REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH

Vehicles with navigation system

Vehicles without navigation system
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push the
switch.
The ignition key must be in the ONº position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window will
quickly clear the surface. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop-and-go
driving. The defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to
melt snow.

SWITCHES
41
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or
connectors.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn
the switch off when the engine is not running.

SWITCHES
42
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
DEFOGGER SWITCH
To turn the electric outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the ONº position.
The thin heater wires on the heater panels in the outside rear
view mirrors will quickly clear the surface. Keep your hands off
the mirror faces when the switch is on. An indicator light will
illuminate to indicate the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 5 minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch them
when the switch is on.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop-and-go
driving. The defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to
melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use
a spray de-icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn the
switch off when the engine is not running.

SWITCHES

SEAT HEATER SWITCHES
The seat heater has two dials; one marked Lº (for the
driver's seat) and the other marked Rº (for the front
passenger's seat). To turn the seat heaters on, turn the
dials forward. The indicator lights come on. To turn them
off, turn the dials backward until they stop. The indicator
lights go off.
You can adjust the heating temperature to 5 stages. To
increase the temperature, turn them forward. To decrease the
temperature, turn them backward.
The ignition key must be in the ONº position to operate seat
heaters.
CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when operating the seat
heater because they may experience minor burns even
at low temperatures. Use extra caution for;
Babies, small children, elderly persons, sick persons
or handicapped persons
Persons who have delicate skin
Persons who are exhausted
Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs which
induce sleep (sleeping drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat from overheating, do not use the
seat heater with a blanket, cushion, or other insulating
objects which cover the seat.

SWITCHES
48
NOTICE
Do not put unevenly weighted objects on the seat and
do not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into
the seat.
When cleaning the seats, do not use organic
substances (paint thinner, benzine, alcohol,
gasoline, etc.). They may damage the heater and seat
surface.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn
the switches off when the engine is not running.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
204
Auto tilt away*
When the ignition key is removed, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for
easy exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering
column returns to the previously set position.
NOTE:
* This feature can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When you push the outside rear view mirror defogger switch,
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly
clear the mirror surface. (See Outside rear view mirror
defogger switchº on page 42.)
The rear view mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear the
driver's rear view when it rains. (For details, see Rain clearing
mirrorsº on page 588.)

AIR CONDITIONING
229
(e) 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 prevents dust 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 replaced if the air flow of the air conditioner and
heater experiences extreme reductions in operating efficiency,
or if the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and 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 replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please
refer to the Owner's Manual Supplement/Scheduled
Maintenanceº.)
