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.

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.

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.
