AIR CONDITIONING
254
The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reduc-
tions in operating efficiency, or if the win-
dows become to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning fil-
ter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy
traffic flow, such as inner city or desert
areas, early replacement may be required.
(For scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Warranty and Services
Guide/Owner’s Manual Supplement/
Scheduled Maintenance”.)
Before replacing the air conditioning filter,
turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
IGNITION ON mode and switch to recircu-
lated air mode, then turn the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch off.1. Open the glove box and remove the
partition.
2. Remove the filter cover.
REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
258
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The left and right displayed on the
screen are the same as those of the in-
side rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the selector lever in the
“R” position when the “ENGINE START
STOP”switch is in the IGNITION ON
mode.
If you move the selector lever out of the “R”
position, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of the
navigation system will display another
screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Do not use the system when the
backdoor is not completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
