NOTICE
Do not insert anything into the driv-
er’s side vent, attach anything to it,
or use sprays around the driver ’s side
vent. These things may cause the sys-
tem not to work properly.

“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch
Push the “ECO HEAT/COOL” switch to
select the “ECO HEAT/COOL” (economi-
cal) mode of the air conditioning. The indi-
cator on the switch comes on and “ECO”
appears on the air conditioning display to
indicate that the mode is on.
The efficiency of the air conditioning is
limited because the consumption of elec-
tricity is reduced, achieving a reduction of
fuel consumption. As a result, it may take
longer than the usual amount of time for
the inside air temperature to reach the set
temperature. The “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled
in the following cases:
The temperature control is set at “LO”
(the lowest temperature) or “HI” (the
highest temperature).
The air flow is set in the floor/wind-
shield mode or windshield mode.
“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch is pushed
again.

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 as follows:
For automatic operation—
Press in the “AUTO” button.
Temperature— To the desired
temperature
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air conditioning—OFF
For manual operation—
Fan speed— To the desired fan speed
Temperature— To w a r d s WARM
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 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. Air conditioning

Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—WINDSHIELD
Pressing the windshield air flow button
turns on the defogging function with the
purpose of clearing the front view.
When pressing the windshield air flow but-
ton, the air intake selects FRESH auto-
matically. This is to clean up the front
view more quickly. It is not possible to
return to RECIRCULATE in this mode. 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.

The air conditioning filter information
label is placed inside of 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.The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
cleaned or replaced if the air flow of
the air conditioning and heater experi-
ences extreme reductions in operating
efficiency, or if the windows begin to
fog up easily in FRESH mode.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect, clean and replace the air condi-
tioning filter according 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 scheduled maintenance in-
formation, please refer to the “Scheduled
Maintenance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual
Supplement”.)
