—Operating tips  
D 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.  
D Make sure the air intake grilles in front  
of the windshield are not blocked (by  
leaves or snow, for example).  
D On humid days, do not blow cold air  
on the windshield. The windshield could  
fog up because of the difference in air  
temperature on the inside and outside  
of the windshield.  
D Keep the area under the front seats  
clear to allow air to circulate through-  
out the vehicle.  
D On cold days, turn the fan speed to  
”HI” for a minute to help clear the in-  
take ducts of snow or moisture. This  
can reduce the amount of fogging on  
the windows.
