■Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■ Engine speed while driving

This is due to automatic up-shifting c ontrol or down-shifting implementation
to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

■
Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidify in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively. (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily. (vehicles with
an air conditioning on/off button)
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
■ When the indicator light on goes off by itself (vehicles with an
air conditioning on/off button)
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
your Toyota dealer.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32°F (0°C) (vehicles with
an air conditioning on/off button)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
is
pressed.
