bladest, do you have an owner's manual?

I believe this is not available in the US so only non-US models will have it (unless you are crafty to retrofit) so you won't get much help.

Regardless, you should read first before posting questions how to use a feature on the car.

You need to find the owners manual, it should be available free of charge from Lexus. The US ones may not have the option you talk about in it.

Contact Lexus and ask them like you have in the past.

It’s just a setting in the air con. I have ion generator on all the Lexuses I have owned. GS, ES, and RX.

It’s a Panasonic technology and now you can get it on home heat pumps as well.

The ions only come out from one of the driver facing vents.

You activate it on the display under heating/ventilation settings down in the bottom.
Believe it actually says “ION” on the button.
Its self explanatory

it is a setting in the vehicle i do believe it introduces small droplets of moisture into the cars interior to freshen the air if it as been on recirculation a fair bit of time.
But in truth what do you want to know about that its the least of your problems as your car is unroadworthy even that may not be operational.

I tried to retrofit it, never got the button in the climate control to show up. Fellow member Chungvatra tried too with no success.

i tried activating this option today, does it do anything i mean i dont noticed any change of the smell or something what exactly should it happen how i can verify if its working properly?
i activated it but i dont noticed anything different? At least i can have some fun with the car features, not sure if it working, may be my filter is clogged up since its 6 years old since my car smells terrible... and this nanoe doesnt change the odour.. ?

About the retrofit i guess its also coded in some ecu/ thats why it has not been success.
you need more swap/ parts ecus including. What icon after 3 zone do ? will it blown oin my face only or ? Also about this s-flow funciton is it integrated somehow or impossible to use i dont see any option for it as well..

I was going to post that you had the conversion parts. I was not sure if you ever got it working? This is a 1st for you. But its not over till its over! I'm guessing European country Head and display?

I have the NV unit to install, then determined the IR Cam was in the special Headlight?

You need to get that owners manual pdf. Have you reached out to Lexus yet?

did you google this question? There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing how it works.
