“MODE” button (air flow selector)
Press the button to select the vents used
for air flow.
In automatic operation, the air flow mode
is selected automatically among Panel, Bi−
level and Floor unless you desire another
air flow mode.
1. Panel— Air flows mainly from the
instrument panel vents. 2. Bilevel—
Air flows from both the floor
vents and the instrument panel vents.
When you set the temperature selector
setting at about the middle in automatic
operation, warm air flows out of the
floor vents and relatively low −tempera-
ture air flows out of the center and
side vents.
3. Floor— Air flows mainly from the floor
vents.
It is recommended that you close the
lower vent. For details about this, see
“Instrument panel vents” on page 301
in this Section.
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 position 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.
It is recommended that you close the
lower vent. For details about this, see
“Instrument panel vents” on page 301
in this Section. For details about air flow selector settings,
see “—Air flow selector settings” de-
scribed below.

Windshield air flow button
When this button is pressed, air flows
mainly from the windshield vents and fan
speed may increase in order to clean up
the front view.

When this button is pressed, air intake
selector mode changes to FRESH auto-
matically to clean up the front view quick-
ly. It is not possible to return to RECIR-
CULATE in this mode.
Press the “A/C” button for dehumidified
heating or cooling. This setting clears the
front view more quickly.
It is recommended that you close the
lower vent. For details about this, see
“Instrument panel vents” on page 301 in
this Section.
For details about air flow selector settings,
see “—Air flow selector settings” de-
scribed below.

Air intake selector button
Press the button to select the air source.1. RECIRCULATE— Recirculates the air in-
side the vehicle.
2. FRESH— Draws outside air into the
system.
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. When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the air intake mode is al-
ways set to FRESH even if the previous
mode was RECIRCULATE.
“A/C” button
To turn on the air conditioning, press the
“A/C” button. The “A/C” button indicator
will come on. To turn the air conditioning
off, press the button again.
If the “A/C” button indicator flashes, there
is a problem in the air conditioning system
and the air conditioning automatically
shuts off. If this happens, take your ve-
hicle to a Toyota dealer for service.

2982007 SEQUOIA from Aug. ’07 Prod. (OM34462U)
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”.
