■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 regist ered air conditioning settings.
●When the power switch is turned off, the cu rrent air conditioning settings will automati-
cally 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 repa irer, or another duly qualified and equipped

Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until wa rm 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. Pressing “A/C”
button or selecting “A/C” will dehumidify th e air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield 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. 416) detects fog on the wind-
shield 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 outside 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 tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature.
