—Operating tips

D To cool off your Toyota after it has been

parked in the hot sun, drive with the win-

dows open for a few minutes. This vents

the hot air, allowing the air conditioning

to cool the interior more quickly.

D Make sure the air intake grilles in front of

the windshield are not blocked (by leaves

or snow, for example).

D On humid days, do not blow cold air on

the windshield. The windshield could fog

up because of the difference in air tem-

perature on the inside and outside of the

windshield.

D Keep the area under the front seats clear

to allow air to circulate throughout the

vehicle.

D On cold days, set the fan speed to high

for a minute to help clear the intake ducts

of snow or moisture. This can reduce the

amount of fogging on the windows.

D When driving on dusty roads, close all

windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle

is still drawn into the vehicle after closing

the windows, it is recommended that the

air intake selector be set to FRESH and

the fan speed selector to any setting ex-

cept OFF.

D If following another vehicle on a dusty

road, or driving in windy and dusty condi-

tions, it is recommended that the air in-

take selector be temporarily set to RE-

CIRCULATE, which will close off the

outside passage and prevent outside air

and dust from entering the vehicle interior.
