Operating tips
DTo 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.
DMake sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
DKeep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
DOn 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.
DWith air conditioning:When driving
on dusty roads, close all windows. If
dust thrown up by the vehicle 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 set-
ting except “
”(OFF).
DWith air conditioning: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 RECIR-
CULATE, which will close off the out-
side passage and prevent outside air
and dust from entering the vehicle inte-
rior.
DDuring use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then causeodor to
be emitted from the vents.
DTo reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up, do not select the windshield
air outlets during cool air operation
in extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature of
the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of
the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge, do not
leave the air conditioning system on
longer than necessary when the en-
gine is stopped.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM185
The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long term use. The filter may need
to be replaced if the air flow of the air
conditioning and heating and defrosting
experiences extreme reductions in oper-
ating efficiency, or if the windows begin
to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. (For scheduled maintenance informa-
tion, please refer to the “Toyota Service
Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty Booklet”.)

1. Pull out the air conditioning filter as
shown in the illustration.
2. Inspect the filter on the surface.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced.
INFORMATION
The air filter should be installed prop-
erly in position. The use of air condi-
tioning with the air filter removed
may cause deteriorated dustproof per-
formance and then affect air condi-
tioning performance.
