Interior features
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch to IGNITION ON mode will recall that key’s
registered air conditioning settings.
●When the “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> is turned off, the current air con-
ditioning settings will automatically be re gistered 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 access system with push-button start is used to unlock a passenger
door.
■Air conditioning system settings
●When the “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is turned on, the air condi-
tioning system settings will be set to thos e that were in use the last time the “START
STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch was turned off.
●Air conditioning system settings are me morized 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.
■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 immedi-
ately after is pressed.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn 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 se t, the humidity sensor (P. 358) 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 tunn els or in heavy traffic, set the outside/
recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in pre-
venting outside air from entering the vehicl e interior. During cooling operation, set-
ting 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.

6-2. Maintenance
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Lexus parts be used for repairs to ensure perfor-
mance of each system. If non-Lexus parts are used in replacement or if a repair shop
other than a Lexus dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty coverage.
■Reset the maintenance data (U.S.A. only)
After the required maintenance is performed according to the maintenance sched-
ule, please reset the maintenance data.
To reset the data, follow th e procedure described below:
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” ( P. 94) when the engine
is running .
Turn the “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch off.
While pressing the “ODO TRIP” button ( P. 94), turn the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch to the IGNITION ON mode (do not start
the engine because otherwise the reset mode will be canceled).
■Allow inspection and repairs to be performed by a Lexus dealer
●Lexus technicians are well-trained specialist s and are kept up to date with the latest
service information. They are well informed about the operations of all systems on
your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise while your vehicle
is under warranty, your Lexus dealer will promptly take care of it. The message shown in the illustration will
appear on the display.
Continue to press and hold the button until
the trip meter displays “000000”.

The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart access system with push-button start may not

battery is reconnected, the vehicle will return the “START STOP ENGINE” switch
mode to the status it was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure
to turn off the engine before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when
connecting the 12-volt battery if the “START STOP ENGINE” switch mode prior to
discharge is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after mu ltiple attempts, contact your Lexus dealer.
