■Fogging up of the windows

●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 wind-

shield effectively.

●If you turn

off, the windows may fog up more easily.

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

■Outside/recirculated air mode

●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-

side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-

tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During

cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle

interior effectively.

●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the

temperature setting or the inside temperature.

■When the outside temperature is low

The dehumidification function may not operate even when

is pressed.

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors

●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.

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

and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to

be emitted from the vents.

●To reduce potential odors 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

→P. 501

■Customization

Settings (e.g. air conditioning setting) can be changed.

(Customizable features →P. 628)

WARNING

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.

The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the

windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-

ing your vision.

●Do not place anything on the instrument

panel which may cover the air outlets.

Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,

preventing the windshield defoggers

from defogging.

■To prevent burns

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror

defoggers are on.

NOTICE

■To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the

engine is stopped.

Power heater

This feature is used to keep the cabin warm in extremely cold

conditions.

On/off

The power heater turns on about

30 seconds after you press the

switch and it takes approximately

55 seconds to warm up.

■The power heater can be operated when

The engine is running.

■Normal characteristics of power heater operation

The following cases do not indicate a malfunction.

●When the power heater is turned on or off, some white smoke and a slight

odor may be emitted from the power heater exhaust, located under the floor.

6

●When the power heater is being used under extremely cold conditions,

vapor may be visible from its exhaust.

●When the power heater is turned off, you may hear a sound in the engine

compartment for about 2 minutes until the power heater turns off completely.

■After the heater is off

We recommend not restarting the heater for 10 minutes after you turn it off.

Otherwise, a noise may be heard as the heater ignites.

■When refueling your vehicle

The engine must be turned off. Turning the engine off turns the power heater

off.

∗: If equipped

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

WARNING

■To prevent burns or damage to your vehicle

●Do not touch the heater or its exhaust

pipe as they are hot. You may burn

yourself.

●Keep flammable items such as fuel

away from the heater and its exhaust

pipe. This may cause a fire.

NOTICE

■To prevent damage to your vehicle

●Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this

can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned

on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is

being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.

●Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

This may cause a heater malfunction or a fire.

●Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the

heater fuel pump. This may cause the heater to malfunction.

●Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,

ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to

malfunction.

●If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke or poor opera-

tion, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-

sional.
