AIR CONDITIONING
278
INFORMATION
DWhen the “POWER” switch is
turned on, the air conditioning sys-
tem settings will be set to those
that were in use the last time the
“POWER” switch was turned off.
Air conditioning system settings
are memorized individually on
each electronic key, so the settings
reproduced will be specific to the
key that is used.
D During use, various odors from in-
side and outside the vehicle may
enter into and accumulate in the air
conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted from
the vents.
D To reduce potential odors from oc-
curring:
D It is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to
outside air mode prior to turning
the vehicle off.
D The start timing of the blower
may be delayed for a short peri-
od of time immediately after the
air conditioning system is
started in AUTO mode.
NOTICE
To prevent the 12− volt battery from
being discharged, do not leave the air
conditioning on longer than neces-
sary when the hybrid system is off.

D Using air conditioning while driv-
ing mode is in Eco mode

controlled during Eco mode in or-
der to prioritize fuel consumption
as follows:
D Controls the engine speed or the
compressor operation to re-
strain the heating/cooling capa-
bility.
D Restrains the fan speed when
using in automatic setting.
When you want to improve the ef-
fectiveness of the air conditioning
system, operate as follows:
D Adjust the fan speed.
D Cancel the Eco mode.
The air conditioning setting during
Eco mode can be changed to the
same mode of normal driving by
your Lexus dealer. For details, see

The fuel consumption perfor-
mance driving Eco mode drops
slightly after changing the air con-
ditioning setting.
D Using the system in recirculated
air mode
The windows will fog up more easi-
ly if recirculated air mode is used
for an extended period.

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

function may not operate even
when “A/C” is on.
D When the indicator light on “A/C”

and dehumidification function and
turn it on again. There may be a
problem in the air conditioning
system if the indicator light contin-
ues to flash. Turn the air condition-
ing system off and have it in-
spected by your Lexus dealer.
D Automatic air intake change mode
In automatic mode, the system au-
tomatically switches between re-
circulated air and outside air

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
290
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, shift the shift position to “R”
when the “POWER” switch is in ON
mode.
If you move the shift position out of the “R”,
the screen returns to the previous screen.
Operating another function of the naviga-
tion system will display another screen.
Vehicles with intuitive parking assist−
sensor — when the intuitive parking as-
sist− sensors are turned on and an ob-
stacle is detected in front of or behind
your vehicle, a warning appears on the
right top of the rear view monitor. For
details, see “Intuitive parking assist” on
page 304.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.CAUTION
DNever depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
DNever back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
DDo not use the system when the
trunk is not completely closed.
DUse your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the dis-
played image may become faint or
dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the ve-
hicle visually and with mirror be-
fore proceeding.
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 an uneven or indirect road,
such as a slope or curve.
