Cool, Calm, Comfortable

Three staples of a luxury driving experience. Climate control is an essential part of the Lexus scheduled maintenance plan. Maintaining your Lexus’ climate control system ensures that it emits cool air without any moisture or humidity from the system. The air is conditioned and set to the temperature that you selected in order to make you, your passengers, and your cargo (in an SUV/crossover) comfortable no matter the length of the journey. The Lexus AC system not only keeps you cool, but it also plays an important part in safety year-round.

As recommended maintenance, automobile air conditioners should be recharged with refrigerant every two years or as recommended.  Since the Freon phaseout, car AC’s have used a safer refrigerant called R-134a. Using the AC does not consume the refrigerant, so there is no need to top it off at the start of the season. However, should you find your Lexus AC no longer blowing cool air, our service technicians will quickly diagnose and repair any issue, from leaks to compressor or condenser malfunction, and everything in between. If you need service, call (956) 420-0862 or use our convenient Service Appointment Form.

We recommend that you have your climate control system checked annually. That way, you can beat the heat with a healthy air conditioning system keeping everyone – and everything – cool inside. Your air conditioner’s filter should be replaced once per year or every 12,000 miles. This will be covered in your car’s factory-recommended scheduled maintenance visits.

Maintaining Your Lexus Air Conditioning System

Not everything you must do to keep your climate control working at its best requires an appointment at the dealership’s service center. You can play an important part in this without even opening the hood, just by turning on the AC on a regular basis. Regular use year-round is important for keeping a car’s air-conditioning system working at its best. It helps maintain pressure for optimal compressor performance and keeps the hoses, valves, and other essential components from drying out. For this reason, you should run the AC on high for about ten minutes every week, even in cold weather. The same goes for the defrost feature; run it for ten minutes weekly to optimize performance and remove the excess moisture that can cause mildew and odor.
