Interior features ■
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning syst em is controlled as follows to prioritize
fuel efficiency: ●
Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity●
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performanc e, perform the following operations:●
Adjust the fan speed●
Turn off Eco drive mode■
Customization
The air conditioning control of Eco drive mode can be changed to the same setting
as that used in normal drive mode.
(Customizable features  P. 825)■
Air conditioning system settings ●
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 repr oduced 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 accord ing to the temperature setting and ambi-
ent conditions. As a result, the following may occur:
Immediately after the button is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm or
cool air is ready to flow.■
Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if recirculated air mode is used for an extended
period.
■
Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched in accor-
dance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.

Maintenance and care Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programsSome states have vehicle emission inspection programs which include
OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system monitors the oper-
ation of the emission control system.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
The OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere in
the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pa ss the I/M test
and may need to be repaired. Cont act your Lexus dealer to service
the vehicle.
■ Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test in the following situations:
● When the 12-volt battery is disconnected or discharged
Readiness codes that are set during ordinary driving are erased.
Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes may
not be completely set.
● When the fuel tank cap is loose
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on indicating a temporary
malfunction and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
■ When the malfunction indicator la mp still remains on after several
driving trips
The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the
vehicle is driven 40 or more times.
■ If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test
Contact your Lexus dealer to prep are the vehicle for re-testing.

Maintenance and care ■
Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following: ●
Reduced fuel efficiency●
Reduced driving comfort and tire life●
Reduced safety●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Lexus dealer.■
Instructions for checking tire pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure
reading.●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be mislea ding. In addition, tire inflation pressure
that is even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.●
Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving.●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.

7385-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following: ●
Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.●
Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The lamp will go off after several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Lexus dealer as soon
as possible.■
SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airb ag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors,
side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield and rear side airbag sensors,
door sensors, driver's seat position sensor, driver's seat belt buckle switch, front
passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors), “AIR BAG ON” indi-
cator light, “AIR BAG OFF” in dicator light, front pass enger's seat belt buckle
switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and
power sources. (  P. 1 3 2 )■
Front passenger detection sensor, passen ger seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer ●
If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detection
sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound
even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.●
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger, and the
warning light may not operate properly.■
Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on and the warn-
ing buzzer may sound.
■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing the tire
pressure warning reset switch will not turn off the tire pressure warning light.
