Adjusting the settings

To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control dial clockwise (increase) or counterclockwise (decrease). Turning the dial to “0” turns off the fan.

Vehicles without an air conditioning on/off button: Turn the temperature control dial clockwise to increase the temperature. Vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button:

To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control dial clockwise (warm) or counterclockwise (cool).

If is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature air or heated air.
For quick cooling, turn the temperature control dial to “MAX A/C” position and set the outside/recirculated air mode button to recirculated air mode.

To select the air outlets, set the air outlet selector dial to the desired position. The positions between the air outlet selections shown below can also be selected for more delicate adjustment.

Defogging the windshield

Set the air outlet selector dial to position.

If the recirculated air mode is used, it will automatically switch to the outside air mode. In this position, the outside/recirculated air mode cannot be changed to the recirculated air mode.

Perform the following operations accordingly:

● To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control dial.
● To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control dial.
● If the dehumidification function is not operating, press to operate the dehumidification function.

To defog the windshield and the side windows early, turn the air flow and temperature up.

Air outlets and air flow

Air flows to the upper body.

Air flows to the upper body and feet.

: Some models

Air flows mainly to the feet.

: Some models

Air flows to the feet and the windshield defogger operates.

If the recirculated air mode is used, it will automatically switch to the outside air mode. In this position, the outside/recirculated air mode cannot be changed to the recirculated air mode.

: Some models

Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes

Press .

The mode switches between outside air mode (introduces air from outside the vehicle) (indicator off) and recirculated air mode (recycles air inside the vehicle) (indicator on) each time the button is pressed.

Adjusting the position of and opening and closing the air outlets

Center outlets

Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.

Right and left side outlets

Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.

Open the vent.

Close the vent.

■Fogging up of the windows

●The windows will easily fog up when the humidify in the vehicle is high. Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively. (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)
●If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily. (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)

●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

■Outside/recirculated air mode

When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/ recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

■When the indicator light on goes off by itself (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)

Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator light goes off again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Toyota dealer.

■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32°F (0°C) (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)

The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.

■Air conditioning odors

●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 outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

CAUTION

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.

NOTICE

■To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is stopped.
