STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
233
INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror. Pushing the “MIRROR” switch changes the mode
between AUTO and DAY.
The indicator comes on when the AUTO mode is selected.
DAY mode: The mirror surface is normal.
AUTO mode: If the mirror detects light from the headlights
of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens
slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When
the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the AUTO mode.
When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little
longer for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of
headlights.

(a) Climate control
SETTING OPERATION — automatic control
1. Push the “AUTO” button.
An indicator light will illuminate to show that the automatic
operation mode has been selected.
Air flow quantity, switching of the diffusers, on−off of the air
conditioning and switching of the air intake between
RECIRCULATED AIR and OUTSIDE AIR are automatically
adjusted. When you press the “AUTO” button with the air
intake mode at OUTSIDE AIR, internal circulation may be
applied for maximum cooling. The operation status is shown
by each indicator. When one of the manual control buttons is depressed while
operating in automatic mode, the operation corresponding to
the depressed button is set. Other conditions continue to be
adjusted automatically.
Push the “OFF” button to turn the air conditioning system off.

AIR CONDITIONING
248“DUAL” button —
This switch is used to set the temperatures independently for
the driver’s seat and front passenger seat.
Pushing the button changes the mode from independent and
linked.

Independent mode: Temperatures can be set
independently for the driver’s seat and front passenger’s
seat. The indicator light will illuminate to show that the
independent mode has been selected. The indicator light
will come on to show that the independent mode has been
selected.
 Linked mode: The same temperature is set for the driver’s
seat and front passenger’s seat. The indicator light will turn
off to show that the simultaneous temperature setting mode
has been selected.
When the temperature for the front passenger’s seat is
changed in linked mode, the mode is changed automatically to
independent mode.
INFORMATION
Knowledge for the twotemperature selector operation
This air conditioning system has two independent
temperature selectors: left and right (for the use of
driver and front passenger respectively).
 There are cases where the temperature of the airflow
may not accurately correlate on the driver and front
passenger side according to circumstances, even if
the left and right temperature selectors are set at the
same temperature. If this situation occurs, use the
fine tune operation to adjust the air temperature on
one side.
 There are cases where one or both of the airflow
temperatures may not accurately correlate with the
set temperature according to circumstances, when
the airflow temperature settings on the left and right
are substantially different. For example, if the left
controller is set at central or neutral temperature
while the right one is set at maximum heating or
maximum cooling, or vice versa. If this situation
occurs, use the fine tune operation to adjust the air
temperature on each side.

Driver side setting air flow
Passenger side setting air flow
Mixed air flowSETTING OPERATION — manual control
When one of the manual control buttons is depressed
while operating in automatic mode, the operation
corresponding to the depressed button is set. Other
conditions continue to be adjusted automatically.
If manual air flow selection is desired —
The outlets from which air is delivered can be selected
manually by
pushing the button. The function of each mode is
as follows:
1Panel — Air flows mainly from the instrument panel vents
and rear vents.
2Bilevel — Air flows from both the floor vents, instrument
panel vents and rear vents.
When you set the temperature selector setting at about
the middle in automatic operation, warm air flows out of
the floor vents and relatively low−temperature air flows
out of the instrument panel vents and rear vents.

AUDIO
268Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL):
When the audio sound
becomes dif ficult to be heard due to road noise, wind noise, etc.
during driving, the system adjusts to the optimum volume and
tone quality according to the noise level. While the Automatic
Sound Levelizer is on, “ASL” appears on the display.
Push the “AUDIO CONTROL” knob until the desired mode.
Turn the knob to suit your preference.
(c) Your radio antennas
Detachable antenna: To remove a detachable antenna,
carefully turn it counterclockwise.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
removed before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
Wire antenna: The wire antenna is mounted inside the back
door window.
NOTICE
 When cleaning the inside of the back door window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the wire antennas or
connectors.
 Putting a window tint (especially, conductive or
metallic type) on the back door window may af fect the
reception of radio or mobile telephone. For the
installation of the window tint, consult with your
Lexus dealer.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to
the right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the cassette
player. Do not insert anything other than cassette tapes
into the slot.

AUDIO
374FM
Fading
and drifting stations — Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multipath — FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping — If the FM signal you are listening to is
interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked up again. AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere
− especially at night. These reflected signals can
interfere with those received directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, l ightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
 A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)

AUDIO
375
Use high−
quality cassettes.
 Low−quality cassette tapes can cause many problems,
including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto−reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled
in the cassette player.
 Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
 Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening
to it, especially if it is hot outside.
 Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
 Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than
100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these
cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the
cassette player. Caring for your CD player, DVD player and CDs

Extremely high temperatures can keep your CD player and
DVD player from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you use the
players.
 Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your CD player
and DVD player skip.
 If moisture gets into your CD player and DVD player, the
players may not play even though they appear to be
working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it
dries.
