Defogging the windshield

Defoggers are used to defog the 
windshield and front side win-
dows.
Press the windshield defogger 
switch on the air conditioning 
control panel.

Set the outside/recirculated air 
mode switch to outside air mode if 
the recirculated air mode is used. (It 
may switch 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 rain-
drops, dew and frost from the 
outside rear view mirrors.
Press the rear window and out-
side rear view mirror defoggers 
switch on the air conditioning 
control panel.

The defoggers will automatically 
turn off after 15 minutes.

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.

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 con-

sumption.

Recirculated air mode is selected 

as a default mode when the power 

switch is turned to ON.

It is possible to switch to outside 

air mode at any time by selecting 

the outside/recirculated air mode 

switch.

Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up 

when the humidity in the vehicle is 

high. Turning the cooling and 

dehumidification function on will 

dehumidify the air from the outlets 

and defog the windshield effec-

tively.

If you turn the cooling and dehu-

midification function off, the win-

dows 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.

humidity sensor detects fog on the 

windshield and controls the air con-

ditioning system to prevent fog.

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 selected.

Operation of the air condition-

ing system in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air condi-

tioning system is controlled as fol-

lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:

• Fuel cell system and compressor 

operation controlled to restrict 

heating/cooling capacity

• Fan speed restricted when auto-

matic mode is selected

To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following 

operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Turn off Eco drive mode (

P.320)

• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode

When the driving mode is set to 

Eco drive mode, the Eco air condi-

tioning mode will be turned on 

automatically. Even in this case, 

the Eco air conditioning mode can 

be turned off by selecting the Eco 

air conditioning mode switch.

When cleaning the air condi-

tioning control panel

Touch switches may respond when 

cleaning. Turn the power switch to 

OFF before proceeding with clean-

ing.

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.

In order to suppress odors that 

occur when the air conditioning 

system starts, the air flow mode 

may change to blow air to the feet 

or air may stop blowing for a short 

period of time immediately after 

the air conditioning system is 

started in automatic 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.

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 rear view mirror 

surfaces when the outside rear 

view mirror defoggers are on.

NOTICE

To prevent 12-volt battery dis-

charge

Do not leave the air conditioning 

system on longer than necessary 

when the fuel cell system is off.

Humidity sensor (Vehicles 

with Toyota Teammate 

Advanced Drive)

In order to detect fog on the wind-

shield, a sensor which monitors 

the temperature of the windshield, 

the surround humidity, etc. is 

installed.

Follow these points to avoid dam-

aging the sensor:

Do not disassemble the sensor

Do not spray glass cleaner on 

the sensor or subject it to strong 

impacts

Do not stick anything on the 

sensor

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 is pressed.

Vehicles with DUAL-ZONE 
climate control

To turn on the “DUAL” mode, 
select the “SYNC” switch on the 
air conditioning control screen.

The driver’s side temperature con-
trol switches can be used to adjust 
the temperature for the driver’s and 
passenger’s side. To enter individ-
ual mode, operate the passenger’s 
side temperature control switches 
or select the “SYNC” switch again.
When the “SYNC” mode is on, the 
indicator illuminates on the “SYNC” 
switch.

Vehicles with 3-ZONE cli-
mate control

To turn on the “3-ZONE” mode, 
select the “SYNC” switch on the 
air conditioning control screen.

The driver’s side temperature con-
trol switches can be used to adjust 
the temperature for the driver’s and 
passenger’s side. To enter individ-
ual mode, operate the passenger’s 
side temperature control switches 
or select the “SYNC” switch again.

When the “SYNC” mode is on, the 
indicator illuminates on the “SYNC” 
switch.

This function automatically con-
trols the air conditioning airflow 
so that priority is given to the 
front seats.
Vehicles with 3-ZONE climate 
control: When the front passen-
ger seat is not occupied, airflow 
may switch to only the driver’s 
seat.
Unnecessary air conditioning is 
suppressed, contributing to 
increased fuel efficiency.

After the fuel cell system is 

started, if passengers move 

around inside or enter/exit the 

vehicle, the system cannot accu-

sengers and automatic airflow 

control will not operate.
