2645-3. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■When the outside temperature exceeds
75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air
mode automatically.
This may also reduce fuel consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default mode when the engine switch is
turned to ON.
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode
at any time by pressing the outside/recir-
culated air mode switch.
■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 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 de pending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
■Registering air condit ioning settings to
electronic keys (vehicles with driving
position memory)
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic
key and turning the engine switch to ON
will recall that key’s registered air condi-
tioning settings.
●When the engine switch is turned off, the
current air conditioning settings will auto-
matically be registered to the electronic
key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
●The system may not operate correctly if
more than one electr onic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart access system with
push-button start is used to unlock a pas-
senger door.
●The doors that can recall the air condi-
tioning setting when unlocked using the
smart access system with push-button
start can be changed.
* For details, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
*: 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
system is controlled as follows to priori-
tize 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
• Turn off eco air conditioning mode ( P.267)
• Adjust the fan speed
•Turn off Eco drive mode
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is pressed or
“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 pe riod of time imme-
