Adjusting the settings
To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control dial clock-
wise (increase) or count erclockwise (decrease).
Turning the dial to “0” turns off the fan.
Vehicles without an air conditioning on/off button:
Turn the temperature control di al clockwise to increase the
temperature.
Vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button:
To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control
dial clockwise (warm) or counterclockwise (cool).
If is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature
air or heated air.
For quick cooling, turn the temperature control dial to “
MAX A/C”
position and set the outside/recirculated air mode button to recircu-
lated air mode.
To select the air outlets, set the air outlet selector dial to the
desired position.
The positions between the air outlet selections shown below can
also be selected for more delicate adjustment.
Defogging the windshield
Set the air outlet selector dial to position.
If the recirculated air mode is
used, it will automatically switch
to the outside air mode.
In this position, the outside/recir-
culated air mode cannot be
changed to the recirculated air
mode.

Interior features
■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 enter ing the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air m ode 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.

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
■
When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch on, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to
run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high.
( P. 248)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.

Maintenance and care
Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“FULL” line.
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant
with long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
Except Canada:“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% cool- ant and 50% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 F
[-35 C])
Canada: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -44 F [-42 C])
For more details about engine coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir cap, radiator
cap, drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.

248 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Radiator and condenserCheck the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign
objects.
If either of the above parts are ex tremely dirty or you are not sure of
their condition, have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the radiator cap.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor stra ight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
CAUTION
■When the engine is hot
Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and cause
serious injuries, such as burns.
