2005 TOYOTA ECHO air conditioning

Air flow selector settingsOperating 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
RECIRCULATED, which will close off
the outside passage and prevent out-
side air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.
When turning the temperature selector
fully to the left–“Max.cool” position,
cold air comes out from the center
vents in spite of the position of the air
flow selector.Heating
For best results, set controls to:
Fan speed— Any setting except “OFF”
Temperature— Towards red zone
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—FLOOR
Air conditioning—OFF
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
warmed.
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. Air conditioning
For best results, set controls to:

For quick cooling, move the air intake
selector to recirculate for a few min-
utes.

Defogging
The inside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:Fan speed— Any setting except “OFF”
Temperature— Towards red zone to heat;
blue zone to cool
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—WINDSHIELD
Turning the air flow control knob to wind-
shield position turns on the defroster −
linked air conditioning. This is to clean up
the front view more quickly.
When the “A/C” button is not pressed in,
turning the air flow control knob to a posi-
tion other than windshield or floor/wind-
shield turns off the air conditioning.
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. Defrosting
The outside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:

To heat the vehicle interior while de-
frosting the windshield, choose
floor/windshield air flow.

The air conditioning filter information
label is placed inside the glove box as
shown and indicates that a filter has
been installed.
The air conditioning filter prevents dust
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.
SZ72004
The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filters may clog
after long use. The filters may need to
be replaced if the air flow of the air
conditioning and heater experiences ex-
treme reductions in operating efficiency,
or if the windows become to fog up
easily in FRESH mode.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
replace the air conditioning filters accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule. In dusty
areas or areas with heavy traffic flow,
such as inner city or desert areas, early
replacement may be required. (For sched-
uled maintenance information, please refer
to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner ’s Manual Supplement”.)

3. Remove the filter from the filtercase.
4. Inspect the filter on the surface.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced.
INFORMATION:
The air filter should be installed proper-
ly in position. The use of air condition-
ing with the air filter removed may
cause deteriorated dustproof perfor-
mance and then affect air conditioning
performance.

When cleaning the air conditioning filter,
blow the dust out of the filter with com-
pressed air from the backside of the filter.
INFORMATION:
Frequency of the cleaning varies de-
pending on road conditions (dusty
road, etc). Earlier cleaning is recom-
mended.
The air filter should be installed
properly in position. The use of air
conditioning with the air filter re-
moved may cause deteriorated dust-
proof performance and then affect
air conditioning performance.
