Outside/recirculated air mode (vehicles with an outside/recirculated air
mode lever)
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode lever to the recirculated air mode. This is effective
in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.

Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on
again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator
light goes off again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it
inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.

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.

function on/off button)

difference 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.

tioning system after use is normal.)

Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
Strange noises related to suspension movement
