Not sure if I should worry.
2017 LC200 bought new last Spring, still less than a year so under factory warranty.
The button controlling windshield/feet air circulation (red arrow in the pic below) does not light up when pressed, I'm pretty sure it did (before... my last service at the dealer).

I just ran out and checked the infamous recirc flap operation - it appears to work (I was reading the forum posts here - great info - thank you!).

I can't tell if it's just the LED light in the button. I usually have it in AUTO (which lights up when pressed, just like every other button - lights up when pressed), not much changes (nothing?) when I press the non-lighting (non-functioning?) button.

What to do?
Leave it alone, or take it back to the dealer...? I have not had the best experience with them so far (Jay Wolffe, St. Louis, MO) but take it there for the PM program.

TIA

Look more closely. Even with my screwed up eyes I can see that while most buttons in that series have LEDs...that one...and the OFF and Climate Control buttons do not have an LED status indicator.

Here:
I zoomed in and brightened up your photo so it’s easier to see the buttons that do...and do not...have LED toggles on them:

OK... More zoomed-
There is no LED there to light up...besides the symbol that is back-lit at night regardless of current status.

Damn... That would be simple, wouldn't it...
:oops:

EDIT: It's official: you are correct! (Where is the "shamefaced" emoji when I need it.)

Thank you, very much appreciated.

In my (very weak) defense, my last service at that dealer was a disaster requiring two return trips, so I was feeling a bit paranoid about all the climate controls, having vivid visions of a violated recirc flap etc.

Heh... Don’t sweat it, man.
-If my maaaany forehead-slapping oversights were listed here, I’d need a super-powered-shame-faced emoji.

Until they invent that one...I rely on this one... :doh:

:)
