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, set the fan speed to

high for

minute to help clear the

intake ducts of snow or moisture. This

can reduce the amount of fogging on

the windows.
