If the driver wishes to let the Last Door Closed Locking
feature complete the locking of the vehicle, no
additional action is required. The Last Door Closed
Locking feature will lock the doors automatically after
all the doors have been closed for a period of five
seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
shown previously are again available.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the Last Door
Closed Locking feature as described previously or to
completely disable the Last Door Closed Locking
feature at all times. If disabled, the doors will lock
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.
The Last Door Closed locking feature is customized
when the driver performs the following sequence with
the doors closed and the ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.
2. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will turn the Last Door Closed Locking feature on
or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the Last Door Closed Locking
feature is off, and two chimes will be heard if the
Last Door Closed Locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The Last Door Closed Locking feature is enabled when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change the programmed mode of the Last Door Closed
Locking feature.

is released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
RAV lock mode.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not

Verification functions.Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the remote
keyless entry system. The interior illumination will be
activated when an remote keyless entry door unlock
command is received. The ignition must be off for the
Remote Activation Illumination to work. The interior
lamps will illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON
or until the illumination period of 40 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the
interior lamps will remain on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.

Compass Calibration
To place the compass into calibration mode, press both
map lamp buttons and hold for over eight seconds
until the letter ªCº is displayed in the mirror
compass window.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:

drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display indicates a direction, or

drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross
-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the difference
between earth's magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance,
your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.2. Press and hold both map lamp buttons on the bottom
of the mirror, for five to eight seconds, until the zone
number appears in the display.
3. Press the right lamp button to increase the zone
numbers or press the left lamp button to decrease the
zone numbers. After you have selected your zone
number, the display will show a compass direction
after five seconds. (Compass calibration may be
necessary. See ªCompass Calibrationº in the Index.)

Driver Temperature Knob
The left (DRIVER) knob sets the temperature for the
entire system when the right (PASS) knob is in the center
or neutral position. Turn DRIVER knob clockwise (toward
red) to raise the temperature. Turn it counterclockwise
(toward blue) to lower the temperature. The display will
show your selection for a few seconds, then the outside
temperature will show. If you push the knob the set
temperature will again be displayed for a few seconds,
then the outside temperature will show.
Passenger Temperature Knob
The right (PASS) knob
adjusts the air temperature
on the passenger's side so it
is warmer or cooler than the
temperature set by
the driver.
Turn the PASS knob clockwise (toward red) to raise the
temperature. Turn it counterclockwise (toward blue) to
lower the temperature. The passenger temperature will
not be shown in the display.Auto Button
For the most efficient operation you should press the
AUTO button and set the system temperature. The
system will select the best fan speed and airflow settings
to keep you comfortable. The air conditioning
compressor will run if the outside temperature is above
40
F (4.5
C). You may notice a delay of three to
four minutes before the fan comes on.
Off Button
Push the OFF button to turn the system off. The display
will show OFF and outside temperature. The system will
continue to automatically control air temperature to the
last set temperature.
Manual Control
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle, set the system to the
temperature and fan speed you want. Next, push the
desired airflow direction pushbutton. The system will
try to maintain the temperature you set using the mode
you select. The following suggestions will help the
system run more efficiently in manual mode.

Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, use RECIRC. If
this setting is used for long periods of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use UPPER with the
A/C button pushed in. The system will bring in outside
air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI
-LEV with the A/C button pushed in.
The system will bring in outside air and direct it to your
upper body, while sending slightly warmed air to your
lower body. You may notice this temperature difference
more at some times than others.Heating
On cold days use LOWER. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0
F (
-18
C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See ªEngine Coolant
Heaterº in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use UPPER to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the
flow
-through ventilation system described later in this
section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use your
front DEFOG button. To warm passengers while
keeping the windows clean, use DEFOG by pressing the
MODE button.
