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

TM∗
The PlasmaclusterTM∗ helps to keep
good air quality in the cabin by emit-
ting positive and negative ions into the
cabin.
Operating the air conditioning system al-
lows positive and negative ions to come
out from the driver ’s side vent.
A low noise may be heard during opera-
tion. This is not a malfunction.
Static electricity may be discharged near
the driver ’s side vent because high volt-
age is used to operate the system.
To clean the driver’s side vent, wipe the
vent using a soft cloth after turning the
system off.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or repair the sys-
tem because it contains high voltage
parts. Call your Toyota dealer if the
system needs repair.

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.
