2020 Lexus ES300h sensor

2705-3. Using the air conditioning system
■Eco air conditioning mode
When Eco drive mode is selected using the
Driving Mode Select switch, eco air condi-
tioning mode turns on.
When a drive mode other than Eco drive
mode is selected, eco air conditioning
mode may turn off.
1Press the automatic mode switch or
select “AUTO” on the sub function
menu. ( P.268)
2
Press 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.268)
If the fan speed setting or air flow
modes are operated , the automatic
mode indicator goes off. However,
automatic mode for functions other
than that operated is maintained.
■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 condit ioning 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. The next time the dehumidification
function is turned off, the AUTO mode for
switching between outside air and recircu-
lated air modes is canceled.
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 wind shield wiper de-icer
is on.
Using automatic mode
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

Maintenance and care
■Front side windows water-repellent
coating
●The following precautions can extend the
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side
windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate on the windows for a long period.
Clean the windows with a soft, damp
cloth as soon as possible.
• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that
contain abrasives when cleaning the win-
dows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
●When the water-repellent performance
has become insufficie nt, the coating can
be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as
follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral
detergent and water to clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet
wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the
engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components etc. to
catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate unexpectedly in the fol-
lowing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries
and cause damage to the wiper blades.
Off
AUTO
●When the upper part of the windshield
where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held close
to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the wind-
shield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sen-
sor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the exhaust
pipes
As exhaust gases cause the exhaust
pipes to become quite hot, do not touch
the exhaust pipes while the hybrid system
is operating or immediately after the
hybrid system is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the exhaust pipes until they have
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes can cause burns.
