Interior features
Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys (vehicles with a smart
entry & start system)
Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the power switch to
ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
When the power switch is turned off, the current air conditioning settings will
automatically be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the
vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart entry & start system is used to unlock a passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the
ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after the “AUTO” button is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Press-
ing “A/C” button or selecting “A/C” will dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effectively.
If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
Windshield fog detection function (if equipped)
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor (P. 451) detects fog on the
windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set
to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
