automatic mode  (outside air
mode)  (recirculated air mode)
 automatic mode
When the system is switched to automatic
mode, the air conditioning system operates

■Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode
switch to outside air mode if the recircu-
lated air mode is used. (It may switch auto-
matically.)
To defog the windshield and the side win-
dows early, turn the air flow and tempera-
ture up.
To return to the previous mode, press the
windshield defogger switch again when the
windshield is defogged.

and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.

■Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity 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 recircu-lated air mode is used.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tun-nels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode switch to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the
vehicle interior. During cooling opera- tion, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-matically switch depending on the tem-

perature setting or the inside temperature.
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the engine switch switch> to IGNITION ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
●When the engine switch is turned off, the current air conditioning
settings will automatically 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 the passenger door.
●The doors that can recall the air condi-
tioning setting* when unlocked using the
smart entry & start system can be changed. For details, contact any autho-rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.*: The doors that can recall the driving posi-
tion memory are changed at the same
time.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys- tem in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys- tem 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 performance, perform the following operations:
●Adjust the fan speed
●Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.242)
■When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is selected.
■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 accumulate in the air conditioning sys-tem. This may then cause odor to be
emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring: • It is recommended that the air condition-ing system be set to outside air mode
prior to turning the vehicle off. • The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time imme-
diately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system automatically switches to fresh air intake mode to encourage better air circulation through-
out the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting the vehicle.
■Air conditioning filter
 P.347
■Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C auto switch operation) can be changed.(Customizable features P.423)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fog- ging up
Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference
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.
■When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mir- ror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
