Each time you push the air intake control button, the
mode changes in order from the RECIRCULATED AIR
mode to AUTOMATIC mode to OUTSIDE AIR mode,
then back to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode. Each
indicator light shows which mode is now selected.
1RECIRCULATED mode ± If quick circulation of
cooled air is desired, select this mode.
2EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode ± If the
outside air contains harmful substances like
exhaust gas (i.e., when the vehicle running just in
front of your vehicle accelerates rapidly), the
system changes automatically from the OUTSIDE
AIR mode (with indicators
2 and 3 on) to the
RECIRCULATED mode (with indicators 1 and 2 on).
3 OUTSIDE AIR mode ± The system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle. Turning off the air conditioning manually will cancel the
EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode. If you select the
ªAUTOº mode during fan operating, the air conditioning
turns on and the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode
will operate.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control
button set to OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is
used
during heating, the windows will fog up more easily.
To change the sensitivity of the sensor switching
between the RECIRCULATED and OUTSIDE AIR in
the AUTOMATIC mode, push the air intake control
button until you hear a beep. The display changes
as illustrated below.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted only while
the vehicle has stopped.

When you push either side of the ºTEMPº button several
times, the sensitivity changes from º+3º down to º±3º. If
you do not operate any button for a few seconds, the
previous display returns.
If manual on±off of the air conditioning is desired ±
Push the ºA/Cº button to turn the air conditioning on and
push it again to turn the air conditioning off. If you turn
off the air conditioning manually, the EXHAUST GAS
AUTOMATIC mode will be cancelled.
If the outside temperature is lowered down to around
0 C ( 3 2 F), the air conditioning will turn off
automatically. At this time, the indicator on the A/C
button is off and the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC
indicator light remains on. However, the EXHAUST
GAS AUTOMATIC mode does not operate. When the
air conditioning turns on as with the raised temperature,
the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode resumes. If the system is used for ventilation, heating in dry
weather or removing frost or exterior fog on the
windshield, turn the air conditioning off once it is no
longer
required. This will improve fuel economy. The air
conditioning can be used for year±round automatic
temperature control including cooling and dehumidifying
operation.
If the air conditioning compressor does not operate, the
indicator of the ºA/Cº button will blink. If the indicator of
the ºA/Cº button blinks even when the ºA/Cº button is
pushed again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest Lexus dealer.

In the ºTAPEº or ºCDº mode, the applicable
functions
are shown in the lowest part of the display.
Push the switch just below to turn on each function.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid±range, and
bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with different mixes of
treble, mid±range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and
of the front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo
recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance
will increase the volume of one group of sounds while
decreasing the volume of another.
