NOTICE
Do not operate the rear wiper if the
rear window is dry. It may scratch the
glass.
Rear window defogger
To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the ”ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light will illuminate to indicate
the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defogger off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the surfaces are clear. Leaving the defog-
ger on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stop and go driving. The defogger is not
designed for drying rain water or for melt-
ing snow.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.

mirrors will quickly clear the surfaces. An
indicator light will illuminate to indicate the
mirror heaters are operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the mirror heaters have operated about
15 minutes.

Since the mirror surfaces can get hot,
do not touch them when the mirror
heater switch is on.
Make sure you turn the mirror heaters off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
mirror heaters on for a long time could
cause the battery to discharge, especially
during stop and go driving. The mirror
heaters are not designed for drying rain
water or for melting snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray de icer
before operating the switch.

—Operating tips
To cool off your Toyota after it has
been parked in the hot sun, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes.
This vents the hot air, allowing the air
conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
Make sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield. The windshield could
fog up because of the difference in air
temperature on the inside and outside
of the windshield.
Keep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
On cold days, set the fan speed to
high for a minute to help clear the
intake ducts of snow or moisture. This
can reduce the amount of fogging on
the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake selector be set to
FRESH and the fan speed selector to
any setting except ”OFF”.
If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATE, which will close off the
outside passage and prevent outside
air and dust from entering the vehicle
interior.Heating
For best results, set controls to:
Fan speed— ”AUTO”
Temperature— To the desired
temperature
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow— ”AUTO”
Lower vent—CLOSED
Air conditioning—OFF
Turning the fan speed selector knob to
”AUTO” position turns on the air condition-
ing. At this time, the ”A/C” button indicator
comes on regardless of whether or not the
”A/C” button is pressed in.
When the ”A/C” button is not pressed in,
turning the fan speed selector knob to
”OFF” or pressing in the ”A/C” button
turns off the air conditioning system.
For quick heating, select recirculated
air for a few minutes. To keep the
windows from fogging, select fresh af-
ter the vehicle interior has been war-
med.
Press the ”A/C” button on for dehumidi-
fied heating.
Choose floor/windshield air flow to heat
the vehicle interior while defrosting or
defogging the windshield.

The inside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:
Temperature— To w a r d s high
temperature to heat;
low temperature to
cool
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—WINDSHIELD
Lower vent—CLOSED
When turning the air flow control knob to
windshield position, the air intake selects
”Fresh” automatically. This is to clean up
the front view more quickly.
Press the ”A/C” button for dehumidified
heating or cooling. This setting clears the
front view more quickly.
On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield—the difference be-
tween the outside and inside tempera-
tures could make the fogging worse.

—Instrument panel vents
Center vents
Side vents
Lower vent
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check
the instrument panel vents. The instrument
panel vents may be opened or closed as
shown.
For removing frost or fog, it is recom-
mended that you close the lower vent
when you use the ”Floor”, the ”Floor/Wind-
shield” or the ”Windshield” mode.
