Turn off A/C?

Ok...I have NOT read the entire manual...
But why can't I figure out how to turn off the A / C?

The "AUTO" button looks to only control the blower speed.
Going into the "CLIMATE" mode...i see the "A/C" option engaged (the light is on)
But pressing it to toggle off ...does nothing.
So...the A / C is always on...even with the AUTO "OFF".

How to I vent the outside air into the car without the A/C?

Feeling kinda foolish here...

Thanks!

No need to feel foolish.

Just hit the climate button to bring up the climate screen. Notice the icon is lit in the AC button on the screen. Touch the AC button on the screen the the icon light will go out. You LX will do the best it can to reach your desired temp without using the AC.

Enjoy

Also, keep in mind that if you have engaged the power switch to the cooler, the air conditioning is automatically turned on and cannot be switched off. You cannot have the cooler turned on and the air conditioner turned off.

What did you think was making that cold air in your cooler?

Didn't connect the two. . Assumed PIC could override cold champagne for the sake of cockpit environment.

Dang.. Lexus should have independent systems.... I should be able to always have cold champagne! 😁

Ditto, Greg. It fits so nicely in the cooler. Xfea: It's only been pure luck that my questions about things have so far been to the service writer, who just sighs. The owner's manual is hardly a model of clarity.
