180 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Using the automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature set-
ting and ambient conditions. As a result, the following may occur.
●The system may switch automatically to recirculated air mode when the
coolest temperature setting is selected in summer.
● Immediately after
is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until
warm or cool air is ready to flow.
● Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is
on.
■ Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used for
an extended period.
■ When the “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled
●The temperature control is set at “LO” (the lowest temperature) or “HI”
(the highest temperature).
● The air flow is set in the floor/windshield mode or windshield mode.
● The “ECO HEAT/COOL” switch is pushed again.
■ Window defogger feature
Recirculated air mode may automatically switch to outside air mode in situa-
tions where the windows need to be defogged.
■ When outside air temperat ure approaches 32°F (0°C)
The air conditioning system may not operate even when
is pressed.
■ When the indicator light on flashes
Press
and turn off the air conditioning system before turning it on
once more. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indi-
cator light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■ Windshield air flow button
When the “POWER” switch is set at ON mode after the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the indicator light on the button may flash and a motor sound
may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Interior features
■Plasmacluster *
This air conditioning system adopts plasmacluster technology, which helps
to keep good air quality in the cabin by emitting positive and negative ions
through the driver's side vent.
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction. Also,
static electricity may be discharged near the driver's side vent due to the
high voltage used to operate the system.
To clean the drive's side vent, turn the system off and wipe the vent using a
soft cloth.
*Plasmacluster technology is manufactured under license from the SHARP
Corporation.
“Plasmacluster ” is a trademark of the SHARP Corporation.
CAUTION
■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
■ Plasmacluster 
Do not disassemble or repair the system because it contains high voltage
parts. Call your Toyota dealer if the system needs repair.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the 12-volt battery from being discharged
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
hybrid system is off.
■ To prevent damage to the Plasmacluster
Do not insert anything into the driver's side vent, attach anything to it, or use
sprays around the drive's side vent. These things may cause the system not
to work properly.
