AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM89
DTo cool off your Toyota after it has
been parked in the hot sun, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes.
This vents the hot air, allowing the air
conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
DMake sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
DKeep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
DOn cold days, set the fan speed to
high for a minute to help clear the
intake ducts of snow or moisture. This
can reduce the amount of fogging on
the windows.
DWhen driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake selector be set to
FRESH and the fan speed selector to
any setting except “OFF”.
DIf following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATE, which will close off the
outside passage and prevent outside
air and dust from entering the vehicle
interior.
DDuring use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then causeodor to
be emitted from the vents.
DTo reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up, do not select the windshield
air outlets during cool air operation
in extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference 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.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge, do not
leave the air conditioning system on
longer than necessary when the en-
gine is stopped.
Heating
For best results, set controls to:
Fan speed—Any setting except “OFF”
Temperature—To w a r d sWARM
(red zone)
Air intake—FRESH(outside air)
Air flow—FLOOR
Air conditioning—OFF
DFor quick heating, set the temperature
selector lever to the right end position
and select recirculated air mode for a
few minutes. To keep the windows from
fogging after the vehicle interior has
been warmed, select fresh air mode.
DPress the “A/C” button on for dehumidi-
fied heating.
DChoose floor/windshield air flow to heat
the vehicle interior while defrosting the
windshield.

It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, will
be pleased to make this check for you at
a nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Outside the vehicle
Tires (spare included).Check the pres-
sure with a gauge and look carefully for
cuts, damage, or excessive wear.
Wheel nuts.Make sure no nuts are mis-
sing or loose.
Fluid leaks.After the vehicle has been
parked for a while, check underneath for
leaking fuel, oil, water, or fluid.
Lights.Make sure the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signals and other
lights are all working. Check the headlight
aim.
Battery and cables.All the battery cells
should be filled to theproper level with
distilled water. Look for corroded or loose
terminals and a cracked case. Check the

STARTING AND DRIVING129
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded
after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause
serious damage to the vehicle.
NOTICE
Driving on a flooded road may cause
the engine to stall as well as cause
serious vehicle malfunctions such as
shorts in electrical components and
engine damage from water immersion.
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is
flooded, be sure to have any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional check brake function,
changes in quantity and quality of oil
and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, differential, etc. and lubricant
condition for the propeller shaft, bear-
ings and suspension joints (where
possible) and the function of all joints
and bearings.
Make sure your coolant is properly pro-
tected against freezing.
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite,
and non−borate coolant with long−life
hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant
with long−life hybrid organic acid
technology is a combination of low
phosphates and organic acids.)
See “Checking the engine coolant level”
on page 190 in Section 7−2 for details of
coolant type selection.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mix-
ture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized
water. This coolant provides protection
down to about−35_C(−31_F).
NOTICE
Do not use plain water alone.
Check the condition of the battery and
cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of
any battery, so it must be in top shape
to provide enough power for winter start-
ing. Section 7−3 tells you how to visually
inspect the battery. Any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, will be
pleased to check the level of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for the cold weather.
See page 188 in Section 7−2forrecom-
mended viscosity. Leaving a heavy sum-
mer oil in your vehicle during winter
months may cause harder starting. If you
are not sure about which oil to use, call
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional—who will be pleased to help.
