Has anyone ever seen this come on, or does anyone know how it works? I am talking about the button by the other climate buttons that has a symbol of air blowing through a filter. I can manually activate it but in the manual it says it is automatic also.

Set to "Auto" mode and that's it =)
AC not working if outside temp is below 0 degrees. (not sure...)
Press "Auto" button for 3-5 sec continuously to adjust "smog sensor" in 5 levels

So what tells it to switch?
I'll mess aroung with the Auto button, does something show up on the screen that tells me what sensitivity I am at?
I really want to hear more about what type of sensor is in this thing.

I know how a lot of sensors work; temp, resistance, conductivity,ect, but how does this smog thingy work? Does it have a partical counter built in? I am thinking the smog particals are charged so it senses a electrical charge.

The sensor doesn't seem to pick up diesel fumes but works pretty well on other pollutants. So I doubt it is a particle-type sensor. If you have sensitivity problems check out this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...-cleaning.html
