NX200t_OM_USA_OM78081U
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Pressing “A/C”
button or selecting “A/C” will dehumidify th e air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield 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.
■Windshield fog detection function (vehicles with a humidity sensor)
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor ( P. 429) detects fog on the wind-
shield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set to
the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the
vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also
cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automa tically switch depending on the tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operat e even when “A/C” is pressed or “A/C” is
selected.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sy stem is controlled as follows to prioritize
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 performa nce, perform the following operations
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditio ning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be dela yed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
■Air conditioning filter

■Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C automatic mode switch operation) can be changed.

■While charging, noise enters the AM radio
Turn off the wireless charger and confirm that the noise has decreased. If the noise
decreases, continuously pushing the power supply switch of the wireless charger for 2
seconds, the frequency of the charger can be changed and the noise can be reduced.
Also, on that occasion, the operation indicator light will flash orange 2 times.
■Important points of the wireless charger
●If the electronic key cannot be detected within the vehicle interior, charging cannot be
done. When the door is opened and closed , charging may be temporarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless charging device and portable device will get warmer,
however this is not a malfunction.
When a portable device gets warm while charging, charging may stop due to the pro-
tection function on the portable device side . In this case, when the temperature of the
portable device drops significantly, charge again.
■Operation sounds
When the power supply is turned on, while se arching for the portable device a sound will
be produced, however this is not a malfunction.
■Certification for the wireless charger
FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 18 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference in a residential installation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modification s not expressly approved by the party

Maintenance and care
NX200t_OM_USA_OM78081U
■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels or wheelhousings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
• If wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, air- port or other facility th at generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off could be
extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has burst, the
warning may not function.
■The initialization operation
●Make sure to carry out initialization af ter adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carry ing out initialization or tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine swit ch off during initialization, it is not neces-
sary to press the reset switch again as init ialization will restart automatically when the
engine switch has been turned to IG NITION ON mode for the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary, adjust the
tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are co ld, and conduct initial-
ization again.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning syst em will change in accordance with the con-
ditions under which it was initialized. For this reason, the system may give a warning even
if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the
pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
■When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases, the set-
tings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure warning light
does not blink 3 times.
●After carrying out the initializ ation procedure, the tire pressure warning light blinks for
1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 minutes.

Firmly tighten each wheel nut two or
three times in the order shown in the
illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft·lbf (103 N·m, 10.5 kgf·m)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the
tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire. ( P. 5 9 6 )
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. ( P. 5 0 4 )
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped wi th a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare ti re will not be indicated by the tire pressure
warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warn-
ing light comes on, th e light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to when
driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (except for 225/60R18
tires)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the follow-
ing steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
