2011 TOYOTA CAMRY fog light

206 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched to
in accordance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.
■ 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.
■ 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 any of the following conditions occurs, the indicator light on the button
may flash and a motor sound may be heard. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
●The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in ON mode (vehicles with smart
key system) or the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without
smart key system) after the battery is reconnected.
● Engine starting and stopping is repeated at short intervals.
● The engine is started with the low voltage battery.

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 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 battery discharge
Do not leave the automatic air conditioning system on longer than necessary
when the engine is stopped.
■ 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.

212 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Vehicles without smart key system
In order to prevent the windows from fogging up, recirculated air mode may
automatically switch to outside air mode if the ambient temperature drops.
This feature can be cancelled by pushing and holding the air intake mode
switch for longer than 2 seconds. The feature will be reactivated when the
engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
■ 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.
■ 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.

Rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers
■Outside rear view mirror defoggers (if equipped)
Turning the rear window defogger on will turn the outside rear view mirror
defoggers on.
■ When the indicator light on the s witch flashes and a motor sound is
heard (vehicles with manual air conditioning)
If any of the following conditions occurs, it does not indicate a malfun\
ction.
● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with smart key system) or the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehi-
cles without smart key system) after the battery is reconnected.
● Engine starting and stopping is repeated at short intervals.
● The engine is started with the low voltage battery.
Clear the rear window using the defogger.
Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system
On/off
The defoggers will automati-
cally turn off the operation
time. The operation time is
between 15 minutes and 1
hour depending on the ambient
temperature and vehicle
speed.
Vehicles with manual air conditioning systemOn/off
The defoggers will automati-
cally turn off the operation
time. The operation time is
between 15 minutes and 1
hour depending on the ambient
temperature and vehicle
speed.

358 4-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or
alkaline solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor
the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.
● Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel's or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration o\
f
leather surfaces.
●Remove any dust or dirt on leather surfaces immediately.
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax, on the
upholstery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior
heats up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.
■ Cleaning the inside of the rear window
●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the
window in strokes running parallel to the heater wires or antenna.
● Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or antenna.
