If the back window is not fully closed, the
back window wiper and washer will not
work. Make sure the back window is fully
closed when using the back window wiper
and washer.

er if the back window is dry. It may
scratch the glass.

To defog or defrost the back window,
push the switch with the back window
closed.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
back window will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light will illuminate to indicate
the defogger is operating.
On some models, heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will also quickly
clear the surfaces.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defoggers have operated about 15
minutes.If the back window is not fully closed, the
back window defogger will not work. Make
sure the back window is fully closed when
using the back window defogger.
If the back window is opened while the
defogger is working, the defogger will au-
tomatically turn off. Even if the back win-
dow is fully closed after that, the defogger
will not automatically turn on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop
−and− go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
CAUTION
On some models, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the defogger switch is on.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the back
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.

4. Floor/Windshield—Air flows mainly
from the floor vents and windshield
vents and fan speed may increase in
order to clean up the front view.
This button allows the air intake to
select FRESH automatically. This is to
clean up the front view more quickly.
If you want to return the setting to
RECIRCULATE mode, press the air in-
take selector button once again.
5. Windshield— Air flows mainly from the
windshield vents and fan speed may
increase in order to clean up the front
view.
Pressing this button once again returns
the air flow mode to the last one used.
This button allows the air intake to
select FRESH automatically. This is to
clean up the front view more quickly.
It is not possible to return to RECIR-
CULATE in this mode.
For details about air flow selector settings,
see “Air flow selector settings” described

Air intake selector
Push the button to select the air source.
An indicator light will illuminate to show
which the air source is being selected. 1. Recirculate— Recirculates the air inside
the vehicle.
2. Fresh— Draws outside air into the sys-
tem.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield,
the air intake mode may change automati-
cally to FRESH depending on the condi-
tion of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient tempera-
ture is low, the air intake mode may
change automatically to FRESH. This is
not a malfunction. If the ambient temperature is low when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position, the air intake mode is always set
to FRESH even though the previous mode
was RECIRCULATE.
“A/C” button
To turn on the air conditioning, push the
“A/C” button. The
“A/C” button indicator
will come on. To turn the air conditioning

The interior of your vehicle is apt
to heat up on hot summer days, so
avoid placing on the upholstery
items made of vinyl or plastic or
containing wax as these tend to
stick to leather when warm .
Improper cleaning of the leather up-
holstery could result in discolor-
ation or staining.
If you have any questions about the
cleaning of your Toyota, your local
Toyota dealer will be pleased to answer
them. On some models, the outside rear view
mirrors have been coated to produce a
“rain clearing” effect. This coating
causes the raindrops to spread, clear-
ing the driver’s rear view when it rains.
It is sufficient to wash the mirrors with
water for day to day care.
The rain clearing effect is reduced in
drizzle and light rain.
In the following cases, the rain clearing
effect will be reduced temporarily, but will
gradually recover.
After wiping dirt off the mirrors
When the mirrors fog up
After waxing your vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash
After your vehicle has been parked for
a long period in underground parking
lots, etc. where there is no direct sun-
light.
If you would like to restore the rain clear-
ing effect to its normal level immediately
in the above cases, wash the mirrors with
neutral detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
NOTICE
To maintain the rain clearing ability,
and prevent the mirrors from being
scratched, observe the following pre-
cautions.
Do not use any glass cleaners that
contain compounds.
If ice should jam the mirror, do not
scrape the mirror. Use a spray de
icer to free the mirror.
Wash off any wax stuck to the mir-
rors with neutral detergent and
rinse thoroughly as any wax on the
surface of the mirrors can cause
the rain clearing effect to be lost.
Do not use any water repellents as
they can destroy the rain clearing
effect. If any repellent gets stuck on
the surface of the mirrors, wash it
off with neutral detergent, then
rinse thoroughly.
