■ 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 IGNI-
TION ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
● When the engine switch is turned off, the current air conditioning settings will automat-
ically 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 passenger door.
● The doors that can recall the air conditioning setting when unlocked using the smart
access system with push-button start can be changed.
* For details, contact your Lexus
dealer.
*: The doors that can recall the driving position memory are changed at the same time.
■ Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after the “AUTO” button is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
■ 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 .
■ 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 wind-
shield effectively.
● If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Windshield fog detection function (vehicles with a humidity sensor)
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor (→P. 447) detects fog on the wind-
shield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.
