Driving
■When HI mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to N mode when driving at the speeds of 18 mph (30 km/h).
Even if vehicle speed is then reduced to under 18 mph (30 km/h), height will not return to
HI mode.
■When LO mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to N mode when vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph (12 km/h).
Even if vehicle speed is then reduced to under 7 mph (12 km/h), height will not return to
LO mod e .
■Automatic leveling function
Regardless of the number of occupants and the luggage load, vehicle height in any mode
is always adjusted to a fixed height by the automatic leveling function.
■The rear height control air suspension will not operate in the following cases:
●The underbody of the vehicle is touching the surface of the road.
●The area around the suspension is covered with ice.
■Even if you hear an operating noise
This does not indicate a problem in the rear height control air suspension.
■Parking and stopping tips
●If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, or park the vehicle for a long
time, the vehicle height may gradually lower. When parking, make sure there is nothing
under the vehicle that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehicle will return
to the set height when the engine is started.
●The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the engine is
stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
■When lowering the vehicle
In order to prevent the vehicle height from rising as occupants leave the vehicle, lowering
control will occur for a short while after the engine has been stopped.
■The rear height control air suspension failure warning
●If a malfunction occurs in the rear height control air suspension, N mode is automati-
cally selected. However, the system may no t switch to N mode depending on the loca-
tion of the malfunction.
●The warning message is displayed on the mult i-information display, and the rear height
control air suspension cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If the warning message turns off, the system is operat-
ing correctly. If the warning message continues to be displayed, have your vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

●When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/
wires for transportation via flat bed truck, turn off the rear height control air suspen-
sion and stop the engine.
●When the vehicle must be towed or disconnecting a trailer, put the vehicle height in N
mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension.
●When the vehicle is stuck, turn off the rear height control air suspension.
■Selecting the correct height mode
●HI mode should only be used when drivin g on rough roads, for example when driving
off-road.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity w ill become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Do not select HI mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier.

The vehicle height will rise when a higher mo de is selected or cargo is unloaded. This
may cause damage to the vehicle.

damaged.
■Changing vehicle height
Do not change vehicle height frequently.
The compressor may overheat and stop operation.

Interior features
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the engine switch to
IGNITION 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 th an one electronic key is in the vicinity or
if the smart access system with push-button start is used to unlock a passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact your Lexus dealer.
■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.
■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 outsid e air mode at any time by pressing or
.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Touching “A/C”
on will dehumidify the air from the outlet s and defog the windshield 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.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
lated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from entering the vehicle interi or. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature.
■Automatic mode for air intake control (veh icles with rear air conditioning system)
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and automati-
cally switches between outside air and recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off, and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification function.
