4044-6. Driving tips
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on only when both heating and dehumidifying
are needed, and if only heating is needed, turn the A/C switch off. Turning the
A/C switch on when unnecessary leads to excessive fuel consumption.
◆Performing idling stops
●Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption, even it is only for a short period of time.
●Except in severe environment, such as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the engine before driving is unnecessary.
Rather than idling, it is more efficien t to drive the vehicle gently to warm up
each part while avoiding increasing the engine revolutions unnecessarily
and accelerating or decelerating suddenly.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
◆Regular maintenance
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy. Also, as snow tires can
cause large amounts of friction, their us e on dry roads can lead to poor fuel
economy. Use tires that are appropri ate for the season and road condi-
tions.
●Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel consump-
tion and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid periodically.

■When using the Remote Touch
●Do not allow fingers, fingernails or hair to become caught in the Remote Touch as
this may cause an injury.
●Be careful when touching the Remote Touch in extreme temperatures as it may
become very hot or cold due to the temperature inside the vehicle.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the Remote Touch
●Do not allow the Remote Touch to come into contact with food, liquid, stickers or
lit cigarettes as doing so may cause it to change color, emit a strange odor or stop
functioning.
●Do not subject the Remote Touch to excess ive pressure or strong impact as the
knob may bend or break off.
●Do not allow coins, contact lenses or ot her such items to become caught in the

4345-3. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to priori-
tize fuel efficiency
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
■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:
●Immediately after the “AUTO” 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.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“A/C” on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●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/
recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in pre-
venting outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, set-
ting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
