When the °A/C ON± in the multi-information display (accessory meter) flashes

Press

the “A/C” button and turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and

turn it on again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indica-

tor light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected

by your Lexus dealer.

■

Air conditioning odors

●

During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into

and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be

emitted from the vents.

●

To reduce potential odors from occurring:

°

It is recommended that the air conditioning 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 period of time

immediately after the air conditioning system is started in AUTO mode.

■

Customization

Settings (e.g. enable/disable automatic operation of the air conditioning compres-

sor when the “AUTO” switch ON) can be changed.

CAUTION

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The dif-

ference 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.

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine

is stopped.
