Interior features
■Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirc ulated air mode but-
ton to outside air mode if the recirculated
air mode is used. (It may switch automati-
cally.)
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.
When the windshield defogger switch is
on, the indicator illumi nates on the wind-
shield defogger switch.
■Defogging the rear window and
outside rear view mirrors
Defoggers are used to defog the rear
window, and to remove raindrops, dew
and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will auto matically turn off
after a period of time.
When the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch is on, the
indicator illuminates on the rear window
and outside rear view mirror defoggers
switch.
■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 IGNITION ON mode.
●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. Turning A/C
switch (“A/C”) on will dehumidify the air
from the outlets and defog the windshield
effectively.
●If you turn A/C swit ch (“A/C”) off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recircu-
lated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the
vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake mode be set to outside air
mode and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode tem-
porarily is recommended in preventing
dirty air from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle when the
outside air temperature is high.
●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 (vehicles with driving
position memory)
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic
key and turning the engine 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 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 electronic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart access system with
push-button start is used to unlock a pas-

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.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system
on longer than ne cessary when the
engine is off.
■When repairing/replacing parts of
the air conditioning system
Have repair/replace ment performed by
your Lexus dealer.
When a part of the air conditioning sys-
tem, such as the ev aporator, is to be
replaced, it must be replaced with a new
one.

■Before programming HomeLink®
During programming, it is possible
that garage doors, gates, or other
devices may operate. For this rea-
son, make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or other devices to prevent injury or
other potential harm.
It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.
Garage door opener motors manu-
factured after 1995 may be
equipped with rolling code protec-
tion. If this is the case, you may need
a stepladder or other sturdy, safe
device to reach the “Learn” or
“Smart” button on the garage door
opener motor.
■Programming HomeLink®
Steps 1 through 3 must be performed
within 60 seconds, otherwise the indi-
cator light will stop flashing and pro-
gramming will not be able to be
completed.
1 Press and release the HomeLink
®
button you want to program and
check that the HomeLink
® indica-
tor light flashes (orange).
2 Point the remote control transmit-
ter for the device at the rear view
mirror, 1 to 3 in. (25 to 75 mm)
from the HomeLink
® buttons.
Keep the HomeLink® indicator light in
view while programming.
3 Program a device.

an entry gate (for U.S.A. owners)

WARNING
■Conforming to federal safety stan-
dards
Do not use the HomeLink
® compatible
transceiver with any garage door opener
or device that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards.
This includes any ga rage door that can-
not detect an interfering object. A door
or device without these features
increases the risk of death or serious
injury.
■When operating or programming
HomeLink®
Never allow a child to operate or play
with the HomeLink® buttons.
