AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Fan speed selector

right to increase, to the left to decrease.

Temperature selector

Turn the knob to adjust the temperature—to

the right to warm, to the left to cool.

Air intake selector

Press the button to select the air source.

1. RECIRCULATE (indicator light is on)—

Recirculates the air inside the vehicle.

2. FRESH (indicator light is off)—Draws out-

side air into the system.

To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the

air intake mode may change automatically to

FRESH depending on the condition of the air

conditioning system.

Air flow selector

Turn the knob to select the vents used for air

flow.

1. Panel—Air flows mainly from the instru-

A/C button

ment panel vents.

To turn on the air conditioning, press the A/C

button. The A/C button indicator will come on.

To turn the air conditioning off, press the but-

ton again.

2. Bi-level—Air flows from both the floor

vents and the instrument panel vents.

3. Floor—Air flows mainly from the floor

vents.

If the A/C button indicator flashes, there is

a problem in the air conditioning system and

the air conditioning automatically shuts off.

If this happens, take your vehicle to a Toyota

dealer for service.

4. Floor/Windshield—Air flows mainly from

the floor vents and windshield vents.

5. Windshield—Air flows mainly from the

windshield vents.

This position allows the air intake to

select FRESH automatically. This is to

clean up the front view more quickly.

If you want to return the setting to

RECIRCULATE mode, press the air in-

take selector button once again.

—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.
