Operating tips

•

To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows

open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the

interior more quickly.

•

Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windscreen are not blocked (by leaves

or snow, for example).

On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windscreen. The windscreen could fog

up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the

windscreen.

157

INTERIOR FEATURES

Using the air conditioning system and defogger

•

The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning

on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windscreen effectively.

If you turn

off, the windows may fog up more easily.

The windows may fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used.

•

Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the

vehicle.

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.

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 the air intake

selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except OFF.

•

If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions,

it is recommended the air intake selector be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which

will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the

vehicle interior.

When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0˚C the dehumidification function may

not operate even when

is pressed.

CAUTION

To prevent the windscreen from fogging up do not use

on in extremely humid weather.

with the air conditioning

The difference in temperature between the outside air and the windscreen can cause the

outer surface of the windscreen to fog up, blocking your vision.

NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than

necessary when the engine is stopped.

When the A/C button is not pressed in, pressing another air flow button turns off the

air conditioning.

•

On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windscreen. The difference between the

outside and inside temperatures could make the fogging worse.

Air conditioning odours

During use, various odours from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and

accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odours to be emitted from

the vents. To reduce potential odours from occurring:

•

It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior to

turning the vehicle off.

•

The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately

after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

Air conditioning filter

The air conditioning filter must be changed regularly to maintain air conditioning

efficiency. Refer to “Air conditioning filter” on page 272.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER

To defog or defrost the rear window, press

the switch.

The system will automatically shut

off when the operation time has been

completed. The operation time is between

15 minutes and 1 hour depending on the

ambient temperature and vehicle speed.

NOTICE

When cleaning the inside of the rear

window, be careful not to scratch or

damage the heater wires or connectors.
