3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Using the automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature setting and
ambient conditions. As a result, the following may occur.
●The system may switch automatically to recirculated mode when the coolest
temperature setting is selected in summer.
●Immediately after the switch is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm
or cool air is ready to flow.
●Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is on.
■Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used for an
extended period.
■Window defogger feature
Recirculated air mode may automatically switch to
(outside air) mode in situ-
ations where the windows need to be defogged.
■Outside temperature approaches 32 °F (0 °C).
The air conditioning system may not operate even when is pressed.
■When the indicator light on flashes
Press
and turn off the air conditioning system before turning it on once more.
There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator light contin-
ues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
