicle. Turning off the air conditioning manually
will cancel the EXHAUST GAS AUTO-
MATIC mode. If you select the “AUTO”
mode during fan operating, the air condi-
tioning turns on and the EXHAUST GAS
AUTOMATIC mode will operate.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air in-
take control button set to OUTSIDE AIR
mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easi-
ly.

To change the sensitivity of the sensor
switching between the RECIRCU-
LATED AIR and OUTSIDE AIR in the AU-
TOMATIC mode, push the air intake
control button and hold it for a few sec-
onds.
The “Smog Sensor” screen will be dis-
played.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be ad-
justed only while the vehicle has been
stopped.
The sensitivity of the touch−screen button
is set to be higher toward “HI” and lower to-
ward “LO”.
Touch the desired button on the screen.
When you push the “AUTO”button, the
above screen goes off. If manual on
−off of the air conditioning
is desired —
Touch “A/C” to turn the air conditioning on
and touch it again to turn the air condition-
ing off. If you turn off the air conditioning
manually, the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMAT-
IC mode will be cancelled.
If the outside temperature is below 0 _C
(32 _F), the air conditioning will turn off au-
tomatically. At this time, the indicator on
“A/C” is off and the EXHAUST GAS AU-
TOMATIC indicator light remains on. How-
ever, the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC
mode does not operate. When the air con-
ditioning turns on as with the raised tem-
perature, the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMAT-
IC mode resumes.
If the system is used for ventilation, heat-
ing in dry weather or removing frost or ex-
terior fog on the windshield, turn the air
conditioning off once it is no longer re-
quired. This will improve fuel economy.
The air conditioning can be used for year −
round automatic temperature control in-
cluding cooling and dehumidifying opera-
tion.
If the air conditioning compressor does not
operate, the indicator of “A/C”will blink.
If the indicator of “A/C”blinks even when
“A/C” is touched again, have the com-
pressor checked by your Lexus dealer.

coated with ice, use a spray de −icer before
operating the system.
NOTICE
DWhen cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater wires
or connectors.
DTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
