3-1. Using the air conditioning system
and defogger
3
Interior features
■Air conditioning odors
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■ 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.
■ 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.
