Fan speed controller

Set the fan speed by turning the knob - to the right to

increase, to the left to decrease.

Temperature controller

Set the temperature by turning the knob - to

the right to increase, to the left to decrease.

Air flow controller

Select the air flow vents by turning the knob.

1. Panel – Air flows mainly from the vents in the

instrument panel.

2. Dual Level – Air flows from both floor vents and

instrument panel vents

3. Floor – Air flows mainly from the wind-

holes near the floor.

4. Floor/Windshield - Air flows mainly from the floor

vents and the windshield vents.

5. Windshield – Air flows mainly from the windshield

vents.

This position allows you to automatically select the

FRESH air supply. This serves to clean the

windshield faster.

To return the setting to RECIRCULATION mode,

press the air supply button again.

on the air conditioner for defrosting. At that moment, the

"A/C" button indicator lights up regardless of whether

the "A/C" button has been pressed or not. This serves to

clean the windshield faster.

Turn off the air conditioning itself by pressing the "A/C"

button again.

If the "A/C" button is not pressed, selecting another air

flow mode will turn off the air conditioner.

– Operating instructions

Heating

• To cool down your Toyota after parking in the hot sun,

drive for a few minutes with the windows open. The

venting of hot air will allow the air conditioner to cool

the interior faster.

Adjust drivers for best performance:

Fan Speed - Any setting except "OFF"

Temperature - Towards WARM (red)

Air Supply - FRESH (from outside)

Airflow - FLOOR

Air conditioning - OFF

• Make sure that the air intake grilles in front of the

windshield are not blocked (e.g. by leaves, snow, etc.).

• Do not blow cold air on the windshield in wet weather.

The windshield could fog up due to the difference in

air temperature on the inside and outside of the

windshield.

• For a quick warm-up, select air recirculation for a few

minutes. To prevent the windows from fogging up,

select the fresh air intake after the vehicle interior has

warmed up.

• Press to remove moisture during heating

"A/C" button.

• Keep the space under the front seats empty to allow air

circulation in the vehicle.

• When defrosting or defogging the windshield, select floor/

windshield airflow to warm the vehicle interior.

• In cold weather, run the fan on full speed for about a

minute to help clear the intake vents of snow or

moisture. This can reduce window fogging.

Air conditioning

• Close all windows when driving in dusty areas. If dust

enters the vehicle interior even after the windows are

closed, we recommend that you set the air supply

control to FRESH and the fan speed control to any

position except "OFF".

Adjust drivers for best performance:

Fan Speed - Any setting

except "OFF"

Temperature - Towards COOL (blue)

Air Supply - FRESH (from outside)

Air flow – PANEL

Air conditioning - ON

• If the vehicle in front of you is driving on a dusty road or

you are driving in wind and dust, then we recommend

temporarily setting the air supply control to

RECIRCULATION mode, which closes the external

supply and prevents dust from entering the vehicle

interior.

• For quick cooling, select air recirculation for a few minutes.

Vents in the instrument panel

Additional heating

Side vents

The auxiliary heater is designed to warm

the vehicle cabin in cold weather.

Turn on the auxiliary heating by pressing

the switch.

The engine must be running.

A lit indicator indicates that the additional

heating is switched on.

The auxiliary heater turns on approximately 30

seconds after the button is pressed and takes

approximately another 55 seconds to fully heat up.

After the engine coolant has warmed up

sufficiently, the system automatically controls

the heating level.

Medium vents

If the airflow is not satisfactory, check the

vents in the instrument panel. These can be

either open or closed, see picture.

When the auxiliary heater is switched on or off, white

smoke and a faint odor may come from the exhaust

under the floor. If the auxiliary heater is used in

extremely cold conditions, steam may escape from the

exhaust. This is normal.

To turn off the auxiliary heater, do the following:

• Press the auxiliary heater switch once

more.

• Stop the engine.

After switching off the auxiliary heater, you can

hear a sound from the engine compartment for

about 2 minutes. This means that the electric fans

are operating to cool the auxiliary heater parts and

does not indicate a malfunction.

WARNING

• Do not touch the auxiliary heater or

its exhaust pipe when they are hot.

You could burn yourself.

After approximately 2 minutes, the fans will stop and

the auxiliary heater will switch off completely.

• Do not place any flammable objects,

such as fuel, near the auxiliary heater

or its exhaust pipe.

We recommend that you do not switch on the

auxiliary heater before 10 minutes after it has been

switched off. Otherwise, noise may be heard when

the heater is turned on.

This could cause a fire.

The auxiliary heater must be switched off

before refuelling.

NOTICE

u Do not use the wrong fuels, as this could

cause noise when the heater is turned on,

corrosion or a shorter service life of the

auxiliary heater. (Details - see "Fuel" on

page 281 in Chapter 2)

u Do not switch the auxiliary heater on and off

repeatedly within 5-minute intervals, this

could shorten the service life of the auxiliary

heater. If you must repeatedly turn the

engine on and off at short intervals (such

as on supply trips, etc.), turn off the auxiliary

heater switch.

Air conditioning filter –

u Do not modify or open the auxiliary heater

without consulting any authorized Toyota

dealer or service center, or another properly

qualified and equipped professional. This

could cause a fire or heating failure.

u Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid

directly on the auxiliary heater or the auxiliary

heater fuel pump. This could cause a heating

failure.

u Make sure that water, snow, ice, mud, etc. do

not get into the suction and exhaust pipes of

the auxiliary heater.

At the bottom of the center pillar on the passenger

side is an air conditioning filter information sticker

(see picture) to indicate that the filter has been

installed.

If the pipe becomes clogged, it can cause the

heating to malfunction.

The air conditioning filter prevents dust from entering

the vehicle through the air vents.

u If you notice anything unusual, such as fluid

leakage, smoke, or low heater efficiency, turn

off the auxiliary heater and have the vehicle

checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or

service center, or another properly qualified

and equipped professional.

– Checking and replacing the filter

air conditioning

The air conditioner filter may become clogged after

long-term use. The filter should be replaced if you

find that the air flow during ventilation and heating

is not sufficient or the windows fog up more easily

in FRESH mode.

To ensure good air conditioning efficiency, check and

replace the filter according to the maintenance

schedule. (Refer to the "Toyota Service Booklet" or

"Toyota Warranty Booklet" for maintenance schedule

information.)

The air conditioning filter is located behind the

glove box.

INFORMATION

The air filter should be installed correctly in

its place. Using the air conditioner with the

filter removed will cause the anti-dust

efficiency to deteriorate, which will

subsequently affect the performance of the air conditioner.
