Automatic Air Conditioning Controls If manual on-off of the air conditioning is desired - Touch the "A/C" switch to turn the air conditioning on and touch it again to turn the air conditioning off. The air conditioning does not work if the outside temperature is lowered down to around 0_C (32_F). If the system is used for ventilation, heating in dry weather or removing frost or exterior fog on the windshield, turn the air conditioning off once it is no longer required. This will improve fuel economy. The air conditioning can be used for year-round automatic temperature control including cooling and dehumidifying operation. If the air conditioning compressor does not operate, the indicator of the "A/C" button will blink. If the indicator of the "A/C" button blinks even when the "A/C" button is pushed again, have the compressor checked by your nearest Lexus dealer. (b) Windshield defogging and defrosting When the "FRONT WINDSHIELD" button is pushed while operating in automatic mode, the air conditioning is set to operate and the OUTSIDE AIR mode is set. If you push the "FRONT WINDSHIELD" button once again while in the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode, the mode then returns to the last mode used. EMV7010U CAUTION Do not use the "FRONT WINDSHIELD" button during cooled air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield could cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up blocking your vision. When you turn the ignition switch on after the removal and installation of the battery terminal, the indicator light may flash and the operating sound of the motor may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction. To remove interior fog on the windshield - Push the"FRONT WINDSHIELD" button. To remove frost or exterior fog on the windshield - 1. Push the upper side of the temperature control button until "MAX. HOT" or maximum figure appears on the temperature display. 2. Push the "FRONT WINDSHIELD" button. 3. Push the "HI" of the air flow control switch to obtain a maximum air flow. 4. Leave the air conditioning on-off button off. 85
