When the “POWER” switch is turned on, the air conditioning system 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.
●This feature is customizable at your Lexus dealer.

ent conditions. As a result, the following may occur:
●The system may switch automatically to recirculated air mode when the coolest

●Immediately after the button is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm
or cool air is ready to flow.
