Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window, and to remove
raindrops, dew and frost from
the outside rear view mirrors.
Press the rear window and out-
side rear view mirror defoggers
switch.

The defoggers will automatically

■

Eco air conditioning mode

The air conditioning is controlled
with low fuel consumption priori-

tized such as reducing fan
speed, etc.
Press the eco air conditioning
mode switch.

When the eco air conditioning
mode is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the eco air conditioning
mode switch.

■

When the outside temperature

exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air

conditioning system is on

●

In order to reduce the air condi-

tioning power consumption, the air

conditioning system may switch to

recirculated air mode automati-

cally. This may also reduce fuel

consumption.

●

Recirculated air mode is selected

as a default mode when the

engine switch is turned to ON.

●

It is possible to switch to outside

air mode at any time by pressing

the outside air mode switch.

■

Fogging up of the windows

●

The windows will easily fog up

when the humidity in the vehicle is

high. Turning “A/C” on will dehu-

midify the air from the outlets and

defog the windshield effectively.

●

If you turn “A/C” off, the windows

may fog up more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the

recirculated air mode is used.

■

When driving on dusty roads

Close all windows. If dust thrown up

by the vehicle is still drawn into the

vehicle after closing the windows, it

is recommended that the air intake

mode be set to outside air mode and

the fan speed to any setting except

off.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

●

Setting to the recirculated air

mode temporarily is recom-

mended in preventing dirty air

from entering the vehicle interior

and helping to cool the vehicle

when the outside air temperature

is high.

●

Outside/recirculated air mode may

automatically switch depending on

the temperature setting or the

inside temperature.

■

Operation of the air condition-

ing system in Eco air condition-

ing mode

●

In Eco air conditioning mode, the

air conditioning system is con-

trolled as follows to prioritize fuel

efficiency:

• Heater and compressor operation

controlled to restrict heating/cool-

ing capacity

• Fan speed restricted when auto-

matic mode is selected

●

To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following

operations:

• Turn off eco air conditioning mode

(



P.393)

• Adjust the fan speed

■

When the outside temperature

falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may

not operate even when “A/C” switch

is pressed.

■

Ventilation and air conditioning

odors

●

To let fresh air in, set the air condi-

tioning 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 out-

side air mode prior to turning the

vehicle off.

• The start timing of the blower may

be delayed for a short period of

time immediately after the air con-

ditioning system is started in auto-

matic mode.

●

When parking, the system auto-

matically switches to outside air

mode to encourage better air cir-

culation throughout the vehicle,

helping to reduce odors that occur

when starting the vehicle.

ting.

To stop the operation, press
the off switch.

If the fan speed setting or air
flow modes are operated, the
automatic mode indicator goes
off. However, automatic mode
for functions other than that
operated is maintained.

■

Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automati-

cally according to the temperature

setting and the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a

while until warm or cool air is ready

to flow immediately after the auto-

matic mode switch pressed.

Prevent ice from building up on
the windshield and wiper
blades.

When the windshield wiper de-icer
switch is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the windshield wiper
de-icer switch.
The windshield wiper de-icer will
automatically turn off after a period
of time.

WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield

from fogging up

Do not use the windshield defog-

ger switch during cool air opera-

tion in extremely humid weather.

The difference between the tem-

perature of the outside air and

that of the windshield can cause

the outer surface of the wind-

shield to fog up, blocking your

vision.

■

When the outside rear view

mirror defoggers are operat-

ing

Do not touch the outside rear view

mirror surfaces, as they can

become very hot and burn you.

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning

system on longer than necessary

when the engine is off.

■

When repairing/replacing

parts of the air conditioning

system

Have repair/replacement per-

formed by your Toyota dealer.

When a part of the air conditioning

system, such as the evaporator, is

to be replaced, it must be

replaced with a new one.
