recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside
air mode may be automatically
switched to in accordance with the
temperature setting and the inside
temperature.
D Window defogger feature
Recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch to outside air
mode in situations where the win-
dows need to be defogged.
D When outside air temperature is
below 32 _F(0 _C)
The cooling and dehumidification
function may not operate even
when “A/C” is on.
D When the indicator light on “A/C”
flashes
Touch “A/C” to turn off the air con-
ditioning system and turn it on
again. There may be a problem in
the air conditioning system if the
indicator light continues to flash.
Turn the air conditioning system
off and have it inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
D Automatic air intake change mode
(with rear air conditioning system)
In automatic mode, the system au-
tomatically switches between re-
circulated air and outside air
modes according to whether the
system detects harmful sub-
stances such as exhaust gas in the
air outside.(g) Windshield wiper de− icer
This feature is used to prevent ice from
building up on the windshield and wiper
blades.
The windshield wiper de −icer can be oper-
ated when the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

(h) Rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogging
To turn the electric rear window and
outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the button above.
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch must
be in IGNITION ON mode.
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 system is on.
The indicator light is on when the defogger
is operating.
CAUTION
When the outside rear view mirror de-
foggers are on, do not touch the out-
side surface of the rear view mirror as
it can become very hot and burn you.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 to 270 minutes. The operation
time changes according to the ambient
temperature and vehicle speed.
If further defrosting or defogging is de-
sired, simply actuate the switch again.
When the surface has cleared, push the
button once again to turn the defogger off.
Continuous use may cause the battery to
discharge, especially during stop−and− go
driving. The defogger is not designed to
dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily
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
when the engine is not running.

WIDE VIEW FRONT & SIDE MONITOR
314
This system can display the wide view
front monitor and the side monitor sepa-
rately or at the same time.
The wide view front monitor uses a super−
wide angle lens to display on screen the
areas to the left and right of the vehicle and
the blind spots to the front of the vehicle.
This system helps the driver check for ap-
proaching cars, bicycles and pedestrians
when at intersections with poor visibility.
The side monitor uses a camera installed
in the passenger ’s side outside rear view
mirror to display on screen the area to the
front− right of the vehicle, helping the driver
check this area.
CAUTION
DWhen using the wide view front &
side monitor system, observe
these precautions to avoid an acci-
dent that could result in death or
serious injuries.
DNever depend solely on the mon-
itor system.
DAlways check visually to confirm
your intended path is clear.
DDepicted distances between ob-
jects and flat surfaces differ from
actual distances.
DDo not use the system if the hood
or the front passenger ’s door is
not completely closed.
DThe displayed image may be darker
and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
DDo not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
DOn icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
DWhen using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
DOn roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or slo-
pes.
NOTICE
D If the front of the vehicle or the pas-
senger side outside rear view mir-
ror is hit, the camera’s position
and mounting angle may change.
Contact your Lexus dealer.
D As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, dis-
assemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
D If the temperature changes rapid-
ly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not oper-
ate normally.
D Do not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.
D Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.
D When replacing the tires, please
consult your Lexus dealer. If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
D Even if an obstacle is no longer
visible on the side monitor, do not
turn the steering wheel further in
the direction the vehicle is turning
until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If the
steering wheel is turned to full
lock, the vehicle will turn in the
smallest possible turning circle,
and may collide with the obstacle.
D When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.

APPENDIX
406
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some case 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
