2004 AVALON from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM41412U)
This air conditioning system has a high
efficient air refiner filter which helps
eliminate dust and pollen, thereby in-
creasing your driving comfort.
The air conditioning filter is set behind
the glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reductions
in operating efficiency, or if the windows
begin to fog up easily.Perform filter replacement periodically.
Period of replacement (expected):
For U.S.A.—Every 30000 miles
For Canada—Every 16000 km
NOTE: This is the normal maintenance
period. This may change depending on
operating conditions.
If the symptoms of air conditioning
efficiency problems occur, contact your
Toyota dealer to have the filter checked
and replaced.
(Actual replacement time: Less than 10
minutes approximately)
NOTICE
Do not try to replace the air condi-
tioning filter by yourself. Doing so
may damage the vehicle.
INFORMATION
The air filter should be installed prop-
erly in position. The use of air condi-
tioning with the air filter removed
may cause deteriorated dustproof per-
formance and then affect air condi-
tioning performance.

First vacuum over the upholstery to re-
move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or
soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the
vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few
minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt
and wipe off the soap with a clean damp
cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, re-
peat the procedure. Commercial foaming
type vinyl cleaners are also available
which work well. Follow the manufacturer ’s
instructions.

or window cleaner on the interior.
Carpets

clean the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove
as much dirt as possible. Several types of

duce a foam. To shampoo the carpets,
use a sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles.Do not apply water—the best results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible. Read the shampoo instructions
and follow them closely.

mild soap and water or with lukewarm
water.
Use a cloth or sponge. As you are clean-
ing, check the belts for excessive wear,
fraying, or cuts.

belts—it may weaken them.
 Do not use the belts until they be-
come dry.

window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
