●
ically be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

if the smart access system with push-button start is used to unlock a passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.
Contact your Lexus dealer.

after the "AUTO" button is pressed.
When the outside temperature exceeds 75F (24C) and the air conditioning system
■

In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system
●

Fogging up of the windows

■
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Touching "A/C"
●
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield 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.
●

Outside/recirculated air mode

■
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
●
lated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side 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 automatically switch depending on the tempera-
●
ture setting or the inside temperature.
