■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys (vehicles with driving position
memory)
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the power switch to ON mode will recall that ke y’s registered air conditioning settings.
●When the power switch is turned off, the current 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.
●The doors that can recall the air conditioning setting when unlocked using the smart entry & start system can be changed.* For details, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized re pairer, or any reliable repairer.
*: The doors that can recall the driving position memory are changed at the same time.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically accordin g to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until wa rm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
■Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the hu midity in the vehicle is high. Turning
(“A/C”) on 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.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
lated air mode button to the recirculated ai r mode. This is effective in preventing out- side air from entering the vehicle interi or. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automa tically switch depending on the tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature.
■Operation of the air conditioni ng system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel
efficiency:
●Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling capac-
ity
●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

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior
to turning the vehicle off. • The start timing of the blower may be dela yed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

■Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C Auto switch operation) can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 663)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
●Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ- ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
■To prevent burns
●Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defog-
gers are on.
●Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars
when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-vol t battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioni ng system on longer than necessary when the hybrid sys- tem is off.
●Do not place anything on the instrumentpanel which may cover th e air outlets. Other-
wise, air flow may be obstructed, preventing
the windshield defoggers from defogging.

■The interior lights and personal lights can be operated when
The interior lights and person al lights can be used regardless of the power switch mode.
However, when the power switch is turned off, they can be used only when the 12-volt battery protection function is not operating.
■12-volt battery protection function
To prevent the 12-volt battery from being discharged, approximately 20 minutes after the power switch is turned off, the power supp lied to the interior lights, personal lights,
and other lights will be cut off au tomatically. (If the interior lights, etc. are left on when the
power switch is turned off, they will be turned off automatically.)
To turn the interior lights, etc. back on , turn the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON
mode or operate the interior light swit ch until the interior lights turn on.
If any of the lights are illumina ted automatically due to the illuminated entry system, the 12-volt battery protection function will be canceled.
■Illuminated entry system
The lights automatically turn on/off according to power switch mode, the presence of the electronic key, whether the doors are locked/unlocked, and whether the doors are
opened/closed.
■Customization
Setting (e.g. the time elapsed before lights turn off) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 657)
