Defogging and defrosting
−The inside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:
For automatic operation —
Temperature — Towards high
temperature to heat;
low temperature to
cool
Air intake — OUTSIDE AIR
Air flow — WINDSHIELD
For manual operation —
Fan speed — To the desired fan speed
Temperature — Towards high
temperature to heat;
low temperature to
cool
Air intake — OUTSIDE AIR
Air flow — WINDSHIELD
When the windshield air flow button is
pushed, air flows mainly from the wind-
shield vents and turns on the defogging
function with the purpose of clearing the
front view.
Pushing this button once again returns the
air flow mode to the last one used.
This button allows the air intake to select
OUTSIDE AIR mode automatically. This is
to clean up the front view more quickly. If
you want to return the setting to RECIR-
CULATED AIR mode, push the air intake
control button once again.
Touch “A/C” for dehumidified heating or
cooling. This setting clears the front view
more quickly.
DOn humid days, do not blow cold air on
the windshield −the difference be-
tween the outside and inside tempera-
tures could make the fogging worse. −

If air flow control is not satisfactory,
check the center vents, side vents and
rear vents. They may be opened or
closed as shown.
When outside temperature is cold like a
winter season, air flow temperature from
the center vents, side vents and rear vents
may not be warmed up enough for a while
until that the engine coolant temperature
becomes high enough.
If air flow from the center vents, side vents
and rear vents is not satisfactory, air flow
direction can be changed manually by ad-
justing the vents fin direction or the vents
may be closed.

(h) Checking and replacing the air
conditioning filter
The air conditioning filter information
label is placed in the glove box as
shown and indicates that a filter has
been installed.
The air conditioning filter, in addition to re-
moving odors, prevents dust and pollen
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.
The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reduc-
tions in operating efficiency, or if the win-
dows become to fog up easily.
If the symptoms of air conditioning efficien-
cy problems occur, contact your nearest
Lexus dealer to have the filter checked and
replaced.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
replace the air conditioning filter according
to the maintenance schedule. In dusty
areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such
as inner city or desert areas, early replace-
ment may be required. (For scheduled
maintenance information, please refer to
the “Owner’s Manual Supplement/Sched-
uled Maintenance”.)

(See “ — Rear view monitor dis-
play” on page 287.)
When an obstacle is detected, the indi-
cator bars will come on or flash, accom-
panied by beeping. How many bars are
lit or flashing depends on the distance
to the obstacle.
When the obstacle is not detected any lon-
ger, beeps will stop sounding and the mul-
ti− information display and the screen will
return to the previous display.
The volume of the beeps and the display
on the screen can be changed. See “ —

on page 289.

sors
2Detection by rear corner sensors
3Detection by back sensors
The approximate distance to the obstacle
is shown with up to 4 bars on the rear of the
vehicle and up to 3 bars on the front cor-
ners and the rear corners of the vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid an accident or injury, ob-
serve the following instructions, and
then drive slowly using the brakes
while visually confirming a safe dis-
tance around your vehicle.
DThe sensor detection range is limit-
ed around the bumper. Be sure to
visually confirm safety outside the
sensor detection. For the sensor
detection range, see “ — Detection
range of sensors” on page 284.
DIt might take time for the sensors to
detect obstacles.
DDepending on the shape of the ob-
stacle, indicators or beeps may not
warn you properly, and the detec-
tion range may also be shortened.
DIt might be difficult to hear beeps
due to the volume of audio or air
flow noise of the air conditioning.

When obstacles are detected on the
front and rear of the vehicle at the same
time; the multi−information display and
screen illuminate their relevant indica-
tor bars. And beeps are as follows:
1Obstacles detected on the front
and rear of the vehicle are not in
areas where continuous beeping
should sound:
The warning for the obstacle closer to the
vehicle will be issued. The above illustra-
tion indicates the obstacle detected by the
back sensors is closer to the vehicle. So,
the warning for the obstacle detected by
the back sensors will be given.
2The obstacle detected on the front
or rear of the vehicle is in an area
where continuous beeping should
sound:
If the possibility of collision with the ob-
stacle is high as shown, the parking as-
sist− sensor warns the driver by continu-
ous beeping (repeating 7 intermittent
beeps and one longer beep as one cycle).
3Both obstacles detected on the
front and rear of the vehicle are in
areas where continuous beeping
should sound:
If the possibility of collision with the ob-
stacles is very high as shown, the parking
assist− sensor warns the driver by continu-
ous beeping (repeating 3 quick beeps and
one longer beep as one cycle).
CAUTION
It might be difficult to hear beeps due
to the volume of audio or air flow
noise of the air conditioning. To
avoid an accident or injury, drive
slowly using the brakes while visual-
ly confirming a safe distance around
your vehicle.
