■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

windshield effectively.

●If you turn

off, the windows may fog up more easily.

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

■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.

■Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to

the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)

panel which may cover the air outlets.

Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,

preventing the windshield defoggers

from defogging.

Power heater

This feature is used to keep the cab warm in cold conditions.

On/off

The power heater turns on about

30 seconds after you press the

switch and it takes about another

55 seconds to warm up.

■Power heater can be operated when

●The engine is running.

●The outside temperature is low.

●The engine coolant temperature is low.

■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 that is 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.

WARNING

■To prevent burns or damage on your vehicle

●Do not touch the heater or its exhaust

pipe as they are hot.

●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.

WARNING

■When closing the panoramic roof shade

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their bod-

ies in a position where they could be caught when the panoramic roof

shade is being operated.

●Do not allow children to operate the panoramic roof shade.

Closing the panoramic roof shade on someone can cause death or serious

injury.

■Jam protection function

●Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection

function intentionally.

●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just

before the panoramic roof shade fully closes.

■To prevent burns or injury

Observe the following precautions.

●Although the jam protection function has been installed, make sure that

passenger’s hands and faces are not caught in the panoramic roof shade

while it is closing. Also, as there is a chance that the jam protection func-

tion will not react just before closing, make sure not to catch fingers etc. in

the roof.

●The opening or closing of the panoramic roof shade can be stopped by

pressing the switch.

●If the panoramic roof shade will not close (for example, due to a malfunc-

tion in the jam protection function), the shade can be closed by pressing

and holding the switch.

●The jam protection function may operate if a load or impact, similar to that

applied when a foreign object is caught in the roof shade, is applied by

environmental or driving conditions.

●The underside of the roof will become hot if the vehicle is left in the direct

sunlight for a long period of time. Do not touch the parts inside the gap

between the roof underside and the roof shade, as you may burn yourself.

●Do not touch any rough or sheared parts of the roof underside, as you may

injure yourself.
