4-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 When the outside door handle is
frozen, unlock the doors using the
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted
and do not move even if the doors
are unlocked using the wireless
remote control, pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt the ice
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The
outside door handle may not retract
due to ice, however, the outside
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.
 To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on
the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s
roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the
bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
■To protect windshield wipers
 P.198
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the shift posi-
tion to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze
up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, make sure to block
the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to
an accident.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or re placement of snow
tires from any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
This is because the removal and attach- ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

5-3. Using the air conditioning system
Interior features
mode operation can be customized.
Each time is selected, the fan speed
setting mode changes as follows.
“NORMAL”  “ECO”  “FAST” 
“NORMAL”
■Pollen removal mode
Outside air mode switches to
(recirculated air) mode. Pollen is removed
from the air and the air flows to the upper
part of the body.
Usually the system will automatically turn
off after approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
In order to prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up when the outside air is cold, the
dehumidification function may operate or
the outside/recirculated air mode may not
switch to (recirculated air) mode.
Pollen is filtered even if the pollen removal
mode is turned off.
■nanoe™ system
This vehicle incorporates a biocidal prod-
uct.
Ionised air generated by a device incorpo-
rated in the vehicle purifies the air in the
cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substance: Free radicals generated
in situ from ambient air or water
nanoe™ helps to provide purified air by
emitting electrically charged water parti-
cles through the front center vent on the
driver’s side
*.
●When the fan is turned on and nanoe™
on the option control screen is selected,
the nanoe™ system is activated.
●When the fan is operated in the following
conditions, system performance will be
maximized. If the following conditions are
not met, performance will be limited.
• The , or air outlets are being used.
• The front center vent on driver’s side is open.
●When nanoe™ is generated, a small
amount of ozone is emitted and may be
faintly smelled in some situations. How-
ever, this is approximately the same as the
amount that already exists in nature, such
as in forests, and it has no affect on the
human body.
●A slight noise may be heard during oper-
ation. This is not a malfunction.
*: According to temperature and humidity
conditions, fan speed and direction of the
air flow, the nanoe™ system may not
operate at full capacity.
1 Press the automatic mode switch or
select “AUTO” on the sub function
menu. ( P.283)
WARNING
■To prevent burns (vehicles with wind-
shield wiper de-icer)
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.
■nanoe™ generator
Do not disassemble or repair the genera-
tor because it contains high voltage
parts. Contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer if the generator
needs repair.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the nanoe™
Do not insert anything into the driver’s
side vent, attach anything to it, or use
sprays around the driver’s side vent.
These things may cause the generator
not to work properly.

5-3. Using the air conditioning system
2Press the outside/recirculated air
mode switch to switch to automatic
air intake mode.
The air conditioning system automatically
switches between outside air and recircu-
lated air modes.
3Adjust the temperature setting.
4 To stop the operation, press the off
switch or select “Off” on the sub
function menu. ( P.283)
If the fan speed setting or air flow
modes are operated, the automatic
mode indicator goes off. However,

■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically accord-
ing 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 the automatic mode switch is
pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Cool air may blow around the upper body
even when the heater is on due to sunlight.
■Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity
sensor detects fog on the windshield and
controls the air conditioning system to pre-
vent fog.
■Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and
recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,
and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification
function.
To turn on the “DUAL” mode, perform
any of the following procedures:
 Select “DUAL” on the sub function
menu. ( P.283)
 Select “DUAL” on the option con-
trol screen.
 Adjust the passenger’s side tem-
perature setting.
The indicator on the main control screen
comes on when the “DUAL” mode is on.
NOTICE
■Humidity sensor
In order to detect fog on the windshield,
a sensor which monitors the temperature
of the windshield, the surround humidity,
etc. is installed.
Follow these points to avoid damaging
the sensor:
●Do not disassemble the sensor
●Do not spray the glass cleaner on the
sensor or subject it to strong impacts
●Do not stick anything on the sensor
