5-1. Using the air conditioning system

■

Fast cooling function

Press the “MAX A/C” switch.

When the switch is turned on, the 
air conditioning will turn on, the 
temperature will be set to LO, the 
fan speed will be set to MAX, the air 
outlets will be set to upper body, 
and the air mode will change to 
recirculated air mode automatically.
To turn off fast cooling function and 
return the previous setting, press 
the “MAX A/C” switch again.

■

Suspend function

Press the “ON/OFF” switch.

While the air conditioning system is 
being used, when the “ON/OFF” 
switch is pressed, the air condition-
ing system will stop and the tem-

turn off.
If the “ON/OFF” switch is pushed 
and turned on, the air conditioning 
system will operate in the operating 
state it was in when turned off. 
However, if the fast cooling function 
was operating when the air condi-
tioning system was turned off, it will 
operate in the operating state it was 
in before the fast cooling function 
was turned on.

■

Defogging the windshield

Defoggers are used to defog the 
windshield and front side win-
dows.
Press the windshield defogger 
switch.

Set the outside/recirculated air 
mode switch to outside air mode if 
the recirculated air mode is used. 
(Changes automatically)

To defog the windshield and the 
side windows quickly, turn the air 
flow and temperature up.
To return to the previous mode, 
press the windshield defogger 
switch again when the windshield is 
defogged.
When the windshield defogger 
switch is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the windshield defogger 
switch.

■

Defogging the rear window 
and outside rear view mir-
rors

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 
turn off after approximately 15 min-
utes.
When the rear window and outside 
rear view mirror defoggers switch is 
on, the indicator illuminates on the 
rear window and outside rear view 
mirror defoggers 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.

■

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 the engine switch is 

changed to the OFF or ACC posi-

tion from ON, the air inlet mode 

will automatically change to the 

outside air mode regardless of 

whether it is the auto mode or 

manual mode.

To stop the operation, press 
the “ON/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.

■

Location of air outlets

The air outlets and air volume 
changes according to the 
selected air flow mode.

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.
