The system will automatically shut off
when the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.
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 12−volt
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 the12− volt battery from
being discharged, turn the switch
off when the hybrid system is off.
(h) Micro dust and pollen filter
Select the micro dust and pollen filter
button.
Outside air mode switches to recirculated
air mode. Pollen is removed from the air
flows to the upper part of the body.
Usually the system will turn off automati-
cally after approximately 3 minutes.
To stop the operation, select the micro dust
and pollen filter button again.

erates automatically.

(i) Outside temperature display
Outside temperature is displayed on
the screen.

side temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to
change.
DWhen stopped, or driving at low

t
∗
Select the Plasmacluster tbutton on
the display.
The indicator light is on when the Plasma-
cluster tis operating.
This air conditioning system adopts plas-
macluster technology, which helps to keep
good air quality in the cabin by emitting
positive and negative ions through the
driver ’s side vent.
A slight noise may be heard during opera-
tion. This is not a malfunction. Also, static
electricity may be discharged near the
driver ’s side vent due to the high voltage
used to operate the system.

CAUTION
Do not disassemble or repair the sys-
tem because it contains high voltage
parts. Call your Lexus dealer if the
system needs repair.
NOTICE
DDo not leave the air conditioning
system on longer than necessary
when the hybrid system is not op-
erating.
DDo not insert anything into the
driver’s side vent, attach anything
to it, or use sprays around the driv-
er’s side vent. These things may
cause the system not to work prop-
erly.
